I have had enough of those commercials

Is anyone else getting sick of those PSAs about meth in Georgia?

One of the commercials talks about a girl that feels bad that she got her friend to do meth and her friend died because when she passed out, no one else at the meth party checked on her. Hey, instead of feeling guilty about getting your friend hooked, you remember that she has free will and CHOSE to do it. I mean, you are still an idiot for doing meth, but don't flatter yourself. Your loser (now dead, if the commercial's story was real, which I doubt it was) friend clearly wanted to do meth on her own. She killed herself. Not you.

Another one of the commercials talks about a guy that was walking in the woods with his brother and the two were doing meth. The (high on meth) brother says something and the speaker picks up a big stick and beats him with it. The speaker says he "messed up" his brother "pretty bad." Now his family won't speak to him. My question is this: is the family speaking to the brother, who is ALSO a meth junkie? How hypocritical is THAT? Also, I want to know what smart-ass remark your brother made to set you off enough to pick up a big stick and beat him down. If he was running his mouth, maybe he had it coming, just saying.

Bottom line: these commercials just aren't working for anything other than to make me roll my eyes when they come on. If you are on meth, you won't stop after hearing these ads. If you are thinking about doing meth, these commericals won't sway you. They are good to make fun of folks from Gainesville or where-ever they pretend to be from and that is IT.
