World Series Reporter's 'They're Smoking Weed' Clip Becomes Prop. 19 Ad Oct. 29 - AOL News
Just before game two of the World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Texas Rangers on Thursday, a reporter for a Dallas television station filed a story on the scene outside AT&T park for the local audience back home. But rather than the usual cliches about the picturesque view of San Francisco Bay, Newy Scruggs' story dealt almost entirely about the illegal substance being used by fans a short distance away. Here's the original version:
The group Internet Today quickly edited and tacked on a pro-Proposition 19 message to the end of the clip, which proceeded to go viral on the Internet and become the subject of talk radio and newspaper reports. Late Friday, the doctored video was removed from YouTube, but not before it was viewed more than 100,000 times. NBC's Dallas-Fort Worth affiliate has also made the clip one of its featured videos, albeit without the "vote yes on Prop 19" endorsement.
Will the free advertising help California's controversial ballot measure that legalizes recreational marijuana use for people over the age of 21? If recent polls are to be believed, Proposition 19 needs all the help it can get. The trend-lines are indicating that the proposition's passage doesn't look likely.

-------------------- A human race with more highly developed spiritual capacities, with expanded consciousness of the depth and the incomprehensible wonder of being, would also have greater understanding of and better consideration for the biological and material foundation of life on this earth, Above all, for Western people with their hypertrophied rationality, the development and expansion of a direct, emotional experience of reality, unobstructed by words and concepts, would be of evolutionary significance. Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined. To fall in hell or soar angelic, You need a pinch of psychedelic.

hahahaha so good
And this is why blocking things on youtube will never stop anything from spreading. Funny how NBC sees this as bad.
With the decriminalization of weed in California, it's pretty much legal already. Too bad all the profits are still on the black market. Come on 19!
