The use of extension cords was such a problem in 1970s Korea that something had to be done. Government officals were frozen with fear. Fortunately the 금성 corporation was willing to look the Extension Cord Menace right in the eyes (or sockets…whatever the case might have been) and put together this informative spot educating people on the correct way to plug appliances in. Even though the add is 30 something years old, the message it holds is still the same. Technology is evil and must be stopped by limiting the number of items we plug in, we are limiting our dependence on technology. It’s the Matrix dude…it’s so deep and junk. If you don’t unplug the TV, how can you yourself get plugged in? Woah…that’s so deep!
All deep philosophical revelations aside, this is a 1970’s public service announcement about the safe way to use electrical sockets. It’s a cartoon, and it has that same reverb effect on the vocal that all Korean film of that era seems to have. Check it out…it’s pretty fun.
