Skins Opening Title

This is the opening title to the most recent series of Skins. It shows drug use and drinking in a 'glorified' way, showing the teenagers having lots of fun. It also uses bright and bold colours to connote excitement associating with the drug and alcohol use.

We Found Love Music Video

This Rihanna music video shows a lot of drug use, and the drugs are also shown in bright colours to create excitement. For someone like Rihanna who is a role model to lots of children and teenagers, glorifying drugs in the way she has in this video has caused a lot of controversy.
