Meth Commercials Going Overboard

I used to think my 3rd floor view of a “Chuck” billboard was visually repulsive.  That was until I got back from vacation to find Zombina’s 30 foot head staring at my balcony, the leprous visage expressing strained disbelief and horror all mixxed into a lovely cocktail of despair.  I am aware that Zombina was erected to catch the eyes of passing motorists, who are most likely on their way to procure dangerous narcotics from the zombie overlord, and I am but a victim in the war on sado-masochism, but I think the point has been driven; Meth is not good for your complexion, although I have rarely seen a sexy crack head. 

This campaign has breached onto my television as well, where hypothetical drug situations are acted out, much like those cheesy high school plays D.A.R.E used to force you to do, but with way better special effects.  If you haven’t given your children the “Don’t do Meth speech” let me break it down to you. 

Dad: “Honey we need to rap about something”

Girl: “Shut up, I hate you”

Dad: “You know Meth is like, cleaning supplies and it turns you into a freaked out looking monster?”

Girl: “Yeah cause I’ve never seen Breaking Bad, god your a tard.”

Dad: “Good talk”.

So if you haven’t gathered it all together in your head yet, Meth is bad, it does very bad things, don’t do it.  So I can go back to watching t.v without having to see a mutilated simpering snot nosed kid who desperately needs some chap-stick.  I am not looking forward to the war on Herpes.
