Video Games Get You High
Coonskin05 | 8:18 PM on 01.13.2008 41 comments




While I was watching the Cowboys game(sigh...) I saw this commercial. Let's not even get into a debate on the war on drugs, just the video game aspect. Clearly the video game is supposed to be a rip-off of Grand Theft Auto, and apparently not only do we get the blame for violence, but drugs too. I just know that tons of uninformed parents are going to watch this then decide that video games=drug usage.


Hey cunts, be glad your kid is inside playing games instead of out back lighting a fattie.

Damnit I hate people sometimes.

That pisses me off. I smoke weed cause I like it, not cause Master Chief hits the bong with Sgt. Johnson.

I think the mother should lay off the drugs, unless youre playing Seaman there is no reason you should have a conversation with your television.

Nothing like the ol' one-two punch from ignorant conservative douchebags. Also....... I killed five men yesterday, that were wearing giant 40's era diving suits because of Bioshock.

Games never get me high...

*Eats a mushroom and then rolls up his dog in a Katamari while humming the SMB2 theme*

But, seriously, this commercial made no sense. If a parent needed this commercial to convince them that drugs were bad then they weren't worth convincing.

I didn't know Master Chief hit the bong with Sgt. Johnson. Do you think they could get me a hook up?

I don't really think that was the gist of the commercial. It seemed to be saying that you should pay attention to your what sort of media your child is absorbing, including ones that celebrate drug culture.

I am pretty sure I wouldn't let my niece or nephew play a GTA until they were teenagers, and then I'd overanalyze and talk about them so much that they'd just seem boring and the kids would want to go outside or play something else.

ME: "Well, you see, Genny, CJ here is an illustration of the rich / poor dichotemy, and the violence and drug spiral that pervades inner city culture. See those cops shooting CJ? They are just machinations of a brutal culture of oppression."

HER: "Jesus Christ, Uncle Johnny. I don't care. I don't even want to play this stupid game now."

Interestingly enough, CJ doesnt do drugs, smoke or drink, as far as i know, in fact he turns down Ryder and other when they offer him drugs..

Except that one mission where he has to destroy The Truth's growth operation and burns all that weed and gets high form the smoke..

I'm not quite sure how "make sure you talk to your kids about the portrayal of drugs in the media" is a sign of a dictatorial government.

Heck, Britain, Australia, and Germany, not to mention Singapore, have all been much quicker to ban a game than the United States.

Seriously, though, what's so terrible about this commercial?

if anything, its ripping on Saint's Row. that game lets it all hang loose for the most part.

pay attention parents, is pretty much the only message i can take back from this commercial. a couple people said that, but yea i agree with them.

video games aren't showing you what to do to be cool, they allow you to do what you couldn't do or legally do in real life, like kill epic amounts of people.

if you seriously take back that killing people is cool to do in real life, there's obviously some issues in that kid's head that make him think that way.

therapy. shit loads of it.

the irony is that if the mom is talking to a video game character like that, she's probably the one ON drugs.

I think the irony is that the video game character convinced the mother to feel a certain way. She obviously was influenced by the video game as well as her date-raper kids.

Im glad the Cowboys lost, even though they are one of my favorite teams. Now with the Giants the Packers have an easy in to the Super Bowl. Shame they have to play New England once they get there.
