This ad had the opposite effect on me. And I can't get the damn song out of my head! Anyone got the MP3?

It means that if your wife is starting to develop "modern" ideas and is being unsatisfactory with the housework, a little injection every morning does more good than all the domestic violence in the world.
It even slims her down a bit for you too, and no more of those awkward looks at the supermarket after she "runs into the door" again.

And she comes back from her sister's house once the cravings kick in.

Exactly. Its this sort of thinking outside the box that saves marriages, and, for that, I applaud the American Council of the Bland, or whatever organization puts out these stupid ads.

What? Every drug I ever met surrendered without a fight.

People are naturally curious, so, the "war" on drugs is thus futile.

Like any prohibition it is ineffective and a waste of taxpayer money. If it was legalised, the government would make so much more money, and yield far more control. After all, if a Big Brother system was to truly work, wouldn't they want to have mind-altering substances available to the public?

But we all know the government likes teh easy way out, that's why you can bribe officials. Ask any Republican!

This is silly. The only reason why you didn't hear of any corruption with the Democrats is because it would have been wasted money. Don't fool yourself into thinking that one party is better than the other.

I'm pretty sure that according to some studies and research groups (Sorry, no sources available at this time), they are finding out that these ads regarding Drugs are ineffective. So, I don't understand if the study and research groups are of a legitimate group, why is the government continueing to waste the money on these allegedly ineffective ads and a lot of money at that. :confused:

My appologies for assuming so.

Actually, the effects of the anti Marijuana adds were shown to have the opposite effect.

I always got a good chuckle out of the anti-drugs messages displayed on the quartermachines (those videogame-thingamabobs):

You play.

You lose.

Game over!

"Winners don't use drugs"

I mean, honestly - what's the message in that?

I always interpreted it to mean, "You lost, so most likely you're on drugs. If you really want to do what's right, re-join society and reclaim your right to hold your head high, put another quarter in the machine".

Wow, that's the funniest anti-drug commercial ever. That even tops the high dudes running down the little girl in McDonalds. I mean, seriously, I kinda want to do meth now just to spite them.

It offered no facts, no hints, no help, no substance. I was laughing at the damn commercial. You want to make people scared shitless of drugs? Make them watch Trainspotting not some campy commercial that means nothing at all.

I laughed so hard. Christ.

How could they not be ineffective? I mean, here's the gist of some of the best:

Weed kills people. Because it makes you a terrorist. Who's going to buy that? Again, by over-doing it, they're just making it trendy and funny to do weed.

Me (Taking a hit from a bong): Oh my God! THERE GOES ANOTHER HOSPITAL!
Other people (Laughing because that's pretty damn funny).

Weed! IT'S JUST ABOUT AS BAD AS DRINKING! So what? Everyone drinks. That's not exactly a world-shattering anti-drug campaign.

Weed! YOU'LL KILL PEOPLE! See the one abut terrorism.

They want to get people to stop doing meth, they should show pictures of the dead children of addicts, the toxic sludge inside that it's made of, and horror stories from cops, presented in a clear, unabashed truth. Lying, exaggerating, these things don't get through to children, especially teens. They assume everyone lies to them, why give them ammo by doing so?

The most disturbing anti-drug commercial I ever saw was just a 911 tape of a meth addict and his girlfriend lost in a blizzard. They died. Simple, tragic, and disturbing. Much more effective then this other bullshit they put on the air.

It seems to me like there's been a trend with the anti-pot commercials at least, to be more honest, which ironically shows that smoking weed isnt bad at all. Oh my god, you might lay around on your couch for six hours, the world will surely end soon... :rolleyes:

Which is, sadly, the excellent point South Park made about drugs.

Stan's father, to Stan: Stan, the problem with weed is that it will make you ok with being bored, when you should be out learning a new skill, or hobby, or just doing something new together with your friends.

I was like...well...South Park 1, Drug-Council 0.
