I always thought these commercials were some of the worst. Thankfully:
WHITE HOUSE TO END DRUGS & TERROR ADS
Also Stops Study That Found Campaign Wasn’t WorkingWASHINGTON (AdAge.com) — The White House anti-drug office will end its controversial drugs-and-terror advertising campaign and, in a reversal, shift more of its $150 million budget toward children’s media as it fights for Congress to extend the program another five years.
The Office of National Drug Control Policy will also cease a polarizing $8 million annual study that found the ads aimed at youth were not working and that pitted the drug office against the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. [AdAge.com]
I really didn’t like those commercials at all. I’m so glad they are gone.
