Don’t Do Drugs
Remember those “this is your brain on drugs” commercials? Dirk Nowitzki has done them one better with this compelling say no to drugs spot that is running in Germany. At least I think it is a say no to drugs spot. Is it me, or is the kid in the commercial a young Little Bow-Wow?? Anyway, it’s a bit of an abstract piece, in that it shows Dirk playing defense on the kid, and then he actually passes to the kid as well….hey, lay off, in commercial land you can be anything you want! Honestly, you really can’t rag a guy for doing an anti-drug commercial, so kudos to Dirk, even if I thought the “do you want to pet my monkey” guy from Saturday Night Live was about to jump into the scene.

By the way, I attempted to translate the two phrases that appear at the end of the commercial and came up with the following. If anyone knows German or can do a better job of translation please do, because the second phrase makes little sense to me.

Gib Drogen Einen Korb: Give Drugs One Basket

Hi, i am from Austria, neighbour country to Germany. We speak German too.
To give a basket = einen Korb geben
means to say no to something.
The phrase is normally used if a boy wants to date a girl, but she says no. She doesn’t want to date him so she “gibt ihm einen Korb”.
Got it!?
Yeah, I guess so. Thanks for your input-
