Commercial Tells You Where Your Hands Have Been

la_county_hands.jpg

When we shake someone’s hand, we often wonder where that hand has been before. A new commercial from the LA County Department of Health answers that question in an effort to prevent the spread of the flu. We’re told washing one’s hands is the number one method of curtailing the spread of germs. We are so with Howard Stern on this one. If we didn’t feel like a jerk refusing to shake someone’s hand, we never would again. The ad is the work of DDB and Curious Pictures.
