In the sixties and early seventies, people busted for drunk and reckless driving were subjected to the notorious shock film 'Signal 30', which contained footage of real accident scenes filmed by the attending police officers.
So, one of the things we wanted for Connor was the FraggleRock box set. Michelle was a fan, I was more of a Muppet Show/Sesame Street kid when I was younger, but tonight we put it in and watched the first episode.
The Steve Jackson Games' website has, or had, something like that. The "Warehouse 23 Basement." You submitted weird artifact descriptions, the kind of thing that would be found in the giant warehouse shown at the end of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.You could also browse the items that others left.
@RenThing - I only discovered recently that the 'live action' parts of Fraggle Rock were different in each country they released the show. In the UK it was set on a lighthouse, the dude was a grizzly old veteran sea captain living out his last days on some windswept rock off the Scottish coast. I only learned it was different in the US when I was talking about it with a US friend.

I didn't know that. Good times. Yeah, my wife and I were watching the DVD a friend got us for our kid and he walked in the door of the set, wearing the same damn haircut he has in Boondock Saints. It was a weird bit of cognitive dissonance, like watching George Carlin on the Thomas the Tank-Engine show teaching kids how to be nice to each other and jiving that with the guy who did the "Do you believe in my god? No? *BANG!*" bit.
