WARHOL & GRACE JONES ASK,"IT'S 10PM. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE?"

In the 70s & 80s, this used to be a thing in New York. Local news station Channel 5 broadcast this message every night,

“It’s 10 PM, do you know where your children are…?

Great thing to ask parents, but it takes on a slightly more sinister tinge when delivered by Grace Jones & Andy Warhol. You get the feeling like they might want to add

"...tell us and we'll get them and take them to Studio!"

Watch.

Grace Jones tapes this public spot for the 10 PM news back in 1979.

Andy looks uncomfortable with his role as bad-parent shamer as he opens a 1984 broadcast of WNEW channel 5's 10 O'clock News. If you like this sort of thing, check out my blog for more old commercials and stuff, especially NYC-area: http://oldtvads.blogspot.com/
