*promote #stonersloth

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Saturday, December 19th, 2015 1:25pm PST - promote requested by original submitter MrFisk.

Ok, so I could not believe this was serious and had to do some research.

Hilariously, it is 100% real and was created by NSW goverment folks in Aussieland as anti-weed propaganda. It has gone viral, but it's suffered some setbacks:

1. The actual scientists that were supposed to back up the NSW psa ads, after seeing the actual ads, completely removed support for them.

2. The website actually was linking to stonersloth.com if you didn't type the URL exactly right. What is that website, you ask? Only an online cannabis store...

3. Mike Baird, the NSW Premier, was unaware of the ads. After seeing them, he posted "Just saw the #stonersloth ads, not sure where [they] found Chewbacca's siblings, but those videos are...quite something." Not a rousing sign of support from your boss, really.

This whole series is speciest against sloths. What's up with those bigoted bastards at NSW (whatever that stands for)?

Hypocritical oversight? How can you make an anti-pot PSA that takes place at a party where people are drinking?

I feel sorry for all you stoners. Having to come down once a week to take a shit must be horrible on your bowels.

Between this and the Zootopia trailer, there's a lot of work for anthropomorphic sloths these days.

I bet this would be even more humorous if I were stoned!

Meh. If it's a choice between not being able to pass the salt and liver damage/throat and mouth cancer I know which I'd choose.

'You're worse on weed'

Yeah, but at least you're adorable and funny. Can't say that about booze.
