Nightmare Fuel to frighten children into staying away from drugs, not speaking to strangers, and of course making sure they don't have unprotected sex.
One link on the page led to this video, entitled "One Got Fat", which is supposed to be a 1963 movie on Bicycle safety:

That you should never ... NEVER read TV Tropes from work.... [shudder]
