I went looking around on youtube for those PSAs yesterday and I saw one I didn't see as a kid, but it would have scared me even more than the ballerina one. It was one of a girl who was pounding on a guy's chest in a bathroom after he'd apparently OD'd. It said "I wanna be a nurse"…..and the woman doing the pounding just looked so scared! I think the slow motion is what made it even more scary.
