I think if you look at the specifics of that campaign,
they're actually fairly good. I mean encouraging kids to
get into art/music/creation instead of drugs.
I can see how you could be down with that even
if you like drugs yourself or generally dislike the
anti-drug machine of the government.
I'd add some idm content, but i know this post will be deleted
by anybody looking for that.

Warp records arent sellouts either... the song wasnt changed or anything.
you've misunderstood the meaning of the word sellout. its been said in this
thread before, & ill just repeat it: selling out is compromising your
artistic freedom to gain money/fame.
