Retrograv here today writing about something I managed to dig up especially since I have a large Drakoloid following on social media. The other day I found through another site a few unreleased Drakoloid commercials and one of them I found fascinating because it was advertising "electronic cigarette shop". Now Drakoloid is a kids/teen internet network that has kids and teen programming. This commercial was apparently made in a time when Drakoloid was going to be a teen based network I guess?
As I did my research on Drakoloid's extensive past, it is hard to find information on things that happened 5 years ago or longer because Drakoloid always changes and what they were in the past isn't what they are now. The shows were very different then such as Ride Roader being Drakoloid's most controversial show ever with many parent demanded fans wanting censors on the program when streamed. In 2011 in Drake Vegas mind seemed to be a fun colourful teen show that was experimental in so many ways. However it was also very vulgar with cartoon violence, coarse language that contained many innuendoes, even nudity at one point was shown on the show. A critically controversial episode was "Ride Explores The Inside" that was banned to be shown on Drakoloid by late 2012. It was an episode that was originally a dedication to The Beatles. Due to the very graphic scenery being based with Barry inside an rabbits body where Barry is in several X Rated areas, Not just that but getting high within the body as if he was on an acid trip, which lead to the music of "I Am The Walrus". This was a normal thing for Drakoloid to go through in its early years.
Now that Drakoloid is doing Psychedelic Summer, it still isn't as risque as some of there earlier content. The only content that gets controversy ever is ARTic, Rock The Basement and Teenhood with innuendoes in lines. Getting back to my point is that Drakoloid use to be a network where "anything goes and its ok for your kids to see that". I think releasing this commercial back then would of really proven that point further. It surprises me Drake Vegas is advertising a vape shop that is not for minors however I know many people who smoke who are a minor and always trying to get E-Cigarettes so maybe thats why this came about.. maybe Drake Vegas loves him some E-Cigarette himself (I mean look at Ride Roader it seemed like he was on something when making that show with Kemp Easton) maybe Drake wanted to try something different? who knows?
