’80s antidrug videos rock!


Ah, this brings back memories of the D.A.R.E. program.

White House sponsored 1980’s music video about drug use.

STARRING: New Edition, LaToya Jackson, (a very young) Whitney Houston, Nancy Reagan, David Hasselhoff, Kim Fields, Herb Alpert, Casey Kasem, Arnold Schwarzenegger — many others. With special guest appearance by Boogaloo Shrimp from Breakin’ and Breakin’ 2. (info from YouTube, link courtesy Layla)

    I love these old ads. Can you imagine if they ever made anti-sex ads? We all would have been fucking in the streets at age 11.

    You have to see this video… It tells me that if I do drugs I will get to sit in hot tubs, ride around in limos, hang out with beautiful chicks, and overall have a great social life. As laura clearly states, 80’s antidrug videos rock!

    Funny that it has Whitney “Crackhead” Houston and Governor Arnold “Juicehead” Schwartzenegger, two fine upstanding drug addicts!!!
