Even in the oft-jarring, frequently sickening category of road-safety PSAs, Advance Advertising in Jakarta manages to shock with this 45-second effort for broadcaster QTV. You could complain that the buildup lasts too long, or that similar approaches have been used in ads before. Still, there's no denying the brutal impact of the final frames.
