What the Funk?

|

From freevibe.com, the government-sponsored Web site that tries to be cool while lecturing kids about the evils of drugs:

You want the Funk? We've got the Funk! This ringtone will get you in the groove and remind you where to go to get the facts on drugs. And remember, you have the power to stop your friends from using drugs or alcohol. That's right–your cell phone is a powerful way to help start a conversation with a friend who might be using drugs.

The ringtone consists of what sounds like music from a '70s porn movie overlayed by a self-consciously hip announcer who manages to make you want to smack him just by intoning the four syllables "free-vibe-dot-com." How could that possibly "help start a conversation with a friend who might be using drugs"? Here's one scenario:

Friend: "Dude, your ringtone is way cool."

You: "Are you high?"
