Serious drinking and driving messages don't always have to be bottled in depression and blood, as seen with the recently viral NZTA 'Legend' ad.
The video depicts a teen party and a lone guy imagining how insufferable life would be if his best mate crashed after driving from the party drunk. His disturbance is not from the tragedy though, but mostly because he would be trapped playing puzzles with his mate's family, and the mate's ghost would probably haunt/annoy him forever. Lost in his day dream, his friends ask him what's wrong, to which he responds in the delicious New Zealand accent, "I've been internalizing a complicated situation in my head. Don't crash there, Crash here!"
The NZTA Legend video, with its hilarious one liners and ear cuddling speech, springs life an important message, and has in effect reached more youth than the New Zealand Transport Agency had ever intended.
