Every here and again, a new batch of folks seem to stumble upon the satiric film series I co-wrote with Matt Preskenis (directed by Alan Harris), “I AM DRUGS,” winner of the 2005 ECNY Award for best short film, ahem.

And 9 times out of a largely retarded 10, these folks deposit a treasure trove of long posts sharing their misguided wrath. The scariest thing is that most of the time, people don’t seem to understand that the 5 shorts are just a joke. That’s all. A goof. You know, for laughs.

However it’s almost an honor that some folks don’t know it’s fake, which is always a sign of strong satire, ahem again, mingling the mimicking and mocking seamlessly enough that it’s hard to tell the intention of the creators…at first.

But it’s partly a horror too.

The description of the short series is right there to see for F’s sake:
a five spot pro-drug PSA campaign. First appeared in the comedy sketch show “The Rise and Fall of Saturday Night.”

If that doesn’t red flag it for ya, by the time you get to, I don’t know, say the second short film in the series, you should be pretty aware it’s comedy, that we’re making fun of actual PSA’s about staying off drugs, that we purposefully created worst case scenarios for our spokesmen to sound off about proudly.

Unless you’re 90% of Youtube viewers.

Sigh.

And now, I’d like to share with you, once again, I AM DRUGS parts 1-5. Each short will be followed by a screen grab of some of the latest, greatest comments. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Which is impossible. Since my joy is fueled by hate…which is limitless.

Like Cthuhlu.
