'Stoner Sloth' is Australia's Hilarious Way to Teach Kids That Drugs Are Bad, Mmkay?

The idea behind these videos is that pot makes you slow, like a sloth... get it?  Unfortunately, any seriousness behind this message urging kids to stay away from drugs is lost as soon as a hilarious, giant sloth shows up and starts making weird grunting noises while knocking stuff down around them at a glacial pace. 



People on the Stoner Sloth Facebook page are questioning if this is real and Stoner Sloth responds!




The official Tumblr for Stoner Sloth is copyrighted by New South Wales Department of Premier and Cabinet and the governmental branding is also on the Stoner Sloth Facebook page so, yes, it really seems to be a real thing.
