Patsy: The Snapple Lady Of Drugs

The Partnership For A Drug Free America has a new spokesthing: Patsy, the mom who tries her best but, well, just can't seem to talk to her kids about drugs in a way that works. The videos are shot as if they were made by Patsy, a sort of Michael Scott of moms, and posted as if they were her own vlogs:

I watched all the videos on Patsy's YouTube channel, and what I learned was that there actually might not be a cool way to talk to teens about drugs. I just want everyone in the world to see that video, so when I yell "Do you know what weed is?" in the general direction of one of my friends taking a shower, they'll get the joke.

In last Sunday's NY Times, the Partnership for a Drug Free America took out a full page ad saying that this woman's efforts are misguided, and not to follow her advice on how to talk to kids about drugs. Now I see why.
