You Are On Cocaine

Everyone is.

Man, there is nothing funnier to me than a made up list of examples that is supposed to be conclusive and exhaustive. "People from all walks of life are using cocaine. Doctors, lawyers, pastry chefs, midwestern architects, scuba-diving instructors, planetarium workers, vegans who sometimes eat honey, counter-culture revolutionary heroes, people who like pizza, guys whose Dungeons and Dragons characters are seventh-level chaotic good Elf Mages, the entire city of Medford. You name somebody, they're probably on cocaine. Go ahead name somebody. Prop comedians? Yup, they're on cocaine. Assistant basketball coaches? Yup. Everyone. Country line dancing enthusiasts, the host of Antiques Roadshow, mid-level archaeologists whose careers haven't turned out the way they'd envisioned them in college, observant Jews, Polynesian Islanders, street people, the guy who invented the Reebok Pump, home appliance manufacturers' customer service operators, Bill Nye the Science Guy. Those are just a few basic, everyday examples of who is doing cocaine to prove to you that you never know." (Via EverythingIsTerrible.)

I agree, I was actually pretty surprised by that....or maybe I'm surprised all the time because of all the cocaine I do on the daily!

I love how being in a park is an early indicator of a future as a crackhead. Thanks David - won't take my niece to the park anymore. You're a hero.

"No other drug can induce such uncontrollable cravings" Really? How about heroin? Talk about 'white'washing. Zing!

The first part of this commercial could easily be a Coke ad.

OH WAIT

"They're gonna be lost on crack." The zoom in on the rat's eye. "The Jesus Factor"?!! If this is real, you win Satan.

Wow, despite the fact this video lacked scientific evidence, I am completely convinced that everyone I know is now on cocaine. I don't know who was more convincing: the "amped-up" surfer dude or the guy who gave up baseball for cocaine.

OK. Lets be honest now. The clip is boring and cheesy. So what?! Like you never knew that everyone does cocaine?! Your mom did cocaine in her hippy period of life. At least mine did and my father was the one selling it to her. Things messed up, I was born, and i did tried cocaine. WE ALL DO COCAINE! What is important is that some of us know to stop before ending up in a drug treatment center.

HA! Don't know what to think! Is this ia video made in the 60s to prevent people from ending up in cocaine rehabs?!... or is it an advert for coke, that tries to appear intelligent?!... If it's the first option, it's silly because it lacks the scientific proof. If it's the second... come on! I would never give up baseball for a bottle of coke. Not even in a billion years.
