Growing up, they had us buckling up before we drove off to get VD at a Union meeting.

Songs we sang on the playground. The nuns really enjoyed our rendition of VD is for Everybody.

A Louisiana classic that I remember. There were other ones too like it, but this was the first one I could find on BoobTube.

Illiteracy and low literacy rates in the U.S. are still shockingly high.

When I was in college I walked through the English building at night, and passed an open classroom door where the teacher seemed to be teaching first grade reading. Then I realized it was a class full of adults. People (me) just take the most basic things for granted.

Wildest part about Mr. Yuk was they'd give you a sheet of Mr. Yuk stickers at school and told you to go home and drag out all the dangerous chemicals under your sink and put a Mr. Yuck sticker on each bottle to remind you not to touch the dangerous chemicals under your sink.

Yeah, that's fine for folks in California, Phoenix and Las Vegas, but in metro New Orleans we have a shite-ton of water and it's cheap.

"Union Label" not really a public service announcement; it was an actual advertisement by the Union trying to make sure people buy their goods to keep them going.

Didn't work out so well for them, most items of clothing nowadays are made in sweatshops overseas or in Mexico.

Here is a slightly later commercial advertisement supporting unions, from the AFL-CIO:

The ninja turtles set in New Orleans instead of New York would have been a funny twist.
