Ok, so someone finally dreamed up a better campaign against drugs. For those who haven’t enjoyed seeing the commercials, here’s the link www.theantidrug.com. The reason I really like this campaign is because it strikes where it needs to be targeted, the parents. The main advocation is that parents need to be parenting, you know, like asking who, what, where, etc. I love it. This last commercial I saw was great. Had a punk kid ripping to music and getting ready to go out, loose mohawk, piercings, safety pins and everything. As he was leaving the house, his mum asked him who he was going to be out with. In between her question and his answer was the narrator interrupts with “Let kids be who they are”. I like that. *grin*

Ok, Beltaine rocked. My Scotsman was wonderful and so were those in the grove.
In other news, AOL really sucks. They actually hung up on me the first time around. I called to cancel my account, and the “agent” decided to waste my time with telling me about all these “specials” that they had and all this bullshit, like downloading coupons, that would save me money. He wasted so much of my time, even offered me a month free, and then got angry with me because I kept telling him that I don’t use AOL and I have no need for it. Of course, I told him to save AOL’s money by cancelling my account right off instead of the free month. And then I guess he heard my Scotsman in the background saying it would keep AOL from running up the bill that is getting his co-workers laid off. Needless to say, this guy does not belong in customer service. I have never run up against someone so rude, then again, after dealing with AOL “host-guides”, I think it’s just the company culture that breeds it. I mean, look at Steve Case, being an asshole in contagious.
