Pablo
December 19, 2009

I like Pablo the drug mule dog. Last year’s warning, I know, but I just wanted to proclaim my admiration and didn’t know how else to do it. Perhaps it’s his David Mitchell-voiced tones or anti-narcotic words of wisdom, or even the oh-so-ironic juxtaposition of cute and criminal. But he’s definitely another example of government-funded entertainment by way of advertising campaign. Well, for me. But then animated “that’s boggin'” uttering first-time smokers and wasted boys slurring “hows about it, eh?” never cease to entertain me. And I don’t take drugs, as a life-long goody-two shoes, so I’m not entirely sure a glazed-over mutt lecturing naughty addicts will actually result in any going-clean epiphanies. But I like it, as I said, if only just for entertainment value. Which probably isn’t the point…
