Another Drug Lesson From Government Dad
AboveTheInfluence, the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy’s website created during the tenure of former coke fiend George W. Bush, has just released another video from on high that talks to teens like they’re complete fucking morons. The spot, by the NYC office of mcgarrybowen (who have some really annoying new age music at their website) is titled “Human Puppet.” Ah yes, the olde subtle YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL metaphor. Previously, the clueless Office used slug and bug imagery to tsk tsk tempted teens. Here, the sound bites from the friend actors—”what is she on?”, “she’s gonna have such a headache in the morning”—are so pathetically forced. And besides, if those boys were really the girl’s friends, they would have taken pictures of her with their balls resting on her nose. |Video: Ypsilon2|

“And besides, if those boys were really the girl’s friends, they would have taken pictures of her with their balls resting on her nose.”
….Then posted them on Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, as well as sent them to everyone on their cell phone, think the kiddies call it sexting…AboveTheInfluence must’ve gotten their teen research from some douchey narc for this atrocity to have been produced. Blah.
As I recall, the usual thing would be not to make up the person’s face, but to write words on it with arrows aimed at the mouth saying things like “Dick Goes Here.”
