Gay men and uppers go together like peanut butter and chocolate. It's just the way God wanted it. But that hasn't stopped Joel Schumacher's "I Lost Me to Meth" campaign from saturating San Francisco, even though meth use is down as of last year, before the campaign began.
Addendums to the anti-drug campaign posters have reflected all kinds of sentiments to the most recent effort to get the homosexuals off the crazy crack. Here are just a few.
(Oh, and if you have any shots of altered Lost/Meth posters? Don't hesitate to send them our way. We'll add them to the pile.)
Update: Thanks for sending in more pics to the collection we've started. And keep 'em coming, dear readers. You all rock.

brock you devil - love the weight loss tag!
And to think we used to lament the lack of understanding between homophobic middle America and the gay community. What's next, double-wides in Noe Valley?
I lost ME to HumMEls. Damn you eBay! And one of those blokes looks a bit like Bez.
got one more tweaked one, as well as a proper remix, here: http://missionmission.wordpress.com/2008/04/22/ad-watch-meth-zionism/
The last one caused me to guffaw.
I wasn't smart enough to take a picture, but the bartender at Murio's had blacked out parts of the coasters so they said, "I lost me meth!"
You mean like this?

katerose26, the pirate one kills me. thanks!
also, i LOVE how this campaign just bypasses cocaine altogether.
When can I expect LOLmeths?
I still think these ads are way dreamy.
Cocaine isn't neurotoxic; there's only a short window with meth before it starts to do permanent brain damage.
I have a completely unscientific theory about the cycles of drug abuse; one drug becomes unpopular about the time an entire generation sees what it does to their friends, but they don't have direct experience of another drug, and it can't be as bad, right?
It's all very "Requiem for a Dream"; I still think of that scene between the son and the mother as being one of the most powerful condemnations of speed ever produced. The horror in the son's eyes as he realizes his mother is on speed is chilling.
meth is terrible. the gays should start using more coke, then.
I don't know if it's the barium or all the beers, but that last sample made me laugh into tears.
this one really cracked me up, not a modified poster...but certainly a response to them!!
oh man my picture did not come through.
maybe this time is the charm
Oh my God, I am in love with the oil addiction one!
