The OTHER Way!
The Bureau For At-Risk Youth of Plainview, N.Y., has recalled an “anti-drug” pencil it was giving to local school children.
The pencils have the slogan “Too Cool to Do Drugs” on them, but as the pencils are sharpened down, the message becomes “Cool to Do Drugs” and, later, “Do Drugs”. When shown the unintended message, a spokesperson for the Bureau noted the group was “actually a little embarrassed that we didn’t notice that sooner.”
The pencils will be redone with the message text printed in the other direction. …Then they can start work on the pencils that read, “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk”.
