WoW Moviewatch: Drugs, my anti-World of Warcraft

A simple premise done well. I can't say that I officially recommend drugs as an alternative to this game (or that I agree with the idea that doing drugs is better for you than raiding for epics every weekend), but I thought the joke here was done pretty well.
And especially well for just some kids messing around. The sound, colors, and the music all worked, and while you can't fault those anti-drug PSAs for doing what they do, they do have a certain style to them that begs to be parodied.

I don't know about you, but I CAN and DO fault the anti-drug PSAs. Wasting millions on advertising that focuses on the "evils" of marijuana, basically the least harmful drug illegal or otherwise.
Don't get me wrong, I don't really want kids smoking pot, but these commercials aren't going to stop them. They are a laughing stock.
They're almost as bad as those stupid TRUTH or WHADAFXUP or whatever they call themselves today.

I take drugs while I'm playing WoW. It makes grinding bearable.

@3 How about a PSA showing that while marijuana may be the least dangerous drug show how when you buy it you are funding the criminal activity of gangs all over the world.
Marijuna due to the image of being a "safe" drug is the most common drug that is sold today, it funds Mexican Cartels who use slave labor, destroy neighborhoods, use marijuana distribution to launder money in the United States.
That and marijuana funds a lot of illegal gun purchases that work their way to the streets of the United States so it is really funding a lot of murders of innocent people from the gangs who purchase the weapons and destroy neighborhoods.
Now before people scoff at this and say cocaine and heroin and such sell for more, volume sold makes up for lower sell prices, since marijuana is easy/cheap to produce and is pretty much recreationally accepted the volume sold overcomes the other drugs.
But I guess ignorance is bliss.

@6
So basically your saying the American government should legalize it and sell it themselves thus ending all the violence and cartel funding?

@7 no that's stupid how about putting the moral side of it out there to enlighten folks that "safe" does come with societal consequences. I think I said that in the first sentence not sure where you got the whole legalize and decriminalize view from what I said considering none of what I said even remotely comes close to what you said.

@6 - Your point is moot if you buy locally homegrown from some hippies down the block.
@7 - Totally dude, totally.
