A parody public-service announcement under the yellow caption "Requiring truth in advertising was a bad idea." A blond man in a suit stands against a stylized blue backdrop, pointing at the viewer like a classic anti-drug spokesman, and says, "Kids, certain drugs are not cool." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the same man finishes the thought, revealing the blunt "truthful" message: "Meth is just cocaine for losers."
