We’ve been talking a lot about guilty pleasures here at the Shattered Lens. Most people, when they hear the term “guilty pleasure” assume that the term applies only to film and the occasional episode of Ringer. However, I would argue that there are wonderful guilty pleasures all around us. You just have to be willing to look.
One of my favorite guilty pleasures is watching anti-drug PSAs that feature either incorrect or nonexistent slang. As an example, allow me to offer you this little gem from the whole Above The Influence anti-drug campaign. In this one, a student in a diner learns that choosing not to get “twisted” guarantees you a free meal.
I love this commercial almost as much as I love the “A.J” Broadview Home Security commercial and that’s saying something!
That’s fine, until you realize “get twisted” is nerd-talk for “do homework,” and “hit the books” is slang for “shoot heroine with hookers.”
Almost as good as that miscellaneous daytime talkshow that was going to explain
