Is it just me, or do those "above the influence" commercials make anyone else (well, except ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
_kyri) want to take up weed smoking out of spite? I mean, I know I'm not the target audience of that campaign, but I remember the Partnership for a Drug Free America growing up and even then, I felt like my intelligence was insulted after each one. Granted I was not a representative sample of American teenagers, which honestly on average probably as stupid as the ad campaign implies, but still, ugh... above the influence my ass. How about being above having my morals dictated by television?
In related but scary news... I'm truly frightened by the contemporary christian anthology that Time Life is pimping right now. Open the Eyes of my Heart, I think... Dude, if my heart had eyes, it would be a freakish anomoly of genetics. And neither jesus nor his daddy would be opening them.
But the question remains, what's scarier? the anthology itself or the fact that they're advertising it during WWE Smackdown?

Song of the day
Feb. 17th, 2006 09:29 pmI found myself wistfully thinking about Mom today as I waited for the bus in the wind after a really hard day at work... I found myself singing the song she would sing to me to make me laugh when I was bored or upset.
( My Gal's a Corker )
ad nauseum, pretty much. You could pretty much make up anything that rhymes with a body part (yep, I've done naughty bits and internal organs) to go in that third line. But yeah. Mom and I would sing that a lot when I was growing up - she even taught my third grade class to sing it on a bus trip to the Museum of Natural History.
I guess it still calms me down and makes me smile after all these years.
