The most shocking thing about this U.K. PSA from Time2Change is its tabloid-style title: "Schizophrenic Man Terrifies Kids at Party." He does so by telling stories and wielding balloon animals. The point, of course, is that we shouldn't prejudge his behavior. I must admit that I did just that. I was actually let down, though not exactly surprised, when he didn't freak out—and I knew the general theme of the spot going in! I also found myself thinking that those kids look awfully small and vulnerable alone in the room with that guy.
