Still from the Partnership for a Drug-Free America's first Public Service Announcement (PSA), launched in 1987 on the ABC Television Network: "This Is Your Brain on Drugs". A man picks up a egg and says "This is your brain" and points to hot oil in a pan stating "this is drugs" before breaking and frying the egg and saying: "This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?" The Partnership was created by a small group of advertising professionals in 1986 who believed if adverts could make you buy something maybe they could be used to stop you doing something. This often parodied TV commercial is regarded as one of the best commercials of all time. A second version was later filmed in 1997. Credit: Partnership for a Drug-Free America/Contraband Collection
