above the influence, the new DARE/PRIDE?

[mrdevious]

OMG these guys are pissing me off. and that's saying something, because usually I avoid being hatefull, resentfull, or angry with anybody and rather look at the situation objectively. but, these people PISS ME THE FUCK OFF :cursing: . looks like they're going to become the new anti-drug propoganda group, at least the big one.


anyway, I just saw their latest commercial and there's this girl sitting there with another girl on the couch, and she's all deflated. this guys in the room and asks her some questions but the deflated girl doesn't say a thing, and her friend says "this is what she's like now that she smokes pot. She can't answer you, all she can do is sit there and not move. we used to have so much fun together, but now this is all she can do". might I just say FUCK YOU LYING ASSHOLES. I mean come on, anti-weed propoganda is one thing but actually saying you'll become catatonic and unable to respond, fuck right off.

and to give this thread a point other than venting (though damn I need a good vent), I'd just like to say if anybody has a friend good at programming, capable of creating web programs of any kind, particularily those that could maliciously destroy a website... a good, well designed virus that could really wreck a website, or at least edit it...... well for legal reasons I'll just let you fill in the blanks. btw, here's some wonderfull websites, on an unrelated issue of course.

Where's the Pro-Pot commercials? There's enough information out there, people need to know what Pot is.

[o0gettin high0o]

no shit it makes me so mad that evryone that hates pot knows nothing on the subject what so ever. they just believe what others tell them and dont seek out the truth for them selves. so yea pro herb commercails

[daZenfmeister]

seriously I'm thinking about funding a pro-pot comercial on my local access channel. it would be sweet. anyone wanna chip in?

[CocaCola]

Oh man... don't be pissed. It's the most hilarious shit I've seen. "He said, my friends told me to smoke some pot yesterday... then the next day they told me to put my whole hand in my mouth... boy am I an idiot". Yes, you are... if you try and put your whole hand in your mouth, you're an idiot, yes.

And what about that "Flat" commercial? "What's wrong with your friend?" "Well, this is what we do now... ever since she smoked pot, she's become a puddle of goo. It's kinda boring hanging around with my melted friend". :(

God, I haven't seen something so disturbing since Come To Daddy... is that all they do now? Insted of giving facts they just try and scare you with imagery? Holy christ.

[STDzRus]

I am above the influence.

And I'm not saying this to be funny, I am seriously above the influence.

You can be above the influence if you smoke pot?

ABOVE THE INFLUENCE means you don't let other people choose who you are. And I don't.

[jahjahjahjah]

above the influence fuck them

[blastfast]

I'm above them hahahaha. i win.

[jahjahjahjah]

i dont care what there message is the fact is there against sweet mary jane so fuck em and get the hell of my TV screen.

[jahjahjahjah]

Dare is the worst of em all, my daughter will never participate in Dare.

[NightProwler]

warning: not smoking pot might make you boring, un-fun, and stressed out.

[Doctor Zorders]

I agree with the majority here, the commercial exec's are just trying to make these commercials edgier, to appeal to gen x or gen y or gen whatever the hell...I like the one where the message is "there comes a time you realize you're not a kid anymore, that you have to make decisions..." As if only kids smoke pot? Yeah, I made a decision, to smoke another bowl. (And at 18, the state recognizes me as an adult!)


"The next time you drink window cleaner, I'm going to leave it in you!"

"It smells like gasoline up here mother..."
--"Everything in Mexico smells like gas!"

(sorry, just watched drop dead gorgeous for the 80th time)

[mrdevious]

Oh man... don't be pissed. It's the most hilarious shit I've seen. "He said, my friends told me to smoke some pot yesterday... then the next day they told me to put my whole hand in my mouth... boy am I an idiot". Yes, you are... if you try and put your whole hand in your mouth, you're an idiot, yes.

ah shit, I just melted into a puddle of goo, I guess they were right ;) . lol, actually I just finished another day of hard construction work, somehow my pot infested brain is still capable of waking my ass up at 6:00 in the morning and working hard all day.

btw. what's this "come to daddy" commercial you were talking about?

[Blowboy]

Man thats some funny shit on the above the influence site. There are these little guys in "comebacks" that are so
cliché
what a cool word...

[Blowboy]

- I'm using steroids to bulk up for the big game. You should try it.

- Nah! That stuff makes your testicles shrink up.

:D
Is that true?

[KottonMouthSara]

yeh i heard it dries up your sperm...then again, so do tight trousers which i am extreeeeeeemly against anyone wearing tight trousers!!

[Whos Carl]

When I read that stuff I laugh my head if that is all they have against cannabis. I mean come on 75% of us will use cocaine that is absolute bullshit i know loads of pot users and none have used it. O how I laughed when I read "uncontrollable feelings of agression" for fuck sake I think if I tried to have a fight with my grandparents while stoned they would kick the shit out of me.

[Whos Carl]

The icing on the cake is cannabis growers are killing the rainforest omg these people should be locked away if they believe that.

Thats so true...makes me so angry when people say, after you get bored of weed you'll be going onto Heroin...I think most of us are educated enough to understand that weed and heroin are nothing alike....

Not sure about you, but I dont think i'll ever get bored of weed and move onto heroin...I mean its a completely different high...not that im certain of this..but its a pretty fair guess.

God, I mean, weed is prescribed to oldies to help them with arthiritis...For fucks sake, i wish people would try it before they shit stir!

[Smokin EnDo]

I personally love these commercials because i like the see what these corporate asshole think of in their spare time, it's actually funny how they think of this propoganda i could never imagine. I also think its the funniest shit when that one chick can't answer for herself it crack me the fuck up, after a few blunts its even better :stoned: . It also give me something to say right before taking a huge ass bong rip. You have to laugh at the thought of all the mothers and kids at home when these commercials come on saying to themselves "wow, thank god my child doesn't smoke pot or he'll be in a coma or have to give someone power of attorney for the rest of his life because weed screwed up his brain." People like to hear things that make them happy, do you honestly think if D.A.R.E. went around saying how harmless weed is do you think anyone would listen? Just laugh it off don't be pissed people with no say for themselves or the "followers" ,kind of ironic because people usually call stoners the "followers" or soceity yet they believe and listen to every piece of bullshit the government serves them on a silver platter, well sorry for ranting and happy thanksgiving :D

would you go as far as to classify that ager as "Uncontrollable feelings of agression"? hmmm

Must have been some good shit

If you have Windows Media, search on the guide page for Come To daddy... it's a music video for the song by Aphex Twin. Be sure to blaze before you watch it... and watch it in the dark!!

[daves19]

i just send a Comeback to them, asking them if they were making good money by telling such lies, i am anxious to see what is their answer...be aware that ia was extremely polite in this question i asked them...

[Whos Carl]

They make the claim about cannabis users becoming heroine addicts by asking heroine addicts if they have ever used cannabis If they say yes it MUST have been cannabis that got them onto heroine.

[daves19]

Hey guys, we should try to find a way to counter this propaganda, i mean like a march with cartboard saying " tired of lies" ( btw this is just a quick exemple) i don't know where to start as i am not a leader of man, but i am pretty sure there are some lil geniuses on this site...so give ideas...

[AcidFreak]

"I am not a leader of man"

:D :D :D

[daves19]

"I am not a leader of man"

:D :D :D


Hehe you know that song or i just said an expression that i am not aware of the meaning?? (as i am french and sometimes you know...)
