TVOntario For Stoners

By Amanda Buckiewicz

We here at Torontoist don’t usually condone the consumption of mind-altering substances. However, when we find a remixed version of a TVO anti-drug video that is the equivalent of seven hits of acid, we just have to share.
Back in the winter of 2000, two film students discovered the 1984 film in the archives of the Boston Public Library. John-Paul Bouchard and Joe Kowalski re-edited the movie and threw in some new audio tracks and some special effects.
The results are, dare we say, horrifying. It gets a bit tedious at times, but when you see Muffy the rhyming mouse from Today’s Special headbanging to some wicked metal, it’s all worth it.
Many thanks to BoingBoing for sharing this gem with us.

    Stupid.

    Man, that sucks.
    Watch this instead. Someone who can’t play the drums or the piano… playing the drums and the piano.

    doesn’t condone? torontoist cannot overlook drug use and finds it unforgivable?

    Does anyone remember that anti drug smuggling video, ‘Gambit’, that they used to show on YTV?

    Torontoist: Just Say No.
    But on to business: That’s not Muffy, and that wasn’t Today’s Special.

    That was 8 different kinds of horrifying. I only made it through 3 minutes before getting nauseous and turning it off.

    I watched the whole cursed thing.
    Am I going to die?
