Good! Those ads were totally asinine. The one where the guy says he has a moral loophole because he "might be supporting terrorism" was particularly stupid.
To: Stew Padasso
The public laughed these ads off the air.

"critics who tried to cut spending dramatically. They eventually reduced it by about $25 million to about $150 million."
From $175 million to $150 million- BFD!
Congress always seems to find it easy to piss it away,
very difficult to cut.

Yep. I'm halfway supportive of the WOD, but those were dumb, dumb, dumb.

The teen pregnancy-marijuana one could have been reused as a PSA to get parents to know what their kids are up to and to talk to them about abstinence. Most people probably don't even realize it was a WOD ad.

Dopey ads do not decrease drug use.
Active parenting does.

Dopey ads do not decrease drug use. Active parenting does. Along with whacking the dealers.

"Dopey ads do not decrease drug use. Active parenting does."No truer words have been spoken.
To: Lexington Green
Baloney, that's just what YOU want to believe.
Oh yeah, for some the ads hit too close to home and thus were ridiculed, and there is always a large element that is cynical and ridiculing of everything. But the ads worked because if nothing else they engendered discussion of the issue. An ad doesn't have to produce total agreement with its message to be effective.

Dopey ads do not decrease drug use. Active parenting does. Addicts and libertarians.

They don't work because the druggies say they don't work. Marijuana is the most effective medicine for curing blindness, death, malnutrition because the druggies say it is. Making crack and heroin legal will make our problems go away because the druggies say so.
