Melbourne Public Transit System: 'Don't Set Fire to Your Hair' or Run in Front of a Train

Melbourne, Australia's public transit system kicked off it’s DumbWays2Die train safety campaign with a song listing, well, dumb ways to die.  Some of the examples include “Sell both your kidneys on the Internet,” “Eat a tube of super glue,” and “Use your privates as piranha bait.” The ad concludes that failing to practice train safety is the dumbest way to die in order to encourage listeners to be safe around trains.  I don’t know if this is the best use of taxpayer money, but the song is catchy.  If you rely on public transit, you might want to download the song off iTunes as a reminder.
