Sims-style anti-teen-pregnancy ad from Belgium

This is a very clever anti-teen-pregancy ad produced by the Belgian health authority (inexplicably, it is in English). The advert uses animation in the style of The Sims to depict a teen mom being run off her feet and gradually losing her shit completely -- funny and sobering at once. 4.2 MB Quicktime Link Better Link, courtesy of David.

Update: Bill sez, "Belgium is kind of a mishmash country - you've got folks who speak French in the south, folks who speak Flemish in the middle, and folks who speak Dutch in the north. None of whom want to give up their culture, and most of whom carry centuries worth of animosity towards their countrymen. As a result, English is the official language of the country."

Update 2: RC sez, "The official languages in Belgium are Dutch, French and German. Flemish and Dutch are the same language, but often locals can hear if someone was raised in the Netherlands or in Belgium." Yeah, it sounded odd to me too -- whenever I'm in Brussels, I end up speaking French.

Update 3: Angus sez, "Dutch and Flemish are indeed the same language (give or take some idioms and vocabulary items), but even non-native speakers can quickly learn to distinguish between Dutch speakers and Flemish speakers."

Update 4: Daan sez, "I sort of object to my country being called a 'mishmash. Yes, Belgium has Dutch-speaking Flemings in the north, French-speaking Walloons in the south, and a small number of German-speaking people near the border with Germany. (Brussels is officially bilingual Dutch/French.) I also object to this: '[...], and most of whom carry centuries worth of animosity towards their countrymen.' This is patently untrue. I think this paints a wrong image of Belgium.
