Ed Driscoll at Instapundit posted a tweet by Kevin Sorbo indicating that people could be “radicalized” by watching commercials from the 1990s, and Driscoll posts this one:
Ah, gentle reader. A grainy little box on a computer screen is not the way I saw it.
I saw it projected on the wall of the Northwest High School gym at an all-school or more likely an all-school assembly parted into gym-sized groups of students.
At almost 3 minutes, the pseudo-music-video advertisement wasn’t for television, and it would have taken us several hours to download it from BBSes. No, this was designed just for that: To prepend Stay In School/Don’t Do Drugs mass meetings. And it, like Van Halen’s “Dreams” which I also saw for the first time at one of these assemblies, played upon a young man’s blood, for sure.
I, too, remember the before times.
