One for the irony patrol - I have become addicted to an American anti-drugs website. Ooops.

As everyday tales of high school folk go, it struggles a little, or perhaps things have just changed. F'r example, in Episode 8 Ethan (who we already know is the morally ambiguous, weak one because he copied an essay from the Internet) got a "baggie" of "weed" from his "cousin" at a "comic book convention". Now, I may just be indulging in unnecessary geekbashing, but for all the many, many good things on offer at comic book conventions, I find it very hard to believe that they are much more likely to provide free drugs than they are to hand out oral sex. Well, not unless you pretend to be the Borg Queen and you don't mind smelling of corn snacks, anyway.

The irony is made only more perfect by the absolute lack thereof on the site itself. The hip young message board reserves the right to edit any correspondence advocating the use of illegal or harmful drugs. Matthew Lillard is asked for his "anti-drug". That's the guy who plays unshaven, perpetually-hungry, going-out-with-a-girl-called-Mary-Jane Shaggy.

Nice.

So what's your anti-drug tell me. Or tell them. I'm going to see if "self-harm - that's my anti-drug" gets through the net.
