Under the influence, commercial advertising.

[Finshaggy]

Alright.
The "Above the influence" people get to have videos where things happen like a girl smokes a joint, and her little brother sees it.
They get to talk shit about smoking weed.
They get to say "Jumping across building is safe, but if you smoke a joint... "

I think there needs to be some advertising against that.
So that people aren't afraid of growers, or acting like smoking makes you stupid anymore.

Like have ads where a kid smokes a joint, then walks into school, and gets handed a paper with an "A". No talking necessary.

A guy sets up a grow, and it quickly shows the grow all the way to fruition. His doorbell rings, and an old lady with a walker and a limp is at the door. She hands him money, he hands her a sack.


Here is an example of the cost of advertising.

I bet $20-50 per person, a group of 5-10 people we could have at least one or 2 real commercials.
And put a facebook page, or twitter or something at the bottom, and make our money back with our online adspace and eventually donations, and shirts, and bumper stickers and stuff...

Never see it cause the media is government controlled, and the federal government says its illegal. We are lucky to see the few shows/movies that we do that aren't poking fun of MJ.

Till its legal on a federal level, pretty much. That or for entertainment purposes. Won't see advertisements condoning its use. Probably won't even see them when it does become legal.

What if there are no words, and it isn't really "Condoning it".

Do you know what it specifically prohibits?

Because they show kids smoking, younger kids watching those kids smoking, and a close up of the joint burning on "Above the Influence" commercials...

And on those said commercials, they are against use. Even without words, it won't be show as a "good" or "acceptable" conduct.



So far so good, but I know where it'll end up. So wait for other replies.

 

[Finshaggy]

Are you saying, without words it might be accepted, because people will probably look at it bad anyways???

Here's the ad they made. The only thing they didn't do is show you a sack of weed

I think you might be confused about this post...

 

[OutlawR6]

no, not confused. just a message to you cause i think you have way to much free time on your hands, and the fact that your posting and thinking about their ad means its having some effect on you. maybe not what was intended but its in your head none the less. they have ads that users aren't going to listen to, may even laugh at. if you set up ads countering them, most non users will probably have a similar reaction. end result as i see it is the media making more money with their idiot box

I think both sides need representation...


It can't be "Just say no"

We need some "Just take it slow, stay away from the pills and blow"
