"Above the influence"
    #13445183 - 11/06/10 07:28 PM (13 years, 7 months ago)

The whole "above the influence" campaign, which tries to keep kids from being influenced into doing drug that are harmful.... why isn't there the same thing for the military? Be "Above the influence" don't buy into the military commercials it's more deadly than marijuana.... right? like... joining the army is more dangerous that smoking a spliff

I saw a comercial recently and the slogan was "everybodys doing it". So for all those years they were bashing peer pressure...but now its good to go with a trend? I don't get it...

Their whole compain is contradicting itself

By "above the influence," of course they mean "subject to our influence, not a personal influence."

They want you influenced by pre-packaged meaning set in line with the status quo.
They do not want you influenced by self-generated thoughts about the world around you.

you beat me to the punch, that's exactly the same way i feel about their commercials.

like, be "above the influence" of your trusted friends and confidants, but not above the influence of our massively televised ad campaign.

The worst part is I feel these commercials almost require kids to do drugs, lest they be alienated from their peers as a naive, fall-in-line tool.

Dude, that's actually a really good point!
The commercials make it seem like there's some pressure for conformity which must be reacted against, and so kids try drugs at an age when really they shouldn't be (IMO).

I had never thought about it that way specifically. Thanks for pointing that out.

Sane drug education FTW.

Yea they really did...Especially the one where the kid learned from his dad or something cause thats what happened for me. My mom accidentally left a joint out on the table and I found it but left it there so I figured if my parents did it then it couldn't be too bad haha.

I laugh whenever I see those commercials. I am also proof that the D.A.R.E. program doesn't work. All I remember going around saying in fifth through seventh grade was "Drugs are really exciting". Hahaha.

edit - Notice the token black kid in their banner at the top of the page, as well as the token Hispanic and Asian.



Priceless.

I think that's any kid now usually whether or not they are even high. When I get high, I start thinking about stuff and getting shit done.
