    Does anyone remember Channel 1? They made contracts with schools to play the propaganda every day and they put a shitty TV on an arm in every room. I don’t know who paid Channel 1. This would be late 90s.

      I sure do. In exchange for those free TVs we had to watch 30 seconds of awkward middle schoolers doing a news report followed by 6 teen spirit perfume commercials in a row every homeroom period.

        I used to be good friends with one of the guys who did the anti smoking ads. Do you remember “Why do they put all this crap in dip?” That guy. I met him at a huge college party, outside, smoking a cigarette. I was like holy shit you’re a fucking hypocrite, how does that feel? And we were friends for years after.
