New anti-weed commercials

About a year ago the anti-weed commercials on TV liked to portray accidents and such. For example, one of the commercials showed a car carrying several stoned kids at a fast food drive through and they pulled out and hit a kid.
Now all of the anti-weed commercials I see focus on how lazy weed makes you. I see commercials that say, "Bobby didn't get hooked on another drug or go to jail...he just ended up not going anywhere" and then they show some loser dude chilling in his parent's basement all stoned.
What are your thoughts on the shift of anti-weed commercials?

They shifted into the right direction. This biggest danger of weed is laziness...IME I always procrastinate when I'm high.

The girl that runs over the old man is out having fun with her friends getting high. The loser is sitting in a basement by himself getting high. Which one sounds better to you?

I agree. This shift is really good for the anti-weed people. These commercials are the only anti-weed commercials I have ever seen that have any element of truth to them.
Not that all pot smokers are lazy and worthless mind you...

I love all of the anti pot smoking commercials. The best one is the one with the really young girl taking a pregnancy test with her parents sitting there looking disgraced - all because she smoked weed.
I don't know what else the girl did, but I have personally never smoked pot and had the urge to suddenly take my clothes off. I'm more likely to turn down sex while high in favor of raiding the snack cabinet or something

*stumbles upon thread again*
"Holy shit, anti-weed commercials? I was busy hitting the bong, little girls and my parents basement! HIIIYIIYO!O!!!!!!Oneon!N@11!"
Nawh, for seriously.. those commercials are lame. When I first starting actually learning about weed, reading things from scientific america and scouring peices of information from the internet I gave a shit (and was probably too defensive like a lot of newb asses). Now that I'm a more seasoned smoker, I just shrug it off because I'm too good for that shit. Some people just aren't going to learn, and those ads are going to be around for a long time. It's no secret that weed's HELLA_HARMLESS, but people like selective hearing over the truth. It's an easier pill to sWaLloW. 
I have a much, much deeper respect for the all mighty cannabis plant now. And in some ways, it also stabs you a little deeper to hear people talk smack about the plant as well as the people associated with it. But in the long run, I know my identity and the only people paying attention to those ads now are boners anyways! As long as brothers and sisters aren't getting thrown in the slammer, people can talk all the slander they want. Myself? I try to play the activist when I can. Donate money, spread the good word and even pass out fliers if need be.
But anyways, I won't let those ads hamper my mood. Things are cool in BC, my parents are down with pot (and I just smoked up with my stepdad for the first time! got him ripped!) no one around here's getting tossed in jail over any nickel sacs and so fourth. I'm just waiting for people to educate themselves and for the DEA to run out of federal funding or something! Maybe Marc Emery will martyr himself and something good will come out of the whole DEA-Canadian seeds ordeal.
Plutonium, my bong's sitting in the car right now so if you can take a toke for me, I'll do the same.
I don't have a macro, just a crappy camera phone. Here's what I'm smokin (in like 4 seconds after finishing this sentance and pasting a thumbnail). Screw you anti-weed commercials. 100% Burmese, BC grown... awesome genetics, harvested at the perfect time, cured for two weeks and already smokes like a fine wine.

... that looks so delicious.... anyways.. I smoked weed and got aids THE END.... i think that would be an effective anti-drug commercial... just like some cracked out guy like tyrone biggums taking a diesel hit, then the scene cuts and it shows him convulsing on the pavement and then he dies and gets run over.... amazing premise
