stop the madness nancy and whitney

Uh, this, my friends, is a 1985 anti-drug video starring Nancy Reagan and whole gang of future crack-heads, most notably Whitney Houston. Anybody remember it? (via Boing Boing)

Tim Ried (among other things, creator of Frank's Place) is credited as a writer/creator for the video, and if press your warm cheek against the cool surface of the screen, you can about feel his hopeful, good-vibration belief in the power of mass media to transform the inner life of a passively consuming viewer. So innocent! So gentle!

I can see that you're an affectionate curator of Mr. Schwarzenegger's early work.

Also, I don't ever, ever want to see Nancy Reagan's face again.
