Just saw a retarded PSA, is all.

These days the public service announcement has taken a dark turn toward the absurd with the Office of National Drug Control Policy's anti-marijuana campaign, a supposedly youth-oriented campaign that has come to dominate the agency's agenda. For more than a year, we have been treated to a series of ads that ran the gauntlet from the speculative, the ridiculous, to the downright dishonest. These ads are expensive and cost the taxpayers at least $2 billion.

Here are a few highlights in case you missed them.

There's the one that ran during the Super Bowl that somehow linked marijuana and pregnancy. Depending on the couple, that may be an advantage.

There is the one that shows two boys in a den apparently smoking, who find a gun that then goes off. This may have been an attempt to squeeze two topics into one commercial, since it is a more effective gun control statement than anti-marijuana statement.

There is a disturbing one where some kids at a fast food drive-thru hit a little girl on her bike with their car. What profound statement accompanies such gruesome imagery? Marijuana can slow your reaction time. That's true, but so could the food, the radio, cell phones and idiotic banter.

The most realistic one goes for a more subdued approach. In it, a boy complains of his older stoner brother whose only addiction affliction is being a coach potato.

In a country where sitting around watching TV is viewed as a God-given right, this spot doesn't so much denounce marijuana as raise the question of why it is illegal in the first place.

Actually, hand held cell phones cause more accidents than alcohol or drugs...

I like the Chapelle's show where he parodies that one.

Especially his comments to the audience afterwards.... "I must have the only show where I can show a little kid on a bike get hit by a car, and the audience laughs."Awesome.
