If you're like me, you see print drug prevention that scare the urine and crap out of kids with the worst possible scenario. Effective, yes, but there's no levity to them.

That's where I come in. Thanks to my beginner PhotoShop skills and a wicked sense of humor, I took some drug prevention and motivational posters and made them better:

For frame of reference reasons, here is the website where the original drug prevention ads came from: http://www.mediacampaign.org/mg/print.html

If you want to see them up close and personal, please click on them.

Here are the nine drug prevention ones:

How so very unfunny. Use your "talent" for something that's objective.

And, the levity of those images is so high that it's offensive. "Boycott Chinese Restaurants"? "... black guy kidnapped..."? You'd better watch yourself.

You need to spend more time with Something Awful. There's something more to their photoshopping than what you have.

Now THOSE are ways to revel in the absurdity of anti-drug or motivational posters.

I didn't find that funny. I softly giggled at the Livejournal girl, but GOD, MAN, almost all of those are offensive and unneeded in this world. Is this what you do in your spare time? :sad:

The only mildly funny one was "Don't Drop Banana Skins". Plus the anti-drug thing should be done in the font.

I agree, I thought they were pretty tasteless and offensive, except for the "Don't Drop Banana Skins" one.
