TMNT anti-pot commercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2kKjpNWHks&feature=player_embedded

This is an anti-pot ad from the 90's. In it, there is a group of young students in a classroom, watching a video of a boy who is pressured to try pot. The commercial uses children who look excited about not using pot, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (a popular cartoon at the time) to show the audience how to say no to pot. At the time the ad was made, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were one of the most popular children's shows. A good ad campaign is to show children that drugs are not cool by getting their icons to tell them. This ad is a good representation of how parents want their children to feel about drugs, and other things that can harm their children. It also shows that parents have an idea that their kids will have fun doing the right thing!
