Every time I go to the New York Times website to read an article, I'm presented with a flash ad by the Parents, The Anti-Drug people beseeching mommies and daddies to be aware of what their kids are looking at/doing online. The ad shows a kid wandering through a cartoon mall with stores labelled "XXX," "Candy," "Sports," and "Marijuana."
The ad is a total ripoff of a great sketch fromChapelle's Show, except that the people who made the anti-drug spot seem to have never used the internet before. First of all, if the internet is a mall, then there needs to be like 987263743 more stores that say "XXX." Then there's the marijuana store. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the innernets do not have marijuana. If there were a "cannibis" section of Amazon, god knows, they'd be doing a pretty good business, but it isn't there. I'VE LOOKED. Ebay also has a distinct lack of marijuana for sale or auction. Maybe if you live in Amsterdam you can place your order on the web, but I kind of doubt it.
Let's review what we've learned:
The innernet has: porn
The innernet does not have: marijuana
This WILL be on your final exam.

Ah, but the internet does have a lot of bad, bad people who may say things like "Go ahead and smoke some marijuana, kid! I did when I wqas your age--wouldn't have survived my adolescence without it" and "Remember, when you're south of the border, call it mote (MO-tay) or they'll think you're a square."
i beg to differ:
