    • @leslievelvy
      @leslievelvy 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Sorry but you're wrong even if it's get legal it still bad to smoke it in public places or even in apartments, And it still a big deal to buy it since they will probably ask you, your cards and probably call a hospital to get you some help. Us Canadian don't laugh about that 😂 peoples will judge you so much by the way it a big deal I still don't understand why they decide to make it legal 😑😑

    • @DaniAlexandria
      @DaniAlexandria 4 ปีที่แล้ว +77

      leslievelvy never said it didn’t have negative health effects. All I’m pointing out is the difference in media campaigning from the government. They went from tell people it is the worst thing in the world and to not even do it once to opening up their own stores and essentially telling people to come on down because now the government is making money off of it

    • @DaniAlexandria
      @DaniAlexandria 4 ปีที่แล้ว +66

      leslievelvy and the reason why they made it legal is the same reason why cigarettes are legal. Legal doesn’t = healthy. It was made legal because 1. It’s a super stupid thing to go to jail for 2. It was disproportionately imprisoning minorities and perpetuating poverty 3. It is much harder to study the effects of an illegal drug and 4. The government could get in on the revenue drug dealers were making

    The commercial of the girls chasing the boy down was actually a favourite in my family because they liked the song, and it was rare to randomly hear a song in Italian in a commercial, so it made my nonna who didn’t speak English well. The song is about, well, girls.
    Also, I’m absolutely sure a whole generation of Canadian children left peanut butter on toast out for the house hippos.

    One of the commercial series that stuck with me when I was younger was those workplace safety ones where they were saying how there aren't really accidents at work. Something awful would happen, someone would shout 'Help, there's been an accident!!' and the injured person would sit up, all covered in the FX gore makeup and go 'Actually, no it wasn't. You fucked up here, I fucked this up, and the boss fucked this other thing up. There's no accident here'.
    Like, I was an older kid- maybe a tween. But shit, that really hit me good. And also got me into FX makeup.

    “Boy, it’s not easy being one” meaning it’s not easy being a boy LOL. I guess it’s trying to show guys have it tough and for people to be more understanding?

    • @vlo4829
      @vlo4829 4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      The problem with the ad isn't that wearing coats is the worst thing that can happen to a boy. The problem is that they were supposed to make an ad that depicted the boy in a sympathic manner (or a compromising situation) but they chose not to in spite of the message.

  • @jennalblackmore
    @jennalblackmore 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    9:17 this PSA sends me into a wild rage when I see it now as it did in my youth. This ad is nothing less than loathed. I hoped when I clicked the video that you would bestow some form of mercy, to leave out *this.* It is not the content of the ad that vexes me, but the number of times I was subjected to it by YTV. Its only redeeming feature is the Italian song about... sewing?
    Was it worth seeing it so many times to watch Winx Club though? Absolutely. Do I wish Roberto Cardinali a very "I hope your music becomes known for more than this?" Yeah.
