Well, while there doesn't seem to be one individual responsible for this horrible PSA, it was produced by McDonnell Douglas, the FAA and the Air Transport Association as part of a general turbulence education and training campaign.

According to the FAA webiste, a whoping 58 people are injured EVERY YEAR by turbulence! an act of violence
Just to put that in perspective, there are more than 40,000 deaths each year in car turbulence (err, accidents) and roughly 15,000 murders a year.

It is unknown how many people are victimized each year through other drivers' not turning right on a red where it's legal.
