A quirky but effective gun safety video, using dildos in lieu of guns

By Mona Goldwater and Jack Brummet

Jack: Quite possibly the best gun safety video ever! Not anti-gun, just focused on keeping guns locked up. These guys at Evolve are just great!

Mona: No political/2nd amendment ranting, just a funny and kinky PSA about gun safety. Brilliant.

"Lady, your anxiety is showing (over a coexisting depression)" folder cover for "The Nervous System anatomical illustrations" published by Merck, Sharp and Dohme, West Point, PA. Circa. 1969. Advertises Triavil "a broad-spectrum psychotheraputic agent for the management of outpatients and hospitalized patients with psychoses or neurosis characterized by mixtures of anxiety or agitation with symptoms of depression..."
