Koreans React To American PSA For The First Time **SHOCKING** | KATCHUP

[@JNB0723]

@@ashleygonzalez9130 yeah, Texas gets the worst of it, which is funny with their gun laws.

[@maizeman90]

The school shooting PSA is probably the best PSA ever made. It doesn't pull it's punches and it hits you hard.

[@Ateezwooyoung]

It might be true what you are saying, but it’s just a PSA in case of a shooting, not a PSA of preventing. Because the US doesn’t care about the „why“ or blames it on bs, except to look for the cause which is in most cases bullying of some sort. Just like suicide. Both have the main reason BULLYING.

[@dankmemer6576]

​@@AteezwooyoungBro u saying this when at the end of it it literally said "its preventable, the signs are there"???

[@frenchchicken2799]

There's another PSA like that but it's only showing one boy in the spotlight, and you're only drawn to that boy, but in reality another boy behind him and showing signs of aggression.

[@furygeist]

The school shooting psa gives me shivers every time. I get so choked up. This is supposed to be a first world country but kids can't even go to school with the expectation of safety. It's so sad.

[@SkyeWPlayz]

[@octosquid48]

[@brandonaston301]

In the past back to school shopping was about buying your favorite supplies for the school year, folders with your favorite cartoon character on them, your favorite color pencil box etc. Nowadays its about picking out items that you might need to defend yourself during a school shooting. A protractor has a new purpose.

[@littleflowers7678]

They’re selling and advertising bullet proof backpacks too and at my school, some of the kids took the tennis balls off of the bottoms of the chairs to use as a projectile when we had an incident of our own. Everything became a shield, a projectile, a weapon, a barricade, and a potential medical aid. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt!

[@gingerdog8203]

I don't think that's happening enough to say "nowadays"

[@OverlordAlpha]

Yeah it's called fear mongering

[@Skylareed-k3z]

​@@OverlordAlpha it's not fear mongering when it happens every month and our government has done nothing to prevent it.

[@Skylareed-k3z]

​@@gingerdog8203 it is happening enough to say it's happening now

[@LBKeen]

The school shooting psa with that little girl always makes me cry. ALWAYS

[@nyxosborne_edits]

The school shooting one is realistic, cause before it you could be bragging about your new backpack or skateboard, but during its now a defense or means to escape

[@oNashiio]

The school shooting one never fails to make me cry because it’s so dam accurate 😞

[@makenziemay5449]

The texting while driving thing scares me cause my mom and other parental figures do that alot when im in the car and i feel like im the one whos driving cause im not on my phone and they are. I constantly have to tell her when to go for green light which is annoying and im just tired of this

[@Elilucksout]

Same, I’m constantly yelling at my mom to stop typing on her phone. Shes been driving way longer than I ever been alive and she knows she shouldn’t but she still does. I had to snatch her phone once cause we were on the highway in heavy traffic and she wasn’t paying attention.

[@medinasia]

Good reaction! Just surprised by their comments on drugs. Alcohol is a drug too and can become dangerous just as any other drugs

[@SecretRumors456]

From what I heard there’s a big drinking culture in Korea maybe that’s why?

[@bribunny12345]

i think it’s bc drinking is very common and socially acceptable but drugs aren’t so people tend to abuse alcohol instead of doing drugs.

[@zolline]

That last one always makes me tear up 😭

[@radioactive_sunflowerz2450]

As an American growing up having school shooter drills since kindergarten it took me leaving the country to realize that it effected me mentally more than i thought, especially regarding how i view school and public spaces. I definitely think this fear and trauma affects our kids quality of education amd it breaks my heart.

[@littlebink]

TAC (the drunk driving one) is an Australian ad, we take drunk driving and speeding very seriously here

[@waltlock8805]

Smokey Bear is the poster child (:grin:) for unintended consequences. The major forest fires in California are in large part because we prevented the smaller ones. Forest fires are a necessary part of the forest life cycle.

[@REBMA102]

In the texting and driving isn’t that the daughter in Ginny and Georgia 😂

[@sse7660]

“Is it about the poor?” 😂😂😂

[@AnxiousTrixie]

I have never seen a better PSA About suicide be more effective than one KZbin video was It's called "The Morning After I Killed Myself"

[@Mia-dt3gl]

The PSA that has “Nicky’s call” is also very effective. Just a trigger warning to anyone who looks it up; it’s a 9-1-1 phone call from a little girl who finds her brother after he committed suicide.

[@jcuff715]

Thank God, that is not the smokey bear of my time because that would freak me out

[@Summer-be4hv]

School shootings have become the norm here in the US..There have been 488 mass shootings across the US so far in 2024 and 83 school shootings as of Dec.16, 2024. Kids as young as 5 start active shooter drills in school where cops go around with real guns pretending to be an active shooter..One of my friends had to take her child out of public school (she was 7) because of how much stress and fear the drills and everything else was causing her child. I almost bought my son one of those bulletproof back backs one year...Every day I send him to school wondering if the next time I see him will be to identify his body after a school shooting. Living in America is absolutely terrifying but what is even more terrifying, is raising a child here.

[@OverlordAlpha]

Mass shootings are not what you think they are. An actual shooting where someone takes a weapon and opens up into a crowd of bystanders is more rare than having a tree fall on you. A mass shooting constitutes a shooting involving 4 or more individuals and nobody has to die for it to be considered a mass shooting. This a daily occurrence in Chicago, y'know, where some of the strictest gun laws are? School doesn't even have to be in for it to be considered a school shooting. Stray shots or a shooting after hours is considered a school shooting even if it's not in the school itself nor anyone from the school itself is involved.

