OK, but what would it do if you stuck a cow in it? -- hot dogs!

I bet mobsters would love this.

The DEA and the RCMP both agree that its dangerous to educate the public about the difference in drugs. When conducting the War on Drugs they categorize Marijuana with Heroine and Meth, there is no difference to them.

Personally I am all for drug enforcement, I have old friends who have had bad experiences with hard drugs. It's very easy for a kid to become a drug dealer and as long as marijuana is illegal it will always be a stepping stone for teenage dealers and the friends they deal too. As kids grow up there will always be the gangsta/mobster/kingpin wannabees who move on to sell harder drugs. DEA and RCMP should be using their billions of dollars to tackle the drugs and dealers that actually harm communities.

In my neighbourhood we have peaceful adult pot dealers who are cool, calm, relaxed and working individuals, but we also have shady hard dealers who bring riff raff into our neighbourhood. The cops all over north america treat the pot dealers the same as hard dealers, I feel most people agree that with the money spent on the "war on drugs" is being spent inefficiently, I would hope our society isn't going to spend another decade practicing the status quo of throwing people in jail. Hard drug use is up up up we are failing, time to fix it. After all it is our tax money that pays for this system.

needs a purpose for promote? other videosift shirts around the world? in front of the statue of liberty, wrapped around some mobsters being buried in concrete, etc.

I was curious about any followup activity on this. So far I haven't found much, but some more interesting background I got a LOL out of.

A check of court records shows Kuehnlein [the officer in this story] himself pleaded guilty of assault and stealing in two different cases, in 1988 and 1990. He successfully petitioned a judge in St. Louis County in 1998 to expunge his criminal record, which was making it hard for him to get work as a cop.

The judge ordered those records sealed, as well as records of an acquittal for drunken driving and an assault arrest that did not result in charges.

...

Five years ago, an administrative commission upheld an accusation that Uhrig [the police chief who suspended Kuehnlein] propositioned a 17-year-old girl for sex during a traffic stop in 2000, when he was an Arnold officer.

Cole told investigators that Uhrig had her drive to an empty parking lot where he spoke of jail, petted her arm and face, told her she was "beautiful, hot, and tempting," and suggested a "quickie."

...

Police misconduct is an old story in St. George. In 1981, Chief Milton Russell Schepp worked with the so-called "Syrian underworld" to plant a bomb in a car driven by mobster Paul J. Leisure. Leisure survived the blast, and Schepp went to prison.


Did you catch that last bit? A former police chief set up a car bomb. This sounds like a great place to live, with real role-model cops to help you through your daily life!


Edit: This seems to be a good place to keep up on what develops: http://www.zimbio.com/Brett+Darrow

All of the lyrics to the song:

Intro:
Yo, are you a pimp, a hustler?
No I'm not.
Are you a man, and can you stand alone like a man has to sometimes?
Yes I can.
Are you willing, to go out there and save the lives of our children,
even if it means losing your own life?
Yes I am.
I believe you Jeru, you're ready.
'You've no-no-nothing to worry about'

Verse One:
Now, I don't push a Lex
Others had their turn to flex, Jeru is up next
All, these so called players up in the rap game
Got brothers on the corner selling cooked cocaine
It used to be LaToya and, jim hats
But now it's uzis macs and, g-packs of cracks
Everybody's psycho or some type of goodfellow
But me I keep it real that's all swine like jello
Don't drink Cristal, and I can't stand Mo
Never received currency for moving a kilo
Or an ounce, make em bounce to this fake-pimp free flow
I never knew hustlers, confessed in stereo
Or on video get caught you'll know who turned State's
Evidence, murder weapon, confession and fingerprints
Mama always said watch what comes out your mouth
Tight case for the DA from here to down South
Knowledge wisdom understanding like King Solomon's wealth
You're a player but only because you be playin yourself

Chorus:
With all that Big Willie talk, hop, you're, playin yaself
With all that big gun talk, bop, you're, playin yaself
With all that rah rah rah, you're, playin yaself
You're, playin yaself, you're, playin yaself
With all that rah rah rah, you're, playin yaself
With all that big gun talk, bop, you're, playin yaself
With all that Big Willie talk, hop, you're, playin yaself
You're, playin yaself, you're, playin yaself

Verse Two:
Now these ladies is lookin pretty from city to city
I refined a few I met, around the country
The nitty gritty, it's all reality, no question
Actual fact like tight jeans cause yeast infections
And sisters with good minds, get no respect when
Their ass is all hangin out, playin the bar section
of the club shake what your mama gave ya, back to the lab
I drop the truth, cause rhyming is more than just my craft
Or a way to get ass, or fast cash, or blasted
Black women, make sure you're respected
When niggaz is kickin that old off the wall shit, let em know
from jump: "Dead it", you're not ignorant
Knowledge wisdom understanding is the key to wealth
Put some clothes on that ass if you respect yourself

Chorus:
With those hooker type wears hon you're, playin yaself
With those skin tight jeans baby you're, playin yaself
Everything all exposed you're, playin yaself
You're, playin yaself, you're, playin yaself
Everything all exposed you're, playin yaself
With those skin tight jeans baby you're, playin yaself
With those hooker type wears hon you're, playin yaself
You're, playin yaself, you're, playin yaself

Verse Three:
Now, I don't bust a tec, bubble drugs
in the projects, or use mics to sell sex
Niggaz, nowadays is all about this
So much ying yang, it's ridiculous
If you got so much cheese where are the black distributors
And these record companies shake em down like mobsters
But impostors, like commercial locks are not rastas
Always fakin moves, never, makin moves
Asses shake, bottles pop, the government is breakin down
you fools, you work all week and give the devil back his loot
for jewels, and the steak on your plate is filled
with chemicals, still, brothers leave brothers
all battered and bruised, on the streets
Won't see snakes on my feet
The race is on, but I won't compete
In this competition, because I have a greater mission
I hope that you listen
Knowledge wisdom and understanding brings, long life
and health, think anything else and ya playin yaself

Chorus:
So all that Big Willie talk, hop, you're, playin yaself
And all those skin tight jeans hon you're playin yaself
And all that rah rah rah, you're, playin yaself
You're, playin yaself, you're, playin yaself
And all those hooker type wears baby you're playin yaself
And all that big gun talk money you're playin yaself
Everything all exposed you're, playin yaself
You're, playin yaself, you're, playin yaself
'I don't play'

I guess it would be problematic to shift to mobsters in general. That would cover a variety of cultures.

If I had found one, I was going to post a clip from "Men of Respect" - "Macbeth" with mobsters.

I'm sorry it hasn't worked out.

Maybe I can find an Anette Funicello vid - when I get back from seeing "Spidey!"

Italian mobsters are looking at this with macabre thoughts in their minds...

Sublime. Hopper's character redeems himself and saves his son via "suicide by mobster".

May I please be the first to call "fake" on this ad? Very well done, but reminds one of the Volkswagen Polo ad from a while back... http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=3040.

Krupo, you posted that one too. I think it's even the same actor/driver fellow, this time playing a mobster instead of a Palestinian terrorist.
