A scene repeated countless* times during the 80s and 90s:
"Hey man, wanna do these drugs I have here?"
"Nah, William S. Sessions says not to"
"Who?"
"You know, William S Sessions! Director of the F.B.I."
"Oh right. Guess we mustn't then"

FBI was more focused on self-promotion then on actually fighting drugs. 90% of the screen is dedicated to the FBI logo, which kids just don't care about. But, as an advertiser, the majority of marketing campaigns directed to kids fail to properly communicate with them and are just a waste of money.

- victor22 11y agoWhile I agree it could be due to this reason, it still was a bad call in my opinion, because a scare tactic is totally disconnected with their motivational slogan below the logo.
