ONDCP's "High Gamer" Ad Campaign - Click to see for yourself!

Only the people who brought you Stoners in the Mist could think of an anti-marijuana ad campaign that tells kids smoking pot will make you bad at video games.  Hello?  This is in the same irony league as the maker of Pop Tarts firing the world’s greatest athlete for being a stoner.

I’m not a video game player myself (I work on computers, I don’t want to play on one), but maybe some gamers out there can tell us in the comments how much pot has ruined their video games skills.

These ads are the latest currently posted at the website of the Office of National Drug Control Policy.  I think they were probably produced pre-Obama Administration, but if they are still up on the site, then they speak for President Obama until they come down.

There is a new radio ad out called “Stoner Simulation”:

Next is a video ad called “Achievements” featuring various teens listing their various failures.  The tag line at the end of the video that is shown graphically but not said is “What has weed done for you?”

The latest prejudicial stereotyping of cannabis consumers comes as part of the ONCDP’s “Above the Influence” ad campaign. It is a website and interactive Flash video called “Stoners in the Mist”, and it copies the look and feel of a National Geographic-style safari documentary, complete with a white-mustachioed “explorer” in a pith helmet introducing us to the hunt for his elusive prey:

Stoners in the Mist | Fun | AboveTheInfluence.com

It is a beautiful day. And while most people are out and about enjoying friends, activities, life in general…the creature that we seek is sedentary, uninspired, and remarkably unmotivated. My associate and I are in search of the lair of a magnificent specimen: the mature stoner.

Oh, goody! I wonder which mature, sedentary, uninspired, unmotivated stoner he’s seeking out? Ricky Williams, that former NFL running back? That guy is so lazy, what with his two-a-day workouts, yoga, and 3% body fat. Willie Nelson? Yup, there’s a mature stoner who never amounted to anything. Montel Williams? Talk about amotivational syndrome, hosting a TV show and running an MS foundation! Too bad Carl Sagan is dead, because there you had one completely uninspired stoner.

In this interactive feature, we will explore and attempt to explain the social interactions and natural responses of this elusive and baffling creature. I am your host, Barnard Puck and this… is Stoners in the Mist.

Apparently, “Dr.” Puck and his assistant have no problem being peeping Toms. Well, this should be fun. More screenshots and offensive stereotypes follow after the jump…
