Do you want the unabridged list or the condensed version?

hehe, i just saw an ad last night that showed someone getting pregnant because they were being irresponsible by smoking pot. that is so ridiculous, i would like to see an ad where someone smokes pot and accidentally wins the lottery. at least they are not blaming pot on terrorism anymore.

My favorite is the one where the kids are smoking weed in one of their dad's study. The one kid finds Dad's gun in a drawer and accidentally shoots his friend. Message: Marijuana is dangerous. The fact that Dad was storing a loaded gun in an unlocked desk had nothing to do with it, it was the weed I tell ya'!

Yeah, I do like those ones where the marijuana cigarettes impregnate the young girl with their half human, half marijuana cigarette spawn, and the one where the marijuana cigarette turns into a gun and kills that guy, but my absolute FAVORITES are the ones where the highbrow intellectual guy verbally destroys his opponents with speculative arguments about how, if drugs were legalized, they would replace ice cream trucks with Crackmobiles and hamburgers would eat YOU instead.

Because whenever one of those come on, I stroke my goatee and think to myself, "Hey. That guy has a point."

I just saw that one for the first time the other day. It was like watching Baptists talk about atheism.

When they first aired the marijuana-pregnancy one during the SuperBowl my irony meter went off the charts and exploded. It was sandwiched nicely between ads for BEER and BEER, and the game itself was a virtual beer commercial.

But nobody *EVER* gets pregnant 'cuz they had a lapse in judgement while they were under the influence of BEER, right? Especially not teenagers! No way, that never happens. 'Cuz that would mean BEER was "more dangerous than we all thought", right, and we couldn't totally squeeze every advertising possibility out of it during a "family sporting event" right???

Beer is GOOD! All-American! Practically like water!!!
Not like that wretched devil weed....

(Note: the above is in no way meant to defame or slander beer but merely to point out the *hypocrisy* of the ever-selective and pathetic War on Drugs).

WHAT!!!?

You mean that tee-shirt I have that _clearly_ states,

"Beer: Helping ugly people get laid since 1897,"

is a LIE?

Oh, no!

Hey.... Maybe they mean that it will help you get laid, but not get pregnant?

Y'think?

Huginn

...that rational voices are drowned out by the numerous and loud voices of the ignorant.

...that fashion is killing art.

Uh... I'm not sure I understand this one.

Nobody has ever been able to provide me a reasonable definition of "art", not to mention "fashion". Can you?
