It's very musical. Say it outloud. Go ahead, you know you want to.

That's totally what I thought was going to happen.
I knew it wasn't going to end up that the kid died, because the footage isn't footage that a parent would shoot of their child, know what I mean? It's not home movie enough.

but it is though...kind of...I didn't shoot it with this in mind. I guess I was trying to be artistic though. :-/
I could totally flip it to say "Where's Mommy?"..."Mommy was killed by a drunk driver." *shudder*

Re: DRUNK DRIVING
Ooooh, no, I think that's a bit much...
Have some footage that's hand held, down low to the ground. Shaky, in and out of focus. Like a mom that doesn't care about cinematography, just about documenting her child.
You could even hear the mom's voice in the background "Who's mommy's big boy?"
Then reveal that the parents were killed.
That would hit hard.

Re: DRUNK DRIVING

That reminds me a story I heard from a 767 pilot. A friend of his was on a plane somewhere over South America, and asked the flight attendant if he could smoke (the "No smoking" sign was on). The attendant replied that she would ask the captain. A minute later the first officer comes to this fellow, and says menacingly (like that Greek bar owner guy in Shirley Valentine) "I am informed you would like to have a cigarette?".
Our friend is a bit scared, so he just nods his head. The first officer says "Come with me, please." The fellow thinks he's gonna get arrested or something, but he gets up and follows the pilot to the cockpit. The door opens, and inside it's BLUE with cigar smoke - you can't tell what's the smoke and what are clouds. And they are drinking, too!
I think the guy never went to Peru again...
But seriously, if you want to avoid drunken pilots, don't go to Russia.
P.S. Sorry if you guys expected a better punchline
;D

I like that idea, but sadly a fleet of 747's isn't big enough.

Re: DRUNK DRIVING
My step mom's nephew is 23 yrs old and he just killed a 19 year old drinking and driving. :'( Bad choice and hopefully he will be held accountable. I'm sure most people 17 yrs old and above have had some kind of experience with DD. Although it is one of the worst things you can do I don't agree it should be classified as 2nd degree murder. It just doesn't meet the definition of the law. They should just stricten the punishments on involuntary manslaughter in relation to drinking and driving.

Nice work Hillcity. I'm all for MADD but in my opinion they need a serious makeover in the ad department. If the knowledge of possible out come of driving under the influece doesn't deter you then their clips don't stand a hope in hell, at least the one's Ive seen

I leave Dec 29 for Peru, now I am worried.
However, I do have a fun Game we like play when we go to Peru. It's called, Let's Try Find OUt Who is The Air Marshall!
Whoever can get him into action, wins $100. However, none of us are ever brave enough to do that, and we just try to guess.

That's not lack of courage. It's common sense. Leave the man be.
