Signal 30 is a 1959 social guidance film made by the Highway Safety Foundation in the vicinity of Mansfield, Ohio. The film, shown widely to high school students across the country during the 1960s, was produced by Richard Wayman and narrated by Wayne Byers, and takes its name from the radio code used by the Ohio State Highway Patrol for a fatal traffic accident.

Similar to Red Asphalt, Signal 30 features graphic footage of crashed automobiles and their horrifically injured and dismembered occupants. Despite its gruesome nature, the film later won the National Safety Council Award. It was followed by two sequels, entitled Mechanized Death and Wheels of Tragedy, and inspired a whole genre of similarly gory road safety films.

In the film, ten friends, who are children with monkey faces and tails, plan on going to the park for a picnic. They all ride there on their bikes, but each one meets a different fate on their way to the park as a result of their failure to follow specific bike safety rules (like not making hand signals, not reading traffic signs, not riding with traffic, riding double, or riding on the sidewalk). One by one, each of the friends makes a mistake and suffers a horrible fate. In the end, only one of the friends (who not only followed all the bike safety rules, but is also a normal human, whose face is not shown until the very end) makes it to the park and eats all the food by himself. At the start of the PSA, Slim gave the human his picnic because it was large and the human had a rear basket. Seeing this, the others persuaded him to take their food, meaning he has it at the end. Thus, as the title says, "One got fat!" Three of the Monkeys are seen in hospital beds.

Le chimiste Albert Hofmann découvre en 1943, dans son laboratoire de recherches bâlois, une substance jusque-là inconnue. Après l’avoir expérimentée sur lui-même, il comprend qu’il a affaire à un agent extrêmement puissant qui bouleverse la perception humaine. Les psychiatres commenceront à utiliser, dans les années 1950, cette nouvelle substance appelée LSD à des fins thérapeutiques. Lorsque cette «bombe atomique du cerveau» sort des cliniques dans les années 1960, c’est une véritable révolution: le LSD semble fait pour les hippies en rupture avec la société d’abondance. Dans les années 1970, le LSD est mis sur liste noire. Aujourd’hui, les substances psychédéliques retrouvent, pour la première fois, un usage légal.
