Stupid Stoners Steal Fake Weed, Net Puts Surveillance Video on YouTube

weeds_billboard_nz_steal.jpg

Because it’s hard to believe anyone would be stupid enough to think a sandwich bag filled with fake weed was real on a Prime TV billboard in New Zealand promoting the Showtime series Weeds and try to steal it, this “surveillance” video released on YouTube just seems like another planned social media promotion. Not that that’s a bad thing but we just wonder about the intelligence of those in this video. The video shows people trying to pull weed-like substance out of the big bag affixed to the board and ends with “$429 Reward. To the stoner who ruined our Weeds Billboard: please call 021 682526 to return the missing buds. Please.” Oh wait, those stupid people are paid social media actors. Silly us. How could we have thought otherwise? Oh wait again. This is supposed to be funny. OK, now we’re laughing.

Psychology says the reason older adults return to the music of their teens and twenties isn’t sentimentality, it’s neurological self-medication — those songs are stored in a part of the brain that bypasses current distress and delivers them directly to a period when the nervous system felt safe, and pressing play on a 1970s album is the cheapest and most effective emotional regulation tool most people over 60 have access to
