British Anti-Terror Ad Puts Whole New Spin On Being Neighborly

» 1 comment

Well this takes “If you see something, say something” to a whole new level. There is apparently a radio advertisement currently running in England encouraging people to, um, keep an eye on their neighbors, particularly ones who keep their curtains closed, only use cash (as is that is something you would know), and aren’t terribly neighborly. Basically beware if the people living around you behave like full-time bloggers!

Kidding. The advertisement is actually warning the residents of England that if they observe any of these things, and especially all of the together, they should report their neighbors: “This may mean nothing, but together it could all add up to you having suspicions…We all have a role to play in combating terrorism” Video below.

    Britain has a long history with terrorism and I can recall a previous campaign that dealt with unattended packages and possibly public trash cans.

    Nonetheless and maybe I’m just sick, but after reading the post and watching the video, I started imagining how Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French could work the message into an AbFab episode.
