In the efforts to keep teens from smoking, a local ad decided to show what the "equivalent" of smoking is to you.
 
A class is about to dissect a frog.  Apparently, one of the little tykes is thirsty, and she decides to drink the liquid that the frog was in, with great relish.
 
Then, when she's finished, she's considerate enough to ask her lab partner if he's "gonna finish that", referring to another container of frog liquid.
 
I'm certainly no fan of smoking, but there were so many other better ways to demonstrate how smoking effs you up.  I mean, damn.

That reminds me of a similar commercial for some soda (Slice, I think?) where the kid ate the actual frog itself instead of dissecting it.  I remember they had another commercial at the same time where somebody's burning a bug with a magnifying glass, then a giant burns HIM with a magnifying glass.  That's really disturbing.  I don't want to imagine a world with giants.

All right, I can't find the commercials.  I can't even get the Post Options to pop up!  But think of the recursion in this:

Quote What does frog liquid have to do with quitting cigarettes?

 
And why are we encouraging children to drink formaldehyde?

They're saying that along with the nicotine, you're also inhaling formaldehyde, which is unhealthy.
Let's try not to be boring, mkay?
