right so, i saw the latest ad campaign they launched the other day after my little brother had mentioned seeing an ad on TV about swapping brains. sounded pretty gross. and then i saw it. talk about scare mongering. i'm all for free information, but the current tactics being deployed by the government are just shocking.

are such ads suitable for TV? i mean, i can't even begin to think what my brother actually understand of the ad
and are such ads effective in combatting drug use? personally, i think not, all it does is contort views which, in the long run, i think is worse

views, anyone?

well by definition, you may call me a pothead but i'm confident my brain is anything but fried.
did you it make you wonder whether or not it was worth sparking up?

If you look at the previous adverts they all seem to go in the same way all pointing out the flaws that come with drugs. However when a kid is watching something on the Disney Channel you don't expect something as graphic as that to appear on screen, I think they need to sort out when they play it (timings etc.)

it should be post watershed and it needn't be so graphic, i mean the guys face is pretty strange as it is and when he turns around and you see the back of his head, ew.

Remember the ads about smoking and they showed fat being squeezed out of an artery? That fairly shocked a few people.

If you want to see shocking ads, Northern Ireland is notorious for shocking ads for road safety, speeding, drinking driving, drugs etc.
