The “don’t do drugs” campaign has always been a difficult one to get kids to pay attention to because the word “don’t” is so similar to the word “do.” That’s really the only problem with it. It’s not the obvious appeal of drugs or the crushing impossibility of life. It’s just linguistic. “I thought you said DO do drugs!” is something we’ve all probably heard most tweens SEXT at some point, high out of their fucking minds. I do appreciate that this video includes both black children and white children, because NO ONE IS SAFE FROM THE DRUGS. But I also appreciate that they left the “rapping” to the black child. Can you imagine one of the white children doing a terrible “rap”? STALE! Kids are smart*. They can smell a phony from a Holden Caufield away. Anyway, just a Wednesday morning friendly reminder, you guys: don’t do drugs. YOU MIGHT FLY OUT THE WINDOW.
*No they’re not.

Keep fighting the good fight Gabe.
Stupid kids won’t listen but you gotta keep runnin’ up that hill.
Re: flying out a window,
Can I get an animated .gif of this:

The actress flying out the window was Academy Award winner Helen Hunt.
I think the US would genuinely be a ‘force for good’ if they had only discovered the age old art of reverse psychology.
That’s why I think it should be called “Why Do You Caption It?”
You know, this video would be really great if we had some peyote.
Not so fast there baby…….oh wait
Yeah but, you know… drugs are fun.
Only this book could ever teach me to say no to drugs:

God I hate my lack of ability to post pictures.
Here you go:
Thank you!
All you have to do is post the link, with no HTML tags. Also, make sure the link ends in .jpg and isn’t so long that it gets broken in two. Otherwise, everything should work.
Stomp two times to say no to drugs, stomp one time to say yes.
What if Latawnya gets Lockjaw?
I’m sorry to be such a stickler, but shouldn’t that be “LATAWNYA the Naughty Horse Learns to Say ‘Neigh’ to Drugs?”
Stop trying to stirrup trouble.
I’m going to be horse from laughing.
Oh, quit your equining.
Saddle be quite enough out of you, sir.
It behooves me to thank you all for filling my LOLk for the day.
Mr. Green Shirt there is really not pulling his weight. I seriously doubt his commitment to Sparkle Motion.
His emphatic hand gesture at 1:29 is pathetic. He needs to brush up on his Mariah.
If they had gone with “Do do drugs,” it would have worked. The kids would have been too busy laughing because you said “doodoo” to buy all that meth on the playground.
(And also, yes: I am sitting in my office, a thirty-five year old, married attorney, and laughing uncontrollably)
‘Damn kids! Get off my blog’ – Mans
You can get some doodoo drugs too tho ALLEGEDLY
Get back to me in a few weeks after your Jenkem trip, and let me know how it went.
It’s so hard to remember what you said about whether or not I should do drugs when I’m this high.
Remember kids – never mix drugs and double denim. That’s a recipe for disaster.
Okay, I’ll go ahead and finish up here. Double denim, what does it mean? Thread over.
I did drugs once, got addicted caffeine pills. Contrary to popular belief, I was not particularly excited about it.
Sorry to keep you waiting, facetaco. Jessie Spano is here for you.
Saved by the gif.
This is my favorite episode, right behind the episode where Zack and Kelly break up while dressed as Romeo and Juliet while Slater and Jessie “sing” “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You.”
How can you decide? They’re all tied for 1st place!
But my binky soaked in ether is still ok, right? RIGHT?
Wait…this story line about this girl makes no sense at all. Come on Scorcese, we’ve seen better.
I can see why you think that they gave the “rap” to that one kid because he’s black, but consider the possibility that he was the only one who showed up that day wearing a Rap Hat.
You’d think it would be hard to wear both Headphones AND a Rap Hat, but he pulled it off because he’s a professional.
Love the black kid’s Jam Master Jay costume.
The only real problem I have with this is that ‘help’ in no way rhymes with ‘face.’ LAZY WRITING, M.C. Token Minority.
god that boombox is fantastic, i miss those boomboxes
Odd that YOU would like a BoomBox, what with your racism, and the casual association with inner city youth that a boombox holds. Etc
Merle Haggard is a racist?
Nice hat!
ZOMG
I have been Struggling to Get a Beat HOT ENOUGH For the VGum Jam Band Song Slam or whatever,

