Police No Longer on a Mission Try’na Find Mr Warren G
The early to mid-90s were an excellent time for that whole 'rap' thing. Yes there was still the glamourising of violence, the drugs, the objectification of women and the explicit language - but at least it didn't involve 50 Cent or P Diddy, or whatever in God's name he's called now. It was a safer time when white kids in the suburbs could dream of their gangsta heritage without fearing for how much 'bling' they were wearing, a time when people could look forward to a Tupac release that wasn't posthumous and one when Mr Warren G had released 'Regulate'. You know the song. Everyone does. It was on the soundtrack to 'Above the Rim', which wasn't as good as 'White Men Can't Jump'.

Badvertising: Anti-Drugs Commercial
Sometimes adverts just totally miss the point. Take this little doozy for example: a woefully misguided anti-drugs PSA in which a talking dog decides to harrass a teenage girl about her drug use. So - what has she been doing? Snorting three lines of coke over breakfast every morning? Jacking up a speedball during SAT revision? Rubbing blotter paper soaked in acid against her cherubic face? No. She's ... well ... ...
Tom Cruise’s Face Used To Sell Marijuana
An image of Tom Cruise laughing like a maniac is being used to sell a brand of hallucinogenic marijuana in Californian cannabis clubs. It has even been named in his honour.
Somewhat ironically though, the news hasn’t brought a smile to Tom Cruise’s face, and his lawyers are believed to be looking into the matter. Who would have thought Tom Cruise x Weed = anything other than the most self-obsessed giggle fit in history?
According to the NY Daily News’ Rush & Molly column, the product is being marketed as ‘Tom Cruise Purple’, and one 'weed devotee' told them:
