(I'm surprised no one made an article about this PSA. It's kinda like "The Works" where it's 10 second version is found, but the original 30 second version is lost.)

The ad was infamous for it's 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 voiceover and music track, which reportedly terrified children, so in December 1982, The Jewish Chautauqua Society rereleased a shorter version of the PSA, with a less scary voiceover and music track.

In the 1982 Version, the ad begins with the already angry cartoon man walking towards the screen. Different music and voiceover can be heard. The voiceover now says, "When you hate, Who do you hurt the most? And like the original, once the man explodes, the voiceover says, "Hate hurts YOU!" but in a less frightening voice.
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.

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 it's 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-scarier 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. Along with eerie music came a sinister voice saying "Hate... is an acid that corrodes... a poison that erodes... Your body, mind and soul... So 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 yelling, "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.
