They just showed the Public Service Announcement for WE'RE NOT CANDY.....OMG!!! Talk about your OBSCURE TV REFERENCE.......
On every other day between GI Joe and Transformers on WTIC TV, Channel 6 (Or was it Channel 20 WTXX here in CT??)......that thing would come on.
That was a great song to sing when you were stoned :)
And dont EVEN GET ME STARTED on the RAP for ONE DUMB MOVE.... :)
"ALCOHOL may cause you No Alarm,
Until you WAKE UP and Find that YOU are harmed!
You may laugh and think Cigarettes are a joke,
but is it worth Bad Breath and poor Health to Smoke?
When you check out the score on Drug Abuse
What you find is a game you can ONLY LOSE!
It'll SOON be 1999, and some of you may never USE YOUR MINDS....
Break, Spin and Rock..but do not fall
Under the spell of Smoke, Drugs, and Alcohol!!"
:D
It helps to appreciate these songs if you wash down a handfull of Vicodins with a good cold Budweiser ;)
WHOS WITH ME!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? ;D ;D
ps: This series is better than the first 80's series, why?
PRIME TIME COVERAGE OF COLECOVISION ***AND*** GI JOE 3" FIGURES!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Yep, the series has been great, a series nostalgia ride, hopefully they keep em coming.
As for the Public Service announcements.... by your reference that you were stoned while watching makes me guess you were a teenager when these were out and would clearly put you out of the target audience for the commercial. While they were definitely hokey, they were trying to reach the younger ones who thought the lame rap was "cool" and might actually listen and not do drugs as opposed to the older kids who already knew whether or not they were going to be burn outs.
Unfortunately, the typical teen, then and now, already knows everything, and at a certain point can be told nothing, they are going to do what they want short of being locked in a basement. :)

VH1 always makes slight errors with it's pseudo documentaries (i.e. calling Matt Groening 'Grow Ning' in the Pop Culture Icons... it's actually 'Gray Ning'). Last night they covered Donkey Kong in 1983!! It was actually released in 1981.
And those singing pills always scared the **heck** out of me (I really wanted to use a stronger word there) when I was a kid. Very freaky stuff.

Actually he's dressed like a freak for a reason. Well more of a freak, for more of a reason...
He's the lead in some aweful rosie o'donnel production broadway show of some real life guy that walked around and looked like that...
*Shrug* culture club indeed.