[@melseyeliner]

4:23 okay this lady is hilarious

[@emmyg]

The PSA’s about School Shootings was made by sandy hook promise named after The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a mass shooting that occurred on December 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut, United States, when 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people. Twenty of the victims were children between six and seven years old, and the other six were adult staff members. Earlier that day, before driving to the school, Lanza fatally shot his mother at their Newtown home. As first responders arrived at the school, Lanza died by suicide, shooting himself in the head. The incident is the deadliest mass shooting in Connecticut history and the deadliest at an elementary school in U.S. history. The shooting prompted renewed debate about gun control in the United States, including proposals to make the background-check system universal, and for new federal and state gun legislation banning the sale and manufacture of certain types of semi-automatic firearms and magazines which can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition.

[@OverlordAlpha]

The thing is, regardless of what happens, the Government is unlikely to ever truly ban these guns. During the Bundy standoff the Feds and State Police brought out over 200 law enforcement officers but were still outnumbered by local Militia and had to concede in the end, with the assistant sheriff saying "They were shouting at us and pointing guns. We were outgunned and outmanned. It wouldn't have have a good result." Militia members had set up checkpoints and various positions including "Tactical positions on overpasses overlooking Law Enforcement" And that was over cattle, just imagine how they'd react over actual Gun Legislation. Most Law Enforcement in recent years have become overwhelmingly pro 2a, with most owning private guns themselves same as the Military. Thousands of counties have made their counties "2a strongholds" where local Law Enforcement refuse to enforce gun laws that they view as infringement. It's a hard decision to make so in the end they will do everything but actually ban guns. Any real Legislation usually immediately gets scrapped. But truthfully, Politicians are afraid of enacting gun legislation because they know the Militias and gun owners will show up their doorsteps and there will be widespread Civil unrest. Possibly even a second Civil War.

The DUI one is an Australian TAC advertisement. The slogan "don't drink and drive you bloody idiot" came around in Australia in the 70s I'm pretty sure

[@infiresnation7430]

We watched the school shooting PSA in class right after it came out

[@Yourlocalmultistan]

4:34 this one always makes me sad it's based on a real life shooting too (Sandy hook elementary) I feel like shootings are the most common thing in the US especially in the bad parts of America like Ohio

[@penguinsquad2638]

Yeah, it's sad that it's most common in the states. With my school is most known for its school shootings and suicides it's really fucked up when you see those ads and someone who's not use to it starts crying and feeling sorry.

[@weyheyjackie]

A school shooting just happened here again, when will we learn?

[@The_strawberryqueen]

The car crash commercial is very similar to motorcycle safety video, they show you it in drivers ed it was so sad to see this young man bond with the biker just for him to realize that it was the bikers time

[@lilymoon4718]

What is PSA?

[@emcara6334]

It stands for Public Service Announcement. The point of them is to bring awareness to a dangerous issue (texting and driving, drug use, school shooting, etc) and educate people as a way to prevent these issues from happening

[@Ateezwooyoung]

5:24 that’s rich coming from Koreans, if you had guns (illegal or legal) you had more shootings than the US. Your bullying is ten times worse.

[@Ateezwooyoung]

Did you ever wondered why Korea is always in the top three, mostly number one, when it comes to suicide? Corruption, literal slavery… don’t act all high and mighty, I love Korea, but it is far from perfect. Ever heard of „the frog boys“? The Sewol ferry? Burnin sun? The JMS CULT? The curling iron incident? The „Korea Death mall“ incident… shall I go on and let’s talk about all the cover ups and lies. Shall we talk about Woo Bum-kon? Kim Dae-doo? Lee Chun-jae? Yoo Young-chul? Or the incidents in July/August? Two Attacks with knives and a car? The Halloween incident? The incident where a bunch of 13 year old killed an 18 year old and got nothing? Oh what about the Nth Room case? Or shall we talk about Workplaces? Illegal business practices are comparatively common, as are behaviours towards employees that would be considered illegal in many developed countries. Even hitting/beating employees and forcing women to drink and endure sexual harassment/assault… like f.e. Towards female soldier, who then unsubscribe from life…. Too much hardcore nationalist! Discrimination against dark skinned people! Drinking and driving which causes massive numbers of causalties, Too many perverts who put up cameras! They found cameras hidden in toilets in a well known restaurant! Hotels and under-skirt pictures/videos…Plastic surgery everywhere, Women are considered not equal to men! Prostitution, South Korea has largest numbers of prostitutes ranked 2nd after venuzuela per 100000person. So again don’t act like Korea is so much better… I could write more but I need some sleep…

[@Ateezwooyoung]

And now we deleting comments… says a lot. Still a bunch of communists. Zero freedom of speech.

[@Ajax-120]

Praying that someone doesn’t die has nothing to do with the occurrence percentage of bullying or shootings. It’s not a competition of what country has it worse. Every country has crime in it doesn’t mean it’s “rich coming from Koreans” to care about another country’s crime and bullying.

Pure propaganda is saying that there wasn’t concentration camps in the US and that they were housing to protect the Japanese citizens. PSAs are awareness ads for issues that should be addressed. Learn what propaganda is first before spouting bullshit.
