When Anti-Drug Propaganda Undermines Itself

An anti-drug pencil with a hidden message:

No, that isn’t a Photoshop. Pencils like those really were
manufactured back
in 1998. Apparently, no one involved in making and distributing
the product picked up on the problem until a fourth grader pointed
it out. “We’re actually a little embarrassed that we didn’t notice
that sooner,” a spokesperson at the Bureau for At-Risk Youth said
at the time.

Now these
jokers have revived the design and are selling pencils
bearing the slogan again, this time with more self-awareness. It
comes in a pack of five, so if you want to mount four of them on
the wall in the above arangement you can still have one left over
to write with.
