Hate Hurts You was a 30-second anti-hate PSA by the Jewish Chautauqua Society. It first aired around 1974.[1]
The ad was infamous for its terrifying nature with the depiction of an angry man getting closer to the screen as his head swells and turns red, along with a haunting voice-over and music, which reportedly terrified children. So 8 years later, in 1982, The Jewish Chautauqua Society aired a shorter, less scary version of the PSA.
Description
In the ad, an angry cartoon man walks from a distance towards the screen. As he gets closer, his head grows bigger and redder with each step. The animation is accompanied by a minor-key folk rock song in which a male voice sings "Hate... is a poison that corrodes... an acid that erodes... Your body, mind and soul... And when you hate... Who do you hurt the most? Hate hurts you..." The cartoon man's head then explodes once he gets extremely close, which is accompanied by the voice-over repeating the lyric "HATE HURTS YOU!"
The 1982 version of the ad is pretty much the same as the above, except for that it had different music and a different voice-over that simply said "When you hate, Who do you hurt the most?..." and like the original, once the man's head explodes, the voice-over says "Hate hurts YOU!", but in a less-frightening tone of voice.
Availability
Due to audiences finding the PSA unsettling, it was shortly pulled off the air, although it's been claimed it might have re-aired up until the early 1980s according to the comments of the ad's YouTube upload.
On March 10th of 2023, Reddit user Delchi came forth on the Lost Media Wiki subreddit claiming they were close to receiving what they were sure was a copy of the 30-second version of the PSA.[2] Later, on April 2nd, Delchi claimed they had successfully acquired a copy of the longer version, and would release it online after they converted the 16mm reel to digital formats. This wouldn't come to fruition until Delchi would post the full 30-second version of the PSA on August 10th, 2023[3].
