Just came across this article and questioned what the heck is going on in the picture. It's just a picture of the Grim Reaper plus a caption that potholes The Nostalgia Chick and Monty Python.

I think the point it's trying to convey is that you can die from doing drugs, but I can't tell that just from the picture of Death.

Looking through the examples though, I'm not coming up with any ideas to show this though.

[up] Actually, that`s from a PSA about AIDS. See also the Advertising section of High Octane Nightmare Fuel, with which this has a lot of overlap.

Motion to pull

Scary, but nothing about scaring someone straight is there.

Support pull.

I think one where' it's a set of film with an opening "this is a public service announcement" in the first panel, a blank "insert latest craze here" panel, and then something like the current.

Fight smart, not fair.

I think the idea behind the image was how the ad caused a bit of controversy in such that it led to fear of homosexuals.
