Too funny, particularly the hokey voice-over. [Via Alternet]

    WTF (5.00 / 1) (#1)

    was in that bag of pot? Kindling? We smoke sticks?

    Very educational. Shows the kids exactly how to smoke hash. Brilliant.

    And eloquently fascist, in a post modern sort of way, don't you think?  "Use your eyes."

    Feed your head!

      For you younger folks, the voice belongs to Jack Webb of Dragnet fame. Dragnet was the greatest example of the unintentionally hilarious genre ever produced.  

    Jack Webb wasn't a friend of mine... (none / 0) (#7)

    But Senator, that's not Jack Webb.  I don't know the narrator's name, but it ain't Friday.

    Is it midnight of eventual regret and dispair already? I have to be leaving. I promised the sitter I'd get her home by 12:30.

    I've just about stopped laughing enough to type.  As someone who has written scripts for police training for a living, I am in awe.  Pure genius.  Luckily, all of my scripts are for scenarios delivered in person by live actors; no tapes exist to provide comedy value for future generations.  Still, I've never been commissioned to produce anything that would be such a comprehensive guide to breaking the law.  And I too love that closing line!

    For your information, in the UK the term 'roach' refers not to a partially smoked joint, but to the bit of card you tear off your packet of papers, roll up and stick in the end of the joint that you put in your mouth (the butt) to stop it going soggy or losing its shape.  So I'm told...

    training police to sort through our ashtrays...its a knee slapper.

    I long for the day when a man is judged by the content of his character, not his ashtray.
