Irony? Anti-Drug Commercials Send Mixed Messages

I've been amused by the latest anti-drug commercials.


Does anyone else feel as though the tactics employed are a bit ironic? Everything from the deranged carnival music to the entire 'I've let my four year-old toddler fiddle with my marker set' scheme screams trippy.

It just seems as though those behind the anti-drug campaign are giving kids a mixed message. In order to fully appreciate the anti-drug message, I have to be on drugs to grasp the beauty of this commercial?

At first, I though it was just me, but then I stumbled across this site. It seems as though some other viewers are more than slightly confused by these commercials.
