Seeking 1974 PSA: "When you hate...." (Jewish Chautauqua Society?)
Berkeley Brett
Perhaps you could help me with a bit of sleuthing....
I'm trying to find an online video of a 1974 public service
announcement (PSA) titled (something like), "Hate Hurts You." Rightly
or wrongly, several people online (who are also seeking it) associate
it with the Jewish Chautauqua Society.
Lots of old PSAs are available on YouTube, but I can't seem to find
this one.
Here are a few online descriptions of this odd (and very memorable)
little video:
=== begin quoted passages (with links) ===
I have been in pursuit of an old PSA about "hate". it was only about
10 seconds long, maybe 15, and the only reason I want it is because
the commercial itself scared the daylights out of me as a kid. It was
animated, with a figure of a guy walking toward you, and the closer he
got, the angrier and the more red and distorted his face got... and
all the narrator said was, "Do you know who hate hurts? Hate hurts
YOU!" and the second he said "YOU!" the guy exploded!
I'm wanting to see this again to see what frightened me so much. I
mean, I would close my eyes and plug my ears until it was over, it
scared me so bad!

Searching for info or video of a 1960s-1970s animated US-televised
public service announcement against 'hate.' Angry man approaches
viewer, head swells and three-pronged arrows whirl in his heart. Head
swells and turns red and bursts as narrator says '[when you] hate, you
only hurt yourself.' Possibly American Heart Association? Will donate
$10 to charity chosen by first person to point me to correct online
video. Many thanks....
I remember this too! Was it the PSA referred to under 1974 on this
page [broken link]?
If so, it's also listed as "33) PSA: animated man getting angry
because he hates—Jewish Chautauqua Society" under "PSA 8.62" on this
page [ http://www.jfredmacdonald.com/macfilms/PSA%2051-66.htm ], which
is connected to a film archive. Unfortunately, the vid isn't online
there. - posted by litlnemo at 5:02 AM on August 30, 2007....

Does anyone remember the "Hate Hurts You" PSA, from maybe around 1975
or so? It scared the crap out of me (to where I would run out of the
room when it came on) so of course, I yearn to see it again and
perhaps scare my own child with it. - posted by bayliss at 7:43 AM

Holy s---, I was just thinking about this s--- the other day. I
remember this PSA from early childhood (early '70s). It was about
prejudice. It was this scary cartoon guy, all red faced, smoke coming
out of his ears, snarling, walking straight at you out of a cloud like
he was gonna come right thru the screen.
And they had this little song: who does hate hurt most, hate hurts
you!
I probably saw that thing once in my life. I think it was the middle
of the night because I was up sick or something. Still scares me just
thinking about it.

[passage below is in the comments section]:
katlin, I wish that you could take a pill to take the hate out of your
heart. I feel sorry for you. I lived in California in the late 70's
and there used to be a commercial on TV that used to have an ugly
monster walking right towards the camera with a very angry face. The
announcer said, "When you hate, who do you hurt the most? Hate hurts
YOU!" I'll never forget that commercial. katlin, think about it. Think
about how you could make the world a better place if you just took all
of the effort that you put into your hate and put it towards doing
some GOOD for the world.

Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide....
Shalom.
