drugs

I wonder if he ever thought about why no other dealers where asking, "Oh do you want your receipt?"

BBC's Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville got a little loopy when reporting a bit too close to a pile of burning opium, her0in and hash in Afghanistan 4 years ago.

And now the news blooper has been posted online as a Christmas gift to his viewers.

"Dear tweeps, it's been a year of bullets & bloodshed. You've earned a xmas laugh, at my expense," he wrote on Twitter, with a link to the video entitled "Don't inhale."

Both the original Tweet and the video have since been removed, but numerous copies were already uploaded.

According to a BBC spokesman, "The video of Quentin corpsing, which has now been deleted, was posted in the spirit of a blooper. It was filmed four years ago – it hasn't been seen before and was never broadcast."

Sommerville continued to joke about the incident on Twitter.

The idea behind these videos is that pot makes you slow, like a sloth... get it?  Unfortunately, any seriousness behind this message urging kids to stay away from drugs is lost as soon as a hilarious, giant sloth shows up and starts making weird grunting noises while knocking stuff down around them at a glacial pace. 



People on the Stoner Sloth Facebook page are questioning if this is real and Stoner Sloth responds!




The official Tumblr for Stoner Sloth is copyrighted by New South Wales Department of Premier and Cabinet and the governmental branding is also on the Stoner Sloth Facebook page so, yes, it really seems to be a real thing. 

If you have the patience to sit thorugh all of Nancy Grace's tirades, you're stronger than us. 

Tl;dw: Nancy Grace takes hyperbolic anecdotes of crazy people who happen to be smoking marijuana and extrapolates that to mean anyone who has ever tries the stuff becomes some kind of rage goblin.

These were actual pencils distributed during a 1990s anti-drug campaign at school. After realizing that the message subtly changes after getting sharpened, they had to be recalled. Now you can buy your own here, if that's your style.

From Arbroath:

John Arwood, 31, and Amber Campbell, 25, claimed they were chased into the closet at Daytona State College on Sunday, Daytona Beach police said. After two days in a Marine and Environmental Science Center janitor's closet, where police found human faeces and copper scouring pads sometimes used to smoke crack, Arwood called 911 from his cell phone, police said.
