before we get to the video I wanted to
let you guys know we're having a huge
clearance sale on the website discounts
over 50% off on everything you could
think of hats shirts drinkware you name
it
so click the link in the description and
head over there and check it out hello
ladies and gentlemen this is a public
service announcement from deaf battle
labs we would like to inform you that
PSA is found in comic books and other
nerdy media are generally stupid so
we're gonna make fun of them I'm Jocelyn
the intern I do all the research and
nobody else wants to straight from the
desk Oh get battle now before I start of
course there are some worthwhile comics
out there that bring to light real world
issues a great example would be the
three separate comics DC has published
about the horrible consequences of land
mines and the damage they do to
unintended victims but today we're
talking about the ones that are well
let's just say done poorly like the time
daredevil once found himself in a
splendidly stupid and neat public
service announcement I you not
ladies and gentlemen this PSA is about
the dangers of gasoline fumes which are
embodied by the allegorical villain vape
aura seriously who needed to be taught
not to use their lighter four feet away
from an open gas container in an
enclosed space we literally use gasoline
to power cars because it explodes so
well I have never in my entire life used
gasoline for anything other than making
explosions so why the hell would you
ever be surprised that gasoline explodes
the comic does however point out that
this can cause harm to innocent
bystanders so you're not just pushing
yourself off the darwinian ledge here so
what I took away from this is that if
you're dumb enough to hurt yourself at
least try not to hurt others in the
process you then there's the time
man teamed up with the Clinton
administration to take on a topic so
heinous it required a four chapter story
and ended up becoming one of the most
widely circulated public service
announcements ever what topic could
Spidey be saving us from what public
menace needed the webslinger to stop the
most lethal of all drugs of course yeah
that's right they chose a guy who's in
love with a girl named Mary Jane to tell
you not to smoke a reefer you're not
fooling anyone Peter
despite these comics appearing in
everything from Boys Life magazine to
national Geographics I'm gonna go ahead
and say that Spiderman
failed on his mission considering
there's a dispensary down the street
that'll sell you brownies soup tank
it'll take you back to that 90s and
don't for a second think this is
spider-man's one and only PSA oh no this
guy's been doing it for years just to
give you a few examples he's helped
inner-city youth stay away from the
dangers of cigarettes inspired kids to
become engineers oh and in spider-man
hit and run Peter gets sent to Canada to
cover a baseball game where I you
not he tells the local kids about
bicycle safety with Ghost Rider Ghost
Rider even tells one kid to wear a
helmet while not wearing a helmet but
now let me show you the PS there as his
own sub Spidey's PS a work the amazing
spider-man vs. of the prodigy this comic
was made in conjunction with Planned
Parenthood so you probably know where
this is going anyway this alien called
The Prodigy comes to earth disguised as
a human in search of a new source of
child laborers naturally he comes up
with the plan of using his vocal
manipulation power that just makes
people believe whatever he says to
convince kids there is absolutely no
harm in having tons of unprotected
sex clearly his hopes are that all the
teenagers of New York will just start
banging like rabbits and in nine months
he'll fly back into space with an army
of babies Oh
I think of the truehl won't someone
think of the drill luckily for the teens
of New York though Spidey shows up and
shoots webbing down the prodigies throat
which is certainly one way to not get
pregnant making it so he can no longer
talk and therefore not be able to
influence the teens of New York so at
the end of the day remember kids
practice safe sex because you never know
if you're just being mind-controlled by
an alien that's trying to snatch up your
baby for intergalactic child labor
purposes fun fact
Batman and Robin once taught us how to
do the Heimlich on someone who's choking
and well it's pretty damn funny
