'Dickhead' ads to turn kids off pot
What's next? "Marijuana: It will shrink your wiener"? or "Marijuana: It will make you have unexplainable homsexual fantasies"? Can we get a grip on reality here??
A bold advertising campaign that aims to wipe out marijuana's reputation as a "soft" drug will hit NSW cinemas this week.
The latest phase in the state government's cannabis awareness program was launched to screen before movies throughout the school holidays....
One includes the ad-line: "Pot. It mightn't kill you. But it could turn you into a dickhead."
NSW Special Minister of State John Della Bosca said the ads were aimed squarely at young people to show cannabis was not a "soft" or "recreational" drug.
"Cannabis is not harmless," Mr Della Bosca said in a statement.
No, I'm not advocating drug use here, nor do I doubt the sincerity of the thought process behind this campaign, but I can't help but wonder if Mr. Della Bosca has lost his grip on reality. Does he REALLY think kids will respond to this sort of ad campaign? Even in Australia? No, methinks that while Mr. Della Bosca's heart may be in the right place, his brain may well have checked out for the summer. Ergo, Mr. Della Bosca has proven his worth as our latest DUMB@$$.
This is your brain. This is your brain after winning a DUMB@$$ AWARD. Any questions??
