The Every 15 Minutes program has had great success in opening the eyes of these kids that think they can drink and drive and nothing bad will happen to them. Even though they know it's not real, it is very emotional and disturbing, but also very effective. However, telling kids, out of the blue, that their friends were killed in accidents as a hoax is beyond cruel.
I was in class when our professor told us that a classmate and good friend of mine had died in an accident, and 15 years later I remember my and my classmates' shock like it was yesterday. Unfortunately, with my friend it was true. But to put kids thru that inexplicable pain and then say "gotcha!", that is not right.
Just like 112 is nothing, since it's a dry heat.
