Aired circa 1987. Lady with bright 1980's style red lipstick snorting a stereo, color TV, a Boeing 747-400, and a POS 1986 compact car, followed by a single tear running down her cheek. If I'd just snorted all that stuff, I'd be crying too.

"One gram of cocaine costs as much as a boom box. Three grams of cocaine costs as much as a TV. Seven grams, a trip to Paris. A gram a week for a year, a new car.

If you're on coke, everything you work for is disappearing... right under your nose."

BTW, I claim Fair Use under the following rationale:

As a public service announcement, the public usefulness of its availability outweighs copyright, (see Time Inc. v. Bernard Geis Associates).

Failing the above, I claim that by virtue of being a Public Service Announcement, this work was released into the public domain.

And finally, to comply with YouTube's Terms of Use, This is NOT A COMMERCIAL. It is a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

  • Using 2010 data and average US street price of $59 per gram (varies widely by region).

    Boom Box vs. $59

    TV vs. $179

    Trip to Paris vs. $413

    New car vs. $3,068

    Market forces sure have changed since 1986. Inflation has raised the price of everything except cocaine! Cocaine is the one thing that has become more affordable. Guess that makes the War on Drugs (and supply side economics) an EPIC failure.

  • mmmm cocaine..ahhhh

  • Awwww... but it is fun to be on cocaine! :-)

  • This comercial is hillarious. xD

    But I can't really see why it makes any diffrence what you spend money on. I mean... It's all about what you prioretize. Proper meals proboably cost more than a gram of coke a week anyway, and most people don't miss those money. (And yes, you can safely live on noodles and chips for a year straight. Been there, done that, didn't as much as get sick.)

    In the end, we're all gonna die, can't bring the car with you there.

  • i guess i need to start making some coke! apprently i get hella bank!~

  • Definitely.  A gram costs about half that much where I live.
