Channel One News has advertised numerous movies that were age-inappropriate due to drug and alcohol content and sexual content. One of the worst was the “stoner comedy” Dude, Where’s My Car? in December, 2000 and January 2001. The entire movie was one big drug joke which normalized the use of marijuana among young people.
Obligation at the time tried to convince Channel One’s self-described “child advocate” the VP of Education Dr. Paul Folkemer to stop advertising the movie, but our efforts were in vain.
Dude, Where’s My Car? was just one of many PG13 movies that Channel One News recklessly advertised to high school and middle school students.
