Re: Scruff McGruff 80s Antidrug PSA

Ahhh retarded Reagan propaganda!I remember this stuff well.I can remember this one anti drug special they played one night with an all star gang of cartoon characters.I wish I could see it again simply for the fact that it is probably the first and only time in history we will see Winnie the Pooh talk about heroin LOL!!!Now if only I could make a sequel that was about harm reduction instead of propaganda.What could be cooler than seeing Winnie the Pooh teach us safe injection practices?

I mean it is fairly obvious that Tigger is a tweaker and Eyore is really into downers or opiates.Doesn't that video make you wish someone would come in and punch that annoying dog and that annoying singer in the face?

Oh yeah...How Nancy....<yawn>

We all had to suffer through that before. Our hopes were that the next generations wouldn't have to.

Re: Scruff McGruff 80s Antidrug PSA

Scruff sure bring back memories .. like watching Mrs. Regan on TV begging parents to tell their children to 'just say no' whilst Mr Regan's CIA was helping drug lords move massive amounts of cocaine into US cities to fund a coup in South America ...

All the while the CIA and D.C. were after Noriega, primarily for drug trafficing, but coincidentally he worked directly for and with the CIA for 30 years, until the CIA decided he was spying for Cuba...

Ya whatever.. theres a lot more to the Drug War than simply a well intentioned idea gone horribly wrong.

Re: Scruff McGruff 80s Antidrug PSA

I just want to know what you call that singers hairstyle?Is there even a name for that?And her fashion sense?Somehow I don't think she said no to psychedellics that morning.I can just imagine how it came about."Whoah my hair is slowly morphing into the extension chords I hooked up the atari,the rad new cassette player,and the vcr with."Thats how that hairstyle came about.

That is one of the most trippy anti-drug ads I've ever seen. Who's the cutie singer with the funky hairstyle? I'd hit it!

I've never seen that singer.She looks like she wanted to copy the eighties British new wave scene but only saying now the MDMA unfortunately.

Re: Scruff McGruff 80s Antidrug PSA

Even if one were to chose to believe that "users are losers" as the song points out, its seems a little off to also have it say "and losers are users".
