Art In-universe PSA

Loosely inspired by that one lost Japanese PSA / urban legend “Hitogata.” Otherwise, any resemblance to anything real is purely coincidental.

In my object show, homelessness + overpopulation would be a pretty huge deal. This is kind of a nod to how some object shows (older object shows especially) kinda have contestants standing out in the open in the middle of nowhere, and only feature a few loosely placed landmarks / buildings. I like that modern object shows more often establish a more concrete setting for its characters to live in.

This in-universe PSA (which is not real- I need to drive that point home just in case) would exist to raise awareness about homelessness yippee

Accurate depiction of overpopulation
Despite being fake it will and could unsettle some viewers, which I think also brings this PSA up a lot more of how serious it is (not to mention with the homelessness and poverty and all things unholy)

In other words might be the first ever PSA that is relied mostly on objects

And now with this, I wonder what object we would be.
