I thought it was pretty funny, and a catchy way of getting the general public to know the absolute minimum for such situations. Granted, IMO, everyone should have some level of first aid training.
I got mine via work and didn't think I'd need it, but have used it a few times (including pulling someone with a heck of a split head out of a canal!). So I'll also plug that, if you get the chance, take some first aid training, many employers will put you through it

So... I approve! | Aye, it isn't quite to the level of what pro's get taught, but for a 45 sec slot, it's done in a way that makes it pretty easy to remember the very basics.
