Yes, it is real.
I want to know where they got that great PSA music.

I want to know who the morons are who are commenting on it.

You’ll find this flick and more at the [Prelinger](http://www.archive.org/details/prelinger) archives section of [www.archive.org](http://www.archive.org). There you’ll see those old Coronet instructional films (e.g., How To Be Popular, Am I Trustworthy, Act Your Age, etc…), and many more, including the famous “Duck and Cover” film concerning what to do in a nuclear attack. It’s a great way to waste an afternoon.

_sigh_ I miss the days when hitching a ride got you a ride home, or better yet - a fishing trip with A Gay!
These days you’re lucky if all of your bones make it home, albeit in a box.

I second the Prelinger archive as a time-waster. In fact, I interviewed Rick Prelinger over the summer for a class. Interesting guy.

The way I see it - Jimmy was already gay with mixed feelings about himself because his parents and teachers called it a disease. It was a good thing that nice gay man picked him up and took him fishing (with a rifle!), or he would have been seriously screwed up for the rest of his life.

OK, that first kid was left-handed. That’s pretty much asking for it.

Darn it, [my thread linking to this at archive.org](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=320578) sank like a particularly smooth stone.
Jaw-dropping film, though.

About ten percent of the population is supposed to be gay. About 10 percent is left handed. Interesting how god made it so easy to pick them out.

“What Jimmy didn’t know was Ralph was sick, a sickness that was not visible like smallpox, but no less dangerous and contagious. A sickness of the mind. You see, Ralph was a homosexual.”
“Finally Jimmy reported it to his parents and they reported it to the juvenile authorities. Ralph was arrested and Jimmy was released on probation.”
Ah, good times.

Yeah, why did _Jimmy_ get probation? Was it a crime to be molested back then? 😕
I like how the movie implied that it’s OK for young girls to get into cars, since all pedophiles are gay.

Well, sodomy was probably a crime. Jimmy likely got probation because of his age.

Oh dear lord, that was funny. You know what’s sad? Had they left out all the “he’s a homosexual”, it would have simply been a rather benign film about the dangers of accepting a ride from a stranger.
Of course, then it wouldn’t have been so funny.

What a terrible video. If you’re gonna warn kids about the homosex, the bad guy shouldn’t have been called “Ralph.”
It should have been “Father Ralph.”
