Lost in Translation

Check this out, the picture was supposed to promote not to use or stay away from drugs. However the translation was misleading, "hide drugs". I do not know what's the hidden agenda behind this translation. But its quite funny...hehehehhe..

moral of the story? Indonesian officials are either :
1. So d**b sampe2 cari translation di kamus aja salah
2. So smart karena bisa put hidden agenda di iklan (although still d**b)
3. So cunning karena mereka sengaja meng"encourage" orang2 yg ngerti English buat "hide it", at the same time yg gak ngerti buat "jauhi narkoba"
