has anyone seen those new 000 govourment ads advising peopleto not call 000 for stupid shit?

it has pictures of fire fighters and they play a recorded 000 call of some idiot along with some heroic music.

"emergancy police fre or ambulance, "
"yer hi i need an electrition to fix up some powerpoints in my house ,"
" i cant connect you to that "
, "i can only connect you to emergancy serivces"
"THIS IS AN EMERGANCY ! I DONT HAVE ANY POWER POINTS"
"HOW DARE YOU CALL UP 000 YOU STUPID DESPERATE DRUNK 20 YEAR OLD!"

nah just kidding they didnt say that last bit
but, how stupid can some idiots be?

It's the same kind of retarded behaviour that you get from people who refuse to pull over for emergency vehicles with lights and sirens blaring.

Maybe someone can offer an explanation for it... because I sure can't.

I like this. Perhaps the government should include this in ads for when to call 000 for an ambo and when not to......thanks to BWTS

I agree with all but one of those - I think this one is a bit rough:

* If you have harmed yourself or taken an overdose. You done it you can sort it out.

Drug (legal and illegal) OD can be a life-threatening condition!
