title Anti drugs commercial: Eating your brain
description "A very graphic, but very cool anti drugs commercial that shows you are literally eating your brains bits by bits every time you take drugs." Uh-huh. There are good reasons to not take illicit substances, but couldn't they be more honest about them in a public service announcement? Metaphor, right. But as one commenter said, "That's one nasty commercial. Would it do any good except make people throw up tho?"

Is it just me, or is the use of the word "literally" for hyperbole rather like the use of <font size="+2" color="red"> for emphasis? Every time I hear that usage I want to channel Inigo Montoya.

Also "scientific" is frequently red (to be synaesthetic about it).
