Apparently real satanic panic propaganda. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Before we had the transgender woke turning kids into violent far left anitifa terrorists, we had:

      “weird orgies, wild parties, unleashed passions”

      Are they trying to sell it to us or what?

    Oh yes, this kinda thing was absolutely real. My parents were pushers of it. Maybe not this exact text, but there were pamphlets galore with similar wording, especially in the conservative christian crowds in the bible belt.

    Same people also love The Doobie Brothers, which makes this one even funnier.

    We always have something that is blamed for causing problems. Teaching evolution in schools. Dancing. Rock music. Shooting games. D&D

      Honestly, not to be an edgelord or anything, “God” sounds like a god damn fascist ‘himself’ and heaven is probably full of the worst people. I’d much rather side with the guy that dared to ask questions instead of just blindly following commands.

      Not that I’m religious, or a fan of monotheism in general. If I felt like needed that kind of magic and symbolism in my life, I’d much rather choose the old gods than upside down christianity, personally.

        Thats the judaochristian concept of God with all the “all knowing all controlling Lord Father King that will punish you forever if you infringe their arbitrary rules”

        Its a shame that western teenagers and disillusioned adults tend to rather reach for satanism as an edgey reactionary “dont actually believe it but want to visibly show I’m against the church” instead of breaking open eastern philosophy books and learning about concepts from things like Daoism or bhuddism. Not all concepts of the Divine are so super controlling arbiters of morality like what our popular religions over here try to sell us on.

        you might enjoy Hazbin Hotel. Adam (in Heaven) is a narcissistic misogynistic bro abusing his power, while Lucifer (in Hell) is a goofball who collects rubber duckies and is a loving (if slacker) dad to his daughter (the protagonist.)

      Found one with a few more pixels.

      Seems to say, “If you or someone you know is addicted to marijuana call Domino’s (?) at (215) 721-1000, rent a tape, and enjoy!”

      Pretty strange wording. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a fake but I’m still not 100% convinced.

        The poster is just a movie reference. The photo of the kid smoking weed is from a movie called Hereditary and it only came out in 2018.

        I’m not sure I’d agree with how they frame what happens, though. Not because I think it’s an unfair characterization, but because that’s just straight up not how the movie goes.

        You’re not 100% convinced that it’s a fake after it literally tells you to eat pizza and watch a movie as advice to deal with marijuana addiction?

        Honestly I think you got me with not putting a /s because clearly you must be joking but part of me also is like “maybe people are this dumb?”. But I think I’m the dumb one here

          Pizza

          Is that what the “Domino’s” was referring to? I didn’t even realise that, that’s why I put the “(?)” there, it didn’t sound like any kind of drug rehab lol. And I thought the tape was like some DARE or Reefer Madness type shit. Basically that this was someone trying to cash in on the Satanic panic.

          But with the simple context of pizza, the whole statement makes a lot more sense now lol. So obviously I’m dumb.

          Nicely done! Well that confirms it lol.

          What makes this so believable to me is that I grew up with people in positions of authority pulling things out of their asses. Like messages from Satan in heavy metal, or Pokémon making kids commit suicide, or LSD hidden in temporary tattoos, drug dealers handing out free drugs to kids, He Man being evil because there’s only one master of the universe etc. etc.

          And it hasn’t stopped. In some ways it’s more deranged now. Like tracker microchips in vaccines, or something to do with 5G and changing your DNA. Jewish space lazers. Litter boxes in librul classrooms for kids that identify as cats. Transgender for everyone! George Soros and the lizard people secretly controlling all the right wing billionaire owned media.

          I guess that’s what makes this particular fake ad a good joke. I’m so tired.

    Looks more like a pipe to me. Get your terminology right if you want to impress anybody.

    And anyhow, when’s this from? The 90s? According to Reefer Madness cannabis was much more potent in the 30s. Good old times.

      Going by a reverse image search, apparently '70s or '80s. But I mean, you can’t believe everything you read on social media, especially with AI now. I’ve got no particular reason to doubt this though and if it’s fake, I’m sure sure I could find another one that’s just as ridiculous.

      It’s actually just one ridiculous thing to the next with society. From the red scare to the satanic panic to the gay agenda. Witches then are witches today.

    Now that the name Karen has been run to the ground, maybe it’s time to do the same for Peter.

    You know a Peter, right? Everyone knows one. There’s always someone who smokes a joint and gets the bright idea to burn down a church or whatever. Ugh. Everyday annoyance, am I right? Such Peter behaviour. Don’t be a Peter.
