We have covered PSA's on here before. They usually are usually take the scared straight approach and can be disturbingly effective. Old grade School educational filmstrips on the other hand were usually just wholesome to the point of being silly in their approach to teach a lesson. Today I came across a one that is truly bizarre. It is a bicycle safety video from 1963 titled 'One Got Fat'. The video sees children, dressed as chimps acting like children, riding their bikes to a picnic. One by one the monkey-children have horrible accidents due to their failure to obey proper bicycle safety. That is all except for one. He makes it to the picnic where he eats everyone’s food and gets fat.
