I just watched the dumbest fucking anti pot commerical

[SammyBlue]

and these dickheads are really reaching.

It's in a doctor's office with some guy mumbling because he has his fist in his mouth. The doctor is translating the guy's words. It's something last this.

"Last night I smoked pot and my friends asked me to stick my fist in my mouth. I did and I can't get it out. I am at the mercy of other's will. I am an idiot."

My brain lost cells and I lost intelligence watching that!

The commercial was brought to us by www.abovetheinfluence.com.

Anyone see anything dumber?

1. I saw a good bumper sticker over the week-end

This is your brain (Picture of democratic donkey)

This is your brain on drugs (Picture of repuke elephant)

[lies and propaganda]

2. i saw that tonite!

i wanst even stoned and I still couldnt make out the meaning of that commercial.

But Im going to get there and ponder it.:smoke:

3. There was one a few years ago...

... that aired during the Super Bowl, as I recall. It had a couple fretting about their daughter, who looks about 14, while all three of them await the results of her pregnancy test.

It turned out positive, and everyone just looks sad and worried. The teen starts crying.

The tag was something like "Thanks to marijuana, you're the youngest grandparents in town."

I was at a Super Bowl party, and after that aired, everyone in the room cracked up. The women all especially laughed, and we kept saying, "C'mon! Everyone knows that's thanks to alcohol!

Dumbest anti-weed commercial ever. I'm pretty sure it was a government ad, because we were all wondering what kind of taxpayer coin was spent on a damn Super Bowl ad.

6. Yeah, as if it takes pot for teens to want to have sex

:eyes:

[yankeedem]

20. Come to think of it, every time I smoked pot

I no longer wanted to have sex. Better than salt peter.

[distantearlywarning]

16. Actually, I think it's really due to sex!

As far as I know, unprotected marijuana use can't impregnate you. ;-)

4. They should make a commercial

A guy walks into the doctors office with his head stuck up his ass.

Says to doctor, "I must be thinking clearly, the preacher said to vote for bush, and I agree."

[stop the bleeding]

12. that would happen in the real world - key word REAL

[Meldread]

5. I know. I've seen it too.

They are getting more and more retarded. I think whoever keeps coming up with the shitty commercials must be frying THEIR brain cells smoking pot, because they are slowly lapsing into mental retardation.

7. The federal government has been 'high' on the marijuana...

issue for sometime, even though much of the public, like with the Iraq war, know the real deal. "They ain't fooling nobody"

[seabeyond]

8. i saw it too, but it is being misrepresented. saying i smoked pot

cause buddies convinced me. the next day they told me to stick hand in mouth and i did. it is about doing pot cause your told, and all the other dumbs things you do cause buddies convince you. not saying you smoke pot and you stick hand in mouth, .... like people on the board have implied in the past

just clarification from reading another thread on tis and then seeing commercial myself

[Marie26]

15. Basic message?

"If all your friends jumped off of a bridge, would you do that too?" That message never worked too well on me, so I doubt this ad will work either.

[sendero]

9. Like all propoganda..

... it might work on the ignorant but the rest of us just consider the source even less credible than we already did.

Which is getting pretty hard to do.

[junkiebrewster]

10. I used to smoke pot

Then I realized that I supported terrorism, left my brother at basketball practice, got pregnant as a teen, wrecked a car, and had a fist stuck in my mouth.

I can excuse my behavior considering I learned it all from watching my dad.

[VolcanoJen]

11. lmfao!!!

Damn, if that isn't the funniest thing I've read on DU in a month!!

Thank you for the laugh!!

[Moochy]

13. And that poor kid on the trike!

Not to mention running over that poor kid on the tricycle at the McDonalds!!

(Another dumb anti-pot ad, where a bunch of stoner kids run over a kid on a trike as they pull away from a fast food joint. They film it in like 5 shots, so it's a bit like the scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where Lancelot is charging the castle, and the guards are seeing him over and over charging from the same spot. )

[obxhead]

18. lmfao

14. I just watched that last night and told my wife the same thing.

If might add. It did not make me put down the bong.

[freestyle]

17. That convinced me that the drug warriors are on drugs.

I sat there in utter disbelief, and my tax dollars probably paid for this crap. If he got his hand in his mouth, clearly he can get it out. That was just stupid beyond belief and makes anti-drug messages less effective overall. They should have stopped years ago with the fried egg.

[yankeedem]

19. That one is going to be hard to top

nt

[Initech]

21. I saw a very stupid Above The Influence commercial

Last night as a matter of fact. It shows two girls, one is talking to a guy, and says that her friend - ever since she started smoking, became deflated! At least that was the impression I got from the commercials.

I bet it's total government propaganda.

22. Has there ever been a not-dumb one? n/t
