Commercials that piss me off
Ok, so I work at a movie theater, and in the lobby they have 2 70″ flatscreens mounted doing non-stop commercials. The computer in the back updates the cycle of commercials every week or so. So, maybe its just the fact that I see these commercials every day that I work and cannot escape them, but I can’t fucking stand those commercials for ‘a drug free America’, the anti-pot ones. The latest one, with 2 girls sittin in a living room, and one of them looks all deflated and the other complains that they never do anything anymore. In another recent one, a kid has his hand stuck in his mouth and cant get it out. You know the ones.
I wish someone would do a campaign FOR pot, or maybe, comparing alcohol to pot. Maybe one that starts out with a skinny child who has no hair talking about how he went through chemo. Then at the end he says that the only way he was able to eat was pot (documented cases where pot dimishes and/or removes nausia, chemo being one of the prime uses for this). Atleast tell people that it has SOME medical uses…
I’m not looking for something that says its perfectly fine to smoke or anything, but damn. I know too many people who think that marijuana has no good uses and should be totally illegal. Even more people think that weed is worse than alcohol, when the fact is that no one has ever overdosed on weed, and its not physically addicting.
Fucking goverment propaganda!
