11/12: Bowl down drugs

This graphic is part of the "Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey" website.

I've seen a lot of bad websites in my day. But this amateur work is just so, so bad... well so bad it's camp. If I lived in New Jersey I would surely take massive loads of drugs to avoid the horror of this site.

What text accompanies the above graphic? "TO HELP PREVENT MARIJUANA USE BY YOUR KIDS, HELP THEM ROLL THIS." Yeah, yeah, that'll work just great! I'm surprised there are any drugs left in NJ!

Even stupider is a slogan they've come up with: "Drugs Don't Work in New Jersey." Leave aside the fact that more pharmaceutical companies locate there than any other state. Isn't this slogan a little self-defeating? If the drugs don't work, surely you don't need a website to combat them. Surely nobody will buy crack in Hoboken if it doesn't work. I'm imagining the throes of new freshmen going to Rutgers and Princeton, pulling furiously on bowls of weed and wondering why it doesn't work. Shoulda gone to SUNY or Penn State, I guess. And Christ, don't tell the NJ postal workers taking Cipro that the drugs don't work.
