The link below has the the sniffing inhalants PSA. The Duffel Blog is spot-on with the irony.
Public Affairs Baffled After Anti-Drug Advertisement Actually Works
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Officials at the Pentagon are shocked that a public service announcement (PSA) warning against using spice and other designer drugs played on the Armed Forces Network has apparently lowered drug use among service members.
“We expected our PSA to have no effect at all,” said Colonel David Rikers. “First, nobody watches AFN. If they do they don’t watch the commercials. Second, we thought our ad was so stupid it would increase drug use. We are overjoyed to find out this is not the case.”
The thirty second spot shows clips from Hamlet dubbed over with new, stupid lines. Hamlet discusses “To spice or not to spice,” while his friend Horatio warns him “Prithee, forsooth, if thou beist under the influence of drugs, thou mayest happen to sign over power of attorney to an untrustworthy party.”
“Yeah I was doing all sorts of drugs,” said an airman who wished not to be identified, “But I stopped when I saw how a single joint drove Hamlet to madness. I just don’t want that to happen to me.”
