Pot Ads
by markiep

These ads are far superior to the crap that we have seen in the past, like the "prelude to a date rape" scenario in the spot where the barely teen-age boy is trying to get a girl high in order to feel her up. I imagine there have been a few cases of date rape that have pot as a contributing factor, but these are dwarfed but the number of rapes linked to alcohol. Offensive.

These ads are just silly, not offensive. Although I did think that the talking dog must have been the result of something a lot stronger than pot. What a judgmental little runt. Having the faces of disapproval be non-human (dog, alien) is clever, but it just seems to make it abstract to me. It just shows how difficult it is to make a reality-based anti-marijuana ad. Maybe there is a reason it is difficult. There are easier targets out there, like the many substances that are seriously damaging to individuals and society.

You think?
