Pablo the Drug Mule Dog has cocaine blues

While "This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs" mostly just caused stoners to laugh, the best anti-drug PSAs can really harsh your buzz. Think of the 2002 cinema spot (not available online) from the Partnership for a Drug-Free America in which the guys pull out of the drive-thru and nail a girl on a tricycle. That was a brutal time for moviegoers. The latest U.K. anti-cocaine PSA campaign, titled "Talk to Frank," is a bummer, too. Narrated by Pablo the Drug Mule Dog, whose stomach has been sliced open to carry coke, it offers a "frank" and graphic discussion of some of the ickier effects of drug. If you want more "Frank" talk, or help for you or a friend with a drug problem, go to TalkToFrank.com, a fairly hip drug-info site. I'll pass on talking to Frank for now; I'm off to the movies.

Hello Dan. Are you in there somewhere? I see what drugs have done to your brain.

i love this advert.
i think its a good way to prevent people doing coke, but not necesserely people who are already addicted.
p.s i dont think its a 'bummer' as you so delicately put it.

I would say that this is a far better site for drug information and an effective solution to the worldwide drug problem that is non governmental, political or religious...the charity Drug Free International also launched their Unite Against Drugs campaign to educate the populations on the truth about drugs, ccheck it out...
