Jeepers. Some of those are pretty messed up. Especially that one included in the related videos bit, the "Drug abuse is the new slavery". Jeepers cripes. I'm tempted to ask what they were smoking when they thought that was a good idea, but then I remember, you know, Anti-Drug PSA and all that.
I'm a little confused by Captain Lou's statement though that "if you do drugs you go to hell before you die". I guess it makes sense, but it still sounds like one of those things that sounds fine unless you think about it and then it gets kind of confusing.
Did David Lynch direct the Pee-Wee's Crack Adventure PSA?

ReplyDeleteOk, why of all people, Paul Reubens as Pee Wee Herman? I know he was popular then, but what the heck?
ReplyDeleteThe Pee Wee one scares me most of all. I think it's that ominous music, it makes me think a monster is going to jump out of his skull or something.
ReplyDeleteI think that VD ad may just be the greatest ad in existence.
ReplyDeleteVD is for everybody? Why did no-one tell me this before now?
ReplyDeleteValerie, how did you miss this one?????

That Hanna-Barbera one...now I know where they got the design for The Beyonder. Secret Wars indeed.

He echos your fear of the Herman.
Ah Booster always the paragon of model behavior
