Just Say No to New Anti-Drug PSA’s
February 1st, 2007 by Alex
Ever watched an Anti-Drug PSA and thought, “What the hell are these guys smoking?”
You’re not the only one.
Studies have shown that these anti-drug commercials are not only completely unsuccessful but also a waste of millions of dollars in taxpayer’s money.
So, after years worth of supporting research into this topic, you’d think the government would change it’s tactics. Well, it has … kind of.
The newest stream of PSA’s have gone from high-budget, live action spots to badly drawn, poorly thought out excuses for anti-drug commercials. I mean, these things get more ridiculous every time I see them, yet somehow they keep getting made.
Today, we’re going to look at the latest batch of garbage from Above the Influence - the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s attempt at influencing today’s teens into going along with America’s outdated anti-drug program.
Read on to see the commercial mayhem.
