Here, everybody - have a 1970s traffic-safety video 'hosted' by John Pertwee, complete with the most useless acronym ever invented.

How on earth did I survive 25 years as a pedestrian without SPLINK?

Oh, that's awesome! Now I can finally cross streets safely! Thanks, Jon Pertwee!

S is for Stop, P is for... Pretty good thing you stopped there, lookit all those cars?

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who, two minutes after watching the video (when I stopped laughing my head off) could not for the life of me remember what the hell it was supposed to stand for.

I mean... love for Pertwee, of course. But dear gods that was silly. ♥

And how is SPLINK not the name of an inept regulatory body charged with auditing Torchwood in a lighthearted one-off episode? Get on it, Rusty!

You're going to write that, now, right? Because that is way too awesome not to be written.

It's the face that L stands for both look and listen, yet I stands for if traffic is coming, don't cross.

S for stop,
P for pertwee...
L for laughing and
I for ignore
N for new
K for 'Kronym.

Yeah, I think I like yours much better than whatever they had. XD

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Yeah... seems a bit problematic, that...

But, um... Pertwee is cute? At least we have that.
