Perspective Section[edit]

This section comes off as incredibly biased, and mostly repeats what is already in the Criticism section. I propose that we delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.29.93.56 (talk) 07:34, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request for help[edit]

I created the This Is Your Brain On Drugs article. I have been unable to confirm which year the version of that ad with Rachael Leigh Cook was broadcast. Can someone please take the trouble to find this out. The only source I can find on the matter said 1998 - which I put in the article - but I have a strong feeling this is incorrect. Thanks, Aaron Jethro

Specific Commercials[edit]

It's cool that this article mentioned the "This Is Your Brain on Drugs" commercial, since that one is the most famous. However, perhaps I'm asking too much, but I'd really like to see a detailed list of all the PDFA commercials. It would just be interesting to have a log of even more of the famous and not-quite-so-famous ones.

For instance, there was one PDFA ad I remember from being a child that really scared me. It was a slideshow of the most famous people who died of drug overdoses, including Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. I just remember that clicking sound the slideshow machine made. It still gives me chills to this day, yet I'm eager to find it. However, I've looked on YouTube, but I can't locate it. It would at least be nice to know when this commercial and others went into production, and what the general gist of it was. I could try my best to get started on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burkemancometh (talkcontribs) 00:28, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism[edit]

The end of this section seems written from a POV and lacks citations.Plumlogan (talk) 12:29, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

balance[edit]

I tagged this article as reading like an advertisment because the introduction looks like something that would very likely be written by the group themselves and the rest of the article states no issues about them except their funding. Other issues such as the honesty of their ads and the effectiveness is not stated. Crd721 (talk) 18:28, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
