Ad Spoofing White House Drug Ads to Run
A 30 second tv ad will begin airing Thursday spoofing the Nick and Norm ads of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy that push the theme that marijuana funds terrorists.
The ad spots are sponsored by the Marijuana Policy Project.In the spoof, Nick tells Norm the marijuana trade supports violence only because marijuana is illegal. "If I buy a beer, that doesn't support terror, because beer is legal, right?" Nick asks. When Norm agrees, Nick concludes, "So what you're saying is if we make marijuana legal and regulate it like beer, it wouldn't support violence."The ads will run on CBS, ABC and Fox affiliates in DC through March 7. Cost for airtime: $20k.
