It's hard to be scared by something that doesn't existed but perhaps Sadako and Kayako's legend is way too deeply acknowledged in the Japanese culture that it might have that sort of shot that may destroyed the bump. Well, good for them.

I'm unsure if this anti-drug campaign with Kayako & Sadako will be effective in deterring drug use, but at least it'll let allow folks a chance to enjoy a free watch of horror entertainment. Wink

If they're on enough drugs they might actually get scared by this, otherwise I don't really see this doing anything

If they wanted to "scare" us, they might have tried doing it before doing the baseball stunt... Rolling Eyes
Now it's just getting pop-culture goofy.

(And I didn't see the US Ring and Grudge parodies in Scary Movie 3, but they still deserved better.
Well, Sadako did, anyway. Kayako and the Kid were always sort of goofy, since she was too Zombie to be Ghost, and that "rotting throat" shtick always sounded like me after a long soda burp.)

It's cool that quasi-legal drugs (in many ways, worse than the lightest of the illegal drugs) are getting adressed by the police... But I'd prefer if they stopped arresting drug consumers, treating them as criminals rather than helping out with any addiction.
