Any questions?
If you remember actress Rachel Leigh Cook in the "This is Your Brain on Drugs" PSA, you probably still feels differently about eggs and drugs. Twenty years later, the She's All That star recreates that famous PSA.
The 1997 PSA had the actress bashing an egg with a frying pan, followed by smashing everything around her to show the effects of taking heroin.
The new anti-drug commercial features the actress holding a white egg that represents one of millions of Americans, who uses drugs and won't get arrested. She then holds up the brown egg, which represents the American that is "several times more likely to be charged with a drug crime."
The 37-year-old asks the audience to "imagine it's you," as she runs through the animated scenarios for the brown egg.
From court hearings to job prospects to the likelihood of being offered financial aid, even for the future of its children, the brown egg's life is drastically different from the white egg's future even though both eggs committed similar crimes.
"The war on drugs is ruining people's lives," Rachel says, as she puts down the frying pan. "It fuels mass incarceration. It targets people of color in greater numbers than their white counterparts. It cripples communities. It costs billions. And it doesn't work."
Reminiscent of the last line in the 1997 commercial, Rachel asks at the end, "Any questions?"
