Slog - Comments on Montana Fights Meth, Whitney Courts Death http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/03/montanas_new_me ABC News has the story on Montana's fierce new anti-meth campaign, one of whose ads appears above. (Who says romance is dead?) Financed via a $5.6 million donation from software billionaire and part-time Montana resident Thomas Seibel, the campaign has grown in the biggest advertiser in the state, with the Montana Meth Project's ads popping up on billboards, newspapers, radio, and TV. According to the MMP, meth use among Montana's youth is dramatically higher than the national average, hence the full court press with the strategically grisly ads, which are focussed on preventing kids from trying meth even once....

The scare tactic stuff and the "Bobby used to be a good boy, until he tried pot" ads never did anything but make me want to try drugs more. Hopefully this works in MT. Meth is ugly.

Losing one's virginity in a scuzzy bathroom stall? HOT!

Remember the jingle for the "anti"-meth ad a few years ago, featuring the model-skinny heroin-chic chick? "I can't sleep, and I can't eat, but I've got the cleanest house on the street, meth, OOOooohhh meth!" Fer fuck's sake! I'd love to be able to not sleep, not eat, and have a clean house, all while looking like the chicks in Vogue!

Gotta get me some meth.

That'll scare a lot of kids out of trying it.

Sorry. Get over yourself, you purist wanna-be.
