Stop the madness... Stop the madness NOW!

Via BoingBoing, comes the announcement of the uncovering of a rare and precious historical gem. STOP THE MADNESS is a 1985 anti-drug music video featuring Arnold Schwarzeneggar (confirmed pot smoker), Whitney Houston (a true anti-drug crusader), the Goodyear Blimp (its oh-so-high up in the sky), David Hasselhoff (just a straight-up loser), and yes, even First Lady Nancy Reagan.

The lyrics are priceless, but the video is even better (or worse, depending on how you look at it).

I believe that together you and I can save a life today.

We can stop a killer from reaching into minds and throwing lives away.

Drugs are causing pain and everyone's a loser in this deadly game that's played.

It's insanity. We know that dope is slavery.

And you know we've got to be free ... come on now, we've got to stop the madness.

Stop the madness now
Stop the madness
Stop the madness now.

Ethan Persoff of www.ep.tc was able to get his hands on a copy of the video after making a deal with a defunct Midwest TV station. What did he have to trade to get his hands on this sweet tape, you ask? A bottle of vodka.

Only fools will tell you using drugs is really a victimless crime.

There are casualties standing at the graves of children.

Feel the tears they cry.
