ok so ive gotten back into watching tv occasionally (like once a week) and ive noticed that theres this new trend. well its not new, but its evolved a bit. im talking about anti drug commercials. mainly the "above the influence" ones. now before you get off on the wrong foot "but you focker that s***s for real dawg we need that on t.v. so our kids aint f***in tokin up afta school and sheeeee" trust me, im all for taking drugs out of society (except alcohol, you gotta endure pain to drink like i do).
anyway
now in the beginning they were naturally a bit positive. then gradually they got a little weird, like all things do with time. but the degeneration has surpassed my expectations. i just saw one that made me think quite the opposite of the message it was trying to convey.
heres the scenario: teen girl walking the kitchen, opens the fridge and gets something to drink. a voice is heard saying "lindsay" then THE f***ING *DOG* jumps up on the counter and is TALKING TO THE GIRL. what the holy blue mother of f***ing pearl are we trying to tell kids!? jesus god damned christ! i seem to remember a part from the movie Roadtrip where an elderly man got high and his dog talked to him on the porch! so basically what this commercial did was A: backfire on its self B: tell kids "if you smoke s*** you will see this" and C: no parents or authority of another kind was in the situation, leaving only the dog for guidance to the teen. we all know f***ing teenagers are dumb as hell no matter their i.q. and will do stupid s*** without being told whats going to happen, and even then they might do it. i feel deeply for parents who see these commercials because i know theyre sitting there thinking the exact same thing.
am i the only one that thinks s***s getting out of hand? whats next? a f***ing circus of ticks and leeches singing Silent Night to a 3 year old who is about to shoot up? great message to children. f*** above the influence, they are the influence, infact i have a working theory that they have more of an influence than anything else. s*** watching stuff like a talking dog makes me wanna get f***ed up on crack and heroine.
more harm than good

| I agree for the most part. If you get teenagers to think that they'll see crazy things when they do drugs then you're going to get teenagers to try it out. I remember DARE in school and I remember the officer saying something about seeing all kinds of crazy things when you smoke pot. You do?!?! I'm gonna go try it ASAP! Anyway, the Arizona Meth Project seems to have the right idea in scaring the hell out of people with their commercials with the girl in the shower, the guy in the laundromat and the "Just Once" commercial. |

You don't need crack and heroine to see talking animals. Haven't you ever watched the commercial for Rozerem . . . the one with the talking Beaver and Abraham Lincoln playing chess? As a doctor, I tend to hate the DTC (direct to consumer) marketing pitches of the pharmaceutical companies (Ask your Doctor about mycoxafaillin . . .). But still, that is one of the more bizarre and funny commercials.
