South Dakota reportedly paid an advertising firm $449,000 to develop its new anti-meth campaign. The firm came up with the slogan, “Meth. We’re on it.”

The public reaction, so far, hasn't been kind.

The slogan reminds me of a Firesign Theatre line: "We take drugs pretty seriously at our house, too."

Someone was on something. A major IQ suppressor apparently.
