BANNER SENDS THE WRONG MESSAGE

Recently, a banner has been put up at the Churchill LRT station of an 
advertisement for a show called Weeds depicting a woman holding a 
plate of "pot" brownies and pot leaves. Am I the only one that finds 
this absolutely absurd? It's a major station and there are four 
schools within walking distance, two of which are high schools. When 
did it become OK to publicly parade drug addiction and to advertise 
for a show about selling drugs! It needs to come down. It's sending 
entirely the wrong message, especially in today's world. No one 
should have to see that publicly paraded let alone kids and families.