Moving to a major label hasn’t really benefited Chromeo’s sound too much, I don’t think.
uh the chorus reminds of pretty much every chorus in every Dahv song. (Dahv anyone? 2007? http://www.myspace.com/dahv) And Dahv songs remind me of doing so much drugs. (oh btw, has anyone seen my moral compass? I think I lost around 2007?)
We should really consider making Michael Pollan the Drug Czar:
“Do drugs. Not too much. Mostly pot.”
And grow your own. It’s better for you.
That kid in the green shirt looks about as uncomfortable as a white person can get short of moving to a nicer neighborhood.
he’s just pissed off because the rap star is not sharing the mic with him like he’s supposed to. the rap star has pulled a favorite karaoke tactic of mine. The old: ask-someone-if-they-want-to-sing-a-song-with-you-and-then-hog-the-mic-while-you-pretend-to-share-and-make-them-further-hate-their-life. Works every time.
Fake. And occasionally gay.
I wish I could give a care about kids and drugs and the problems with combining the two, but even as an educator, I can’t. Mostly because the kids that always get busted for pot at my school (and it’s always pot rather than anything harder at my school) are sweet kids and great students. Meanwhile, the jackasses who are strung out on legal drugs just keep on keepin’ on. Not to mention the ones that fill up their Nalgene water bottles with vodka and such. Big Sigh.
I just realized how that first part sounds–I give a big care about the kids, just not what they’re doing with their free time (as long as they’re safe and well-cared-for).
It’s really annoying when drug dealers call my house phone soliciting their wares, especially at dinner time.
That’s your drug dealer:
I don’t think it’s the dealer as much as it’s the drugs actually calling her on the phone.
Her: Hello.
Peyote: It’s me again.
Her: What do you want now?
Peyote: Do me.
Her: No.
Q: I wonder where they re anyways?
A: Doing drugs.
That’s where I thought the ad was going!
“If you don’t think drugs have done good things for us, then take all of your records, tapes and CD’s and burn them. ”
-Bill Hicks, a man who never heard this amazing song
I guess that’s where ladies go to the beach now that the machines have scorched the sky. Seriously, why so dark? Also, I want that bathing suit. I was like, “Oh yeah, this is the music people listen to at the beach, whatev” then I heard it and actually grooved a little.
I really love the end of this video. I can relate to it, you know? It’s at the point where I don’t even bother trying to sleep while I’m listening to my anti-drug music on the beach, because as soon as I start to nod off, there’s some guy shoving a bottle in my face. It’s like, come on! You don’t even have a chaser for that! Let me get back to my dream about singing kids, ok?
So she got arrested for saying no to that cop’s offer of drugs?
It looked like more of a solicitation for sex, you know how those lady cops are, always wanting to shake down the gutter snipes for sexual favors.
In my experience when a sleazy stranger comes up to me and asks me if I wanna get high, I usually say “no no no na-no no noooo” because I don’t want to be raped.
When I was in Jr. High, my teacher used to make us watch these after school special type videos with this guy who was a motivational speaker and he would go to different schools and hold focus groups with the students about “teen issues.” Then he would give a speech/do stand up comedy for the whole school, and he would do this horribly offensive impression of a kid with mental retardation. He was really tall and had curly brown hair, and was generally strange looking. Anyway, my point is…do any of you know what I am talking and can you remember this guy’s name??? I have asked all my friends who were in my class and they seem to have blocked this from there memories all together.
Yep, she’s all hepped up on goofballs.
I don’t know that guy but my school hired a whole troupe that played songs and did skits about not doing drugs, and they all dressed in primary colors. That night, they came back to play a “rock concert” in our auditorium. My friend Paul made a sign that said “WE LOVE YOU JOEL” because the guitarist was named Joel, and he stood in the front and held that sign over his head with a giant stupid grin on his face the whole show. Jesus that was awesome. Joel grew increasingly uncomfortable as the concert wore on. Oh, and it was revealed bit by bit, during the concert, that they were secretly a Christian band. You couldn’t make religion part of the daytime show at a public school, but the extracurricular concert ended with a muted plea for us to consider accepting Jesus as the Way.
We had an undercover christian speaker one time, but ours was talking about sex and how it’s better when you’re married. We didn’t get a sweet concert out of it, though. Man, school was lame.
Cool story, bro.
I know exactly what you are talking about, I think it was a PBS series/special? I can’t remember his name either! The best/worst part is I subbed at a Jr. High a few years ago, and they were still showing this dude’s videos. I subbed again at that same Jr. High on 4/20, and it was… not awesome. (But actually kind of awesome, because some kids were too high to be assholes).
I really like the new Yeasayer single!
FUCK THA PO-LICE!!
Seriously, if I was at the beach and that song came on the stereo as depicted, I don’t care how asleep I was Id either wake up or sleep walk, pick it up, and throw it in the ocean. Then proceed to do drugs.
