These movies were great. Agreeance with Lobo here.

really, if you can't laugh at domestic abuse, what can you laugh at? i like them

I thought the first one was funny

The second one wasn't though, more to the point of what they were trying to say, I suppose.

Well, their point was made - if those commercials were meant to make one feel anger than I certaintly fucking felt it. I can't find those funny or amusing.

I think what actually bothered me more about those commercials was that - hypothetically if it happened in real life... anyone around the area would immediatley stop the situation. I think seeing that no one in those commercials did anything, especially whilst the waitress had hot coffee poured all over her (that scream was awful) - is what really bothered me. I could never stand by and watch something like that happen... and a real man wouldn't let that happen as well. I'm with 88mph.

Not funny.

Why did they waste their money making these? They're not going to get shown anywhere.

Maybe in classrooms during "educational video OMFG IN YOUR FACE SCARE THE BEJEEZUS OUT OF THE LITTLE DEVILS time", but even there they would get laughed at. I can't imagine where else they would be useful.

I'm sure we all feel the same, as I would do the same thing.

Good ads, they made their point very strongly. Maybe too strong for wussy little US tv but great for Europe.

Why didn't the waitress smash the coffee pot across his face, anyway? I've never understood the passive response to violence. It's a very simple cause/effect situation- when someone threatens or takes action against you, you make damn sure they're never capable of doing to you again, ever. Of course, then it'd be a crap allegory for domestic abuse...

At this point should I say that violence against women doesn't bother me any more than violence against any other group? Probably not...

I quite regret seeing those videos.
