Drug party gets wild in Frank ad

The government's new drugs awareness campaign is a spoof wildlife documentary about a teenage house party – complete with a voiceover impersonating David Attenborough.
The film, part of the government's youth drugs awareness campaign Frank, opens with the documentary cameras approaching a house party.
"Here in the suburbs we observe the human habitat after sunset," intones the familiar voice, "even though dark there is a surprising amount of activity ... the conditions suggest a social gathering or breeding colony".
The documentary cameras venture into the house and observe different types of drug takers – as if they are wildlife species in their native eco-systems.
The cameras observe "the pill taker" on ecstasy who exhibits a "vigorous mating dance", a "young acid dropper" on LSD "caught on camera for the first time" and the "hibernating stoner" a cannabis smoker who goes on to vomit and is labelled "the common puker".
The voice over was provided by impressionist and comedian Simon Lipson, a veteran of Radio 4's Dead Ringers.
Digital agency Profero, which developed the campaign, approached Attenborough to do the narration. After he declined the agency asked for permission to use an impressionist to mimic his famous voice.
The campaign, which includes 10 pieces of digital content targets 11- to 18-year-olds and will appear on sites including YouTube, MetaCafe, Bebo, MySpace and Faceparty. It will not appear on television.
The tongue-in-cheek style ad aims to resonate better with a youth audience that traditionally doesn't respond well to standard public information messaging.
"This campaign marks another significant step forward in how Frank relates to and engages with teenagers in its communications," said Chris Janzen, client services director at Profero.
The Frank drugs campaign is run by the Home Office, the Department of Health and the Department for Children, Schools and Families. The online campaign was managed by the Central Office of Information, the government's central advertising body.

Frank didn't mention the nun raping, or the burning of jews that accompanies a dope fiends usual night of debauchery.
Fucking lazy cunt. I'm not listening to him if he can't be bothered to get his facts right.

That girl could have changed her set positively if she just left that stupid party. Maybe the common puker made her nervous.

Yo that doesn't strike me as a place to drop a few hits jeez... It was a creepy place. As for the "common puker" looked like that guy OD'd on something rather than smoked marijuana.

One thing they forget about these adverts and making a stigma about drugs is that when a person uses and his family find out they are more likely to demonise him.
The problem here is that the majority will rebel and continue their drug use regardless and the families will continue demonising them because they believe it is the correct mindset to have.
The person is then far more likely to leave the family and go further into harder drugs.
Theres very simple social mechanics going on but the methods used to combat drugs seem to completely ignore them. It seems more like a political agenda than an effective step towards treatment.
