The opposition to Prop. 19 in California would like you to believe that marijuana rots your brain. So it's just a bit ironic that the people writing their slogans couldn't pass a 3rd grade English class.
This one from Citizens Against Legalizing Marijuana remained on their site for weeks after being mocked around the web:
Our children’s future are in your hands…
And this week, the anti-pot group Public Safety First launched a new ad campaign that had to be corrected immediately:
As California goes, do does the
rest of the country.
Hey, mistakes happen. Maybe it's a bit childish to focus on something so trivial when so much is at stake. But I can't help but indulge my amusement at the notion that growing support for legalization has left our opposition in the hands of a bunch of remedial grammar students.
