You don't have to go out of your way. Different versions have been showing up on content aggregators, the front page of social news sites like Digg and Reddit, and passed around on social networking sites and forums for years now. It's not impossible to have missed them, but it is a bit surprising, especially for a more net-savvy community like this.
Yeah, I never visit news sites and I rarely use any social networking sites (only Facebook and not very often), so I've never seen it either.
I think the meth ads are generally state initiatives. I know I've seen them everywhere, but some people who live in other states, holes in the ground, or other planets could have not seen them.

Yeah Meth isn't a real big problem in a lot of places so most states don't have the campaign, but I've seen them because of the internet.

Also, the only time I remember actually seeing an actual meth freakout in actual person was driving through Bellevue.
We were all stopped at a red light, and some dude in a red Jetta had gotten out of his car and was knocking on people's windows. I was all "The fuck is this, please don't come over here, ugh, I hate everyone," but the light turned green, so he went back to his car and we all pulled away.
A few blocks later, I pull up to the next red light, and see that he is now driving his Jetta around and around in circles in the intersection. Obviously no one else is trying to get through, because what the fuck is going on? He makes a few circuits and eventually his circle gets off-center enough that he has to stop.
He gets out of the car, climbs on top, and starts taking off all his clothes. Since he's now stopped, some vehicles start trying to get by him, including a UPS truck, which he throws a shoe at, hitting it and causing me to think to myself "two points."
Fortunately, he was stopped on the left side of the intersection as I was facing it, so our lanes of traffic could get through the intersection and I was gone before he managed to strip off his underwear. I called 911, not because I felt like anyone was in any particular danger, but more because this seems like the kind of thing they'd be interested in. Apparently some cops arrived not long after and gave him a good Tasing.

That picture with the girl and the spider? I looked at that girl for two whole minutes before I even noticed the spider existed. This says things about me, I know.

There's a new thing in...India, I think? Where people are letting themselves get bitten by cobras to get high.
Nah, this isn't new, and it isn't only in India... There was just recently a story about it in India, which was then picked up by some news outlets including NPR, and was a question on the weekend NPR show "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me," but isn't anything new. Chuck Pahlaniuk, author of Fight Club, wrote a book called "Rant," published in 2007, where the titular character was all about getting high by snake bites and spider bites...
Man, this girl who lived in my apartment block started doing heavy drugs and over the course of a year I could see her slip. She was gorgeous but by the end if it she was rake thin, scabby as fuck and stank.
She'd obviously lost her job because she went from wearing nice office clothes, heading out to work at the same time as I went to school, to loitering around the apartment block in trackpants.
When her and her dodgy boyfriend moved out, they abandoned their car in the carpark and left their front door pulled off it's hinges, it was the saddest fucking thing
Last week they shut down a whole section of highway in my town because the police pulled over a truck with a trailer that turned out to be a mobile meth lab and they ended up having to call in the haz-mat team.
there's an anti-drug commercial I remember that did a song based on another commercial song that I can't really place but it was like "I don't sleep / I don't eat / but I've got the cleanest house on the street! Ooh, meth!"
argh why isn't it on youtube, that song was really catchy
I have a coworker who once did meth. She once told me that it took her six whole months sober before she could laugh without being high, and when she did, it was one of the happiest moments of her life.

Did you know, you can be prescribed pharmaceutical meth? It's called Desoxyn. That's right, meth has passed FDA approval. All the bad shit associated with meth use is really more of a side effect of impure synthesis, overuse, the poverty of the average user, and bad habits that are exacerbated by the drug. Check out the 72 hour party people to see what upper class people using meth 'responsibly' (ie, not every day, with money made by selling stolen electronics) is like.
Oh my god the wikipedia entry on Gargamel is a masterpiece
Gargamel lives in a run-down, though solidly built hovel with his mangy cat Azrael (not to be confused with Azrael, the archangel of death).
Gargamel is an eternal bungler. Some of his schemes to catch Smurfs border on the bizarre (such as a "blue magnet" that attracted solely blue items), though he does have rare moments of genius (the creation of Smurfette, for one).
One time, Gargamel almost actually got married. His "mummy" decided it was high time he took a wife and introduced him to a lovely princess, who didn't really love him. He didn't really have any feelings for the princess either... until he saw in her hope chest a definitive map to the Smurf Village and then proclaimed his love for her and accepted her hand in marriage. (Of course, he still didn't love her, just the map to the Smurf Village.)

my cousin started using meth when she was 13-14 because she hung around a lot of older/sketchy ass people and they got her started. her family finally got her in rehab when she was like 16, though. i remember when she was using it though because she just looked awful. she always looked dirty and sick, and anorexic. it was pretty awful.
she was a real cool person though, before and after the whole meth ordeal.

THEN METH IS FOR YOU!

Don't do meth, kiddos.

They should use that story as an anti-drug ad.
That was the most depressing thing I've read; one sitting on a laptop and another watching lots of porn. You need meth to do that why?
Just be all "oh yeah that's my crazy demon statue made from weapons-grade meth, cost me 5 grand, no big deal"

Without them I wouldn't want to do anything or give effort into anything.
I am worried about the long term effects though. Thankfully I don't get all drugged out just focused and energized.
