Dumb Ways to Die

by Morgan O'Rourke on November 29, 2012 · 3 comments

Metro Trains Melbourne, an Australian train company, recently created an entertaining way to promote rail safety with an animated video entitled “Dumb Ways to Die.” The video and accompanying song are both darkly amusing and extremely catchy and has already gone viral with more than 28 million views on YouTube since its debut November 14. I would say that’s pretty effective for a safety campaign.

Meanwhile, the song has been stuck in my head all morning.

Enjoy.

You know, I could have sworn I’ve come across this blog before on but upon looking at some of the entries I figured out that it’s new to me.

Anyhow, I’m quite satisfied I found it and I’ll be bookmarking it and checking back often.
