Some days I miss the frying pan
General April 16th, 2008
The meth commercials on TV and the sides of the buses that drive through campus scare me a little. Ads with creepy surprise almost dead people in your shower, or getting accosted in the laundromat are off-putting. I don’t appreciate the association between scummy bathroom stalls and lost virginity regardless of the drug message.
I guess that makes the ads effective, or at least successful, if creepy was their goal. I think it says a lot that we need to go to graphic scenarios to teach kids about drug resistance these days. I prefer the more mental breakfast-themed anti-drug messages from the 80s.
