If you thought the bullying epidemic was something only Americans were concerned about, check out this new video from commercial director Vincent Lobelle of Les Télécréateurs. Titled Harassment at School and set to Michael Andrews and Gary Jules’ cover of Tears For Fears’ “Mad World,” the eye-opening clip shows a group of mature men in the workplace terrorizing one of their peers in seemingly childish ways.
While the victim is initially only heckled by his colleagues, the intensity of their bulling soon escalates to violence. According to Madmoizelle.com, the goal of the PSA, which recently aired on France 5, is to raise awareness among adults of the problem by transposing these issues into a grown-up setting.
The message is clear: A bully is a bully, regardless of whether he’s ten years old or fifty.
“A day at work doesn’t look like this,” reads the message at the end of the clip. “What about a day at school?”
How about we take this to the next level?

Not surprised bullying knows NO age limits or boundaries. Perhaps once folks started fighting back using any means necessary, these cowards will finally learn their lesson and stop.

My friend’s son actually got sent home for school for fighting because he had stood up for himself against a bully. I remember in my day, the school looked the other way when you kicked someone’s ass because they were bullying you.
