Sonny Bono's 1970 anti-pot PSA

Sonnybonopotpsa2 A little afternoon theater: Sonny Bono narrated this ironic anti-marijuana PSA in 1970. The scene with the car is my favorite.

Sad to say, but Sonny really looks like he's stoned in that video.

The Residents used a bit of it for one of their silly Timmy videos:

Wait, there's a LONGER Sonny Bono anti-drug film than this, wonder if that's up on you tube someplace? It's the longer one they showed in schools, it has crazy stuff in it like a guy looking in a mirror and seeing a werewolf...

The grammar in this ad is terrible. It makes me wonder if the writer of the narration was stoned too.
