Each week we want to give you a little something odd with which to start your week. Just a bit odd–consider it a vaccine against the WTF that your life will steadily become ensnared in as the work week progresses. But today we want to take the opportunity to warn you…against escalators.

I find it amusing that the bit starts with talking about how you can find escalators everywhere “these days.” As though there was a plague of escalators upon the land or something. I also love the “Stand still, stand steady” bit…it’s as though the escalator was a T-Rex from Jurassic Park or something. Ah well.
Ahhh.. the 70’s. Era of “We’re all gonna die!” tv ads…

Has a GREAT collection of them, mostly 70’s but going back to the 50s!
Including the “early warning” nuclear attack films!
The scraiest of them all.. “Spirit of dark and lonely waters”, which is narrated by Donald Pleasence!
