Benjamin Curtis, the guy from the Dell commercials, was arrested after he tried to buy marijuana in New York. Eh, while I've honestly never touched the stuff*, I think marijuana laws are just silly and should be abolished, which they may be quite soon here in Canada. It's quite easy to wring hands about pot smokers supporting terrorism, but, even if those allegations hold any water (and I'm not saying they do), the situation wherein people have to buy on the balck market was created by prohibition in the first place. I wouldn't start smoking up even if it were legal, though I might be curious enough to try the occassional brownie.
Also, am I the only person that is reminded of the old Encyclopaedia Britannica commercials when I see the Dell commercials? Never the less, I do own two Dell computers myself, so I can't say the commericals aren't effective, though we were more won over by the circulars in the National Post.
*Actually, when I was in Grade 10 or 11 (11 being the final grade of high school in Quebec), I did once find on the ground at school two or three hand-rolled items in a baggie that were either cigarettes or joints, but I got wussy and flushed them down the toilet.
