Good thing Pennsylvania elected vegetable John Fetterman and Marxist radical Josh Shapiro. As if the state wasn’t already the laughingstock of the world, even Mexico is mocking Pennsylvania. Mexico is airing anti-drug ads on their TVs, using drug addicts in the streets of Philadelphia to scare the people into Mexico to avoid drugs from the cartels. How absolutely pathetic have we become when Mexico mocks us?
You can’t really blame Mexico. But they should do some videos of drug addicts from other left wing shitholes too. Don’t forget San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Atlanta.
I expect other countries to follow Mexico’s lead and air commercials showing American drug addicts as warnings on their TV.
This is what the idiots in states and cities voted for. So let them rot for all I care.
The Mexican government is using video of homeless people and open-air drug users in Philadelphia’s embattled Kensington neighborhood in a national ad campaign to try to scare young people away from drugs.
The spots never identify the city or neighborhood shown. But just how or why the Mexican government decided to use street scenes from the U.S. to scare Mexicans — who have their own drug problems — is not clear. Critics say the ads recycle scare tactics about drugs rather than offer help or treatment.
Jesús Ramírez, the spokesman for President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, proudly presented the ad series Tuesday. But Ramírez did not respond to repeated requests for comment as to where the government got the Philadelphia videos or why they used them.
The use of the videos, apart from sparking concern over Philadelphia’s image, or whether those filmed had given their consent, raised questions, in part because Mexico is the source of most of the fentanyl being sold in the United States.
In one spot presented Tuesday entitled “Crystal” (meth), a Spanish-speaking narrator says, in a voice-over above scenes of drug users shaking or contorting along trash-strewn Kensington Avenue, “Crystal (meth) finishes you off quickly, it takes away hunger and tiredness and causes hallucinations and psychosis. It damages the body and mind.”
