The new "this is your brain on drugs" spotYou remember the commercial, right? With the egg cracking into the sizzling pan, all scrambled gray cell metaphor and squishy goodness?
One would think this would be enough to keep the kids off the crack. The first hit may be free, but you could be eaten by an alligator:
From CBS News: A 45-year-old man was hospitalized after four sheriff's deputies
rescued him from the jaws of a nearly 12-foot alligator Wednesday,
while he was naked and high on crack cocaine.
He was a big gator, too, described as being "the size of a bus."
Some commenters at CBS suggested the gator was doing society a favor. That's a little too cynical, even for my chilly blood, but I do have to admit ending as swamp gravy gator grub seems a more visceral deterrent than "just say no," hmm?
*Thanks to CBS for the catchy headline.
