I agree that the comments on YouTube may not be representative of the majority response. (These sorts of discussions have bedevilled advertising for decades.)However, given that the ads are targetted to young workers and this age group is also a big user of Web 2.0 technology, I would be interested to see how WorkSafe will use the same media services and technology that its target audience uses.

I await the WorkSafe blog, the Worksafe Facebook page, the text messaging, the mobile phone video messaging,…….
