It was this extremely unthreatening "try to be cool" kind of ad with the
theme "What's your anti-drug?" The supposed point of this campaign is to
get kids into hobbies and goals and stuff that makes them not want to do
drugs... It had some girl drawing cartoons and ends with her saying
something like "drawing is my anti-drug". Personally, i would tend to agree
with the sentiment of this ad, but what this ad really is, and the system
that it represents, is not "cool" or "unthreatening" at all... This is the
type of insidious propaganda that lulls the average reasonable person into
complacency about what the Drug War really is all about, which is the
persecution of innocent people, and is a form of class warfare by the elite
against the undesirables.
One could possibly argue that Aphex supports the sentiment of this ad, as
do I, but he can't be ignorant of the ad's real purpose as propaganda for
an attack on freedom and the lower classes.
