Over the course about 20 mins 6 kids playing on a farm are dispatched by falling into slurry pits, drinking chemicals and getting run over by tractors.
- VLM 11y agoWe had something similar to that in America at weird times of day or night with televangelist evangelical christian dramatizations. I remember one particular episode, I'm sleepless with a fever from a cold and mindlessly changing channels and there's some kids playing around farm equipment that would give OSHA a fit (but this was a long time ago, back when OSHA was new...) and naturally one of the kids VERY dramatically loses a leg, and then it cuts to the evangelical preaching part of the sermon along the lines of god loves you so be chill when bad things happen, based on a true story! However effective at converting adults, I will say it was almost subversively ineffective at converting me as a little kid... all I got out of it personally was don't play around farms, and the preacher's god is a complete jerk to rip the legs off a little kid.
