Default Have you seen "Pete's Couch"?

The latest ONDCP propaganda piece.

The following is a transcript, followed by my comments (you can also find the PSA on youtube.com...)


Quote:
Pete's Couch Ad Transcript

(Scene opens with a guy sitting on the couch talking directly to the camera)

I smoked weed and nobody died.
I didn't get into a car accident, I didn't O.D. on heroin the next day, nothing happened.

(Shot widens to show the guy with two friends sitting on the couch)

We sat on Pete's couch for 11 hours.
Now what's going to happen on Pete's couch? Nothing.

(Shot now shows the guys on the couch in the middle of the woods with some mountain bikers riding by. Then to a basketball court. Then an ice rink.)

You have a better shot of dying out there in the real world, driving hard to the rim, ice skating with a girl. No, you wanna keep yourself alive, go over to Pete's and sit on his couch til you're 86.
Safest thing in the world.

(Shot now shows the guys on the couch outside a movie theater. The guy talking gets up from the couch and walks into the theater)

Me? I'll take my chances out there. Call me reckless.

For years, the various propaganda pieces spewing forth to excuse the heartless enslavement of our people (stoners) has told us that "weed causes violence..." "weed causes SEXUAL violence..." "weed causes sexual indiscretion..." "weed turns you to communism..." "weed funds terrorism..." "weed causes you to shoot yourself..." "weed causes you to have traffic accidents..."

And ignorant, frightened people have bought that bullshit.

But what contempt must the ONDCP have for its target audience to trot out this gem! Wherein, the hero admits that the entire family of antidrug propagandists have LIED! Not only does he think they lied, but that he has personal/direct experience that they lied. And then with speciousness and cupidy, the hero spouts more insipid lies.

I could write you all a list of successful people who smoked weed and went on to do great things... I think we all can. But that is beside the point. The point is, as a set up for lie, the ONDCP disavowed all of the lies they had said previously.

That is why they must be stopped. Not for any selfish reason. Not simply so I can smoke weed without fear of arrest. But because they have such a fundamental contempt for truth, that they are willing to create unreality to maintain their failed policy.
