Before I few this at work, is this SFW or NSFW?

Oh. My. Gawd.

Best and worst editing in a news report ever. This is hysterical. Energy Drink is the new gateway drug.

This is the very SFW, unless your work doesn't like you laughing hysterically.

I still think gum cigarettes are fun... this is probably bad news, heh.

Did anyone notice the newsguy is called Dick Knipfing? If he can be a newsguy, Barack Hussein Obama can be President.

Strangely, the one thing that doesn't get covered in the report is whether kids are actually attempting to snort this stuff, which would seem a logical supposition, given the whole "coke lifestyle" millieu the product attempts to emulate.

If they're NOT, that would pretty much belie any accusations of this being some sort of "gateway substance" to real drug use; unless of course the "new thing" is to pour a couple of hundred dollars worth of actual cocaine into a bottle of water.

Even so, it's a pretty cynical and crass marketing approach, just to sell an energy drink.

KOMO did a big sweeps thing about Blow a couple of weeks ago. It was hysterical, but I can't find it on their page.

I've always liked candy cigarettes. I have never liked real cigarettes.
