A new anti-drug commerical!

Because you thought "marijuana makes you pregnant" was as stupid as they get.

The commercial opens with a shot of a backyard with a swimming pool with one of those floating chair dealies. The yard is empty. A little girl, maybe 3 years old, wanders out to the pool and tries to climb onto the float.

Voice over: "Just tell her parents you weren't watching her because you were too busy getting stoned." Fade to title card which says: "Responsibility: Your anti-drug".

If I need to explain why this is a moronic argument, you're on the wrong board.

Even stoners know better than to get stoned when you're supposed to be watching your baby sister.

I'm sure there are stoners who do that. I'm equally sure there are drunks who do that, Everquest addicts who do that, people too busy watching porn on their computer who do that, people who just aren't paying attention who do that. There's a term for these people: morons. How every other type of idocy that lets unsupervised kids drown in the pool is somehow better than smoking marijuana is beyond me, but I'm guessing the commercial's creators assume nobody stops to ask that question.

Just typical War on Drugs bullshit propaganda. Harry Anslinger could've written that commercial.

Just tell your parents you weren't watching her because you were too busy following stock quotes on the CNN-FN news ticker.

Responsibility. The anti-investment.

Hell, you should give the little girl some, that'll calm her hyperactive little ass down!

Just tell your parents you weren't watching her because you were too busy slapping the salami to Ron Jeremy porn.

Responsibility. The anti-wanking campaign.

Friday night when the kids run unsupervised through the restuarant, I yell "No running!" I get told to calm down their just kids, one trips and falls into the stairway (floor and stairs are concrete), Parent's drink more beer, despite the 14+ with/out parental supervision warnings an 8 year old bruises her finger's palying Air Hockey, we get another complaint about having Tekken (despite the 14+ sticker, gee parent's should watch for things), no one has yet barrowed the Dominoes, Uno, Monopoly, etc.

Parent's drink more beer & wine
It's 8 pm, curfew time, company president comes up and says ignore the curfew, brings back more beer for his wife and himself, their three kids are out playing WWE (not on a game, one of them just did a top rope dive from one of the tables at his brother)

Typical friday night....

They have the same kind of ad on the radio here in Chicago except you hear the little girl crumpling paper and telling her dad on the phone that shes going to make a fireand that the babysitters asleep. then it tells you not to worry and tell them than you were stoned.
Wow, the stupidity.

Post by **weemadando** » 2003-12-02 09:27am

My version of the social responsibility ad...

*Fade in, boy playing Everquest, he's 13 if he's a day, on another monitor there's E-bay. Somewhere in the background a child can be heard crying*

"SHUT UP YOU LITTLE BITCH! I can't hear Days Of Our Lives over your fucking racket!"

*crying continues*

*A phone rings*

"Get off your computer and get that would you!"

*Boy gets off and answers phone.*

"Hello?"

"Hi, its dad, I'm just calling to let you know that I'm running off with my secretary."

"I figured as much after you told mum to 'get fucked' when she caught you doing the naughty with her on the kitchen table."

"Right... Well, nice knowing you son."

*Boy hangs up phone*

"Was that my dealer?"

"No mum. It was dad. He's leaving."

"Oh well. I guess I'll just spend your college fund on continuing supporting my diet pill, valium and daytime television habit."

"OK mum."

"Oh and your sister needs changing. She won't fucking shut up."

"OK."

*Boy goes and begins changing diaper on sister, cut to image of EBay on monitor where several hundred dollars worth of bidding have taken place on an item for sale, pan down to a shopping list with prices - items include diapers, baby food and other such essentials for a household with a small child.*

*Boy picks up baby girl and brings her into his room and lays her down on his bed as he continues farming items in Everquest in order to support his family*

*Fade to black, bring up text: Responsibility - For everything.*

Because all the other types of idiocy are legal, and marijuana is illegal and therefore evil. Mmmmkay?

Tell your parents you fell asleep. They'll understand.

Just tell your parents it doesn't matter.

Well, it DOES make a good point that if you're going to smoke weed, then do it resposibly. Of course, that goes for anything.

I think that's a little too far. She's only 3 after all...

I have seen a variant of this commercial, where a cute 7 year old black girl, sits down on a curb in front of school, (in a war zone style neighborhood, complete with obligatory multiple sirens in the backgroud, emphasising the danger of the place) and waits patiently, while the narrator says, "Just tell her you forgot to pick her up after school because you were stoned. She'll understand.
[Dramatic pause, zoom in on child]
Responsability, the anti drug."

I'm really shocked at how propagandized you people are.

Marihuana is very dangerous, and is directly responsible for so much of the moral decay we must live with everyday of our lives.

Of course, drowned babies, teenage pregnancy, pre-marital sex, and homosexuality are all comedic subjects for YOU, but it's your moral relativism and secular "logic" that allow these horrors to continue, and they are all fueled by MARIHUANA!

Since when does it make that point? It simply states that you shouldn't smoke marijuana at all because apparently it's impossible to smoke weed responsibly. That's what these fuckwits are telling you.

If it was telling people to enjoy weed responsibly, you'd have weed commercials in the style of Smirnoff Ice commercials, where a guy slices the tires on his car before he starts drinking.

Admiral Valdemar · Post by **Admiral Valdemar** » 2003-12-02 07:36pm

The guy below me does neither of that. He fucking smokes all day long and I can smell the stuff when I pass that flat below me. If he has the window open, I can smell it in my room.

The guy does religious studies, hasn't gone to any lectures this term that his mates know of, and when my flat went around to tell him to turn off his music playing at full blast at 0300 in the morning, he wasn't in though his floor was covered with, well, remains of watermelons(!).

An obvious target for some divine justice if ever there was one. Unfortunately, he doesn't crack me up like these ads, he just makes me fucking mad.
