Stupidest anti-marijuana ad?

That is one tough choice. There are a lot of completely idiotic ones out there, both on TV and in magazines.

There's the one where the two kids are high, and one picks up a gun and shoots the other kid.

Then there's the one with the black guys smoking while they're in the drive-thru, which had to be one of the racist things I've ever seen.

There's also the one where the kids are smoking pot in the bathroom, and the cop comes in and bust them, and then it says "Pot can get you busted; harmless?", which is pretty dumb it's trying to discourage pot use because it's basically stating that there wouldn't be any danger if it was legal.

There's also the ones where it shows something bad about to happen, and it says "Don't feel bad. Just (blank) you (blank) because you were getting stoned. Like the one where you see a little girl getting a pool float and getting into a pool without supervision, and it says, "Don't feel bad. Just tell your parents you weren't watching her because you were getting stoned."

Know any more worthy of the title?

Above The Influence with their typical, ignorant, senseless, unresearched, and lame-o pointless commercials..i talked to the Woman whom is the director of ATI and asked her what is the Vendetta you have against marijuana? She didn't reply, and had no excuse as to why she is so strongly against it. They have no real proof that Marijuana is harmful, and cause u to do those things that they show u on the Commercials...what about Alcohol, Meth, Crack, Cocaine, PCP, Estasy, Alcohol which causes more deaths than Marijuana which caused none so far, etc Why aren't no one saying anything about those? b'cuz they are all in league with the US Gov't to make Cannibis illegal because of the many good things it does, and it is untraceable, and they can't seem to get it taxed, and Racial Reasons, and also it fights Arthritis, cancer, swine flu, high blood pressure, depression, headache (depends which grade as some can cause headaches if inhaled improperly, u can make Tea which also can clean the Marijuana outta your system, and u can make clothes with it as well.

I don't see how that's racist though. I guess this movie is racist too, huh.

It's funny whenever we were in college and one of these commercials would come on we would start booing and immediatley pack up a bong.

LOL! You reminded me of a friend who had an idea to light up a joint in the middle of the movie theater during one of those above the influence commercial, and yell out "Who wants to get UNDER the influence?"

A boat that floats on water can also sink in it.
