I've heard of gearing a program to try to reach the younger generation, but I think that perhaps this might have gone a little too far?

"The host of a new Dutch talk show plans to take heroin and other illegal drugs on air in a program intended to reach young audiences on topics that touch their lives, producers said Wednesday."

And, it's being broadcast in the Netherlands....

"The Netherlands is known for its marijuana policy, where sale and use of the drug in small quantities are not prosecuted even though technically illegal. Other drugs, including LSD, cocaine, Ecstasy and heroin are outlawed and dealers are prosecuted. The legal age for the consumption of alcohol and tobacco is 16. "

Filemon Wesselink, who is one of the presenters, plans on ingesting heroin in the form of a pill, participating in a drinking binge in a series of pubs as well as try LSD on his couch under the supervision of his mother.

HIS.MOTHER.

"The Shoot Up & Swallow show's main hostess will interview guests about drug use and abuse, while Wesselink and another presenter will carry out in-the-field experiments with sex and drugs.

Out in-the-field experiments? Hmmmmm......

Dude...pass the crack.

Discuss.
