Brilliant in fact. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=36930#post-103602 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 10:30:16 +0000 Newsquelch 103602@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>A spokesperson for the British Heart Foundation said “it’s a terrible shame, but dozens of men die needlessly each year because other men won’t perform CPR out of fear they may look like they are enjoying it” </p> <p>Previous awareness campaigns in the 1980s featured an actor alternating between the kiss of life and the Heimlich Manoeuvre with a male dummy inside a cupboard, accompanied by instructions read out in time to a disco soundtrack; the British Heart Foundation admits now, in hindsight, that the infomercial might have built up something of a negative stereotype which they’re keen to do away with.</p> <p>One man who didn’t want to be named, described what happened after he saved the life of his former best friend who'd had a heart attack at a Sunday kick-about “I was ostracised from the team, there would be hushed whispers and eventually I had to accept that the simple act of performing the kiss of life on a pal made them all think I was a bit of a bumdar.”</p> <p>To this the BHF said “With our new campaign, we hope to make CPR look more like an act of Alpha Male dominance, even a bit like a fight. We suggest that it would even be fine to intersperse punches to the chest with the odd one to the face to make it look like a really savage beating.”</p> <p>The new awareness films will star Jeremy Clarkson and Steve McFadden cruising the streets of Hull in a Monster Truck while drinking beer and stopping to give first aid to former Olympic shot-putter Geoff Capes in the middle of a construction site, before sending him on his way with a friendly punch on the shoulder and the new campaign slogan “now don’t let me catch you dying again, you big pussy.” </p>
