Potions that cure herpes? Amnesia spells that help you pickpocket? If only! Canadian resident Frederic sent us a link for Quebec campaign to curb drugs, unprotected sex and gambling. The campaign is called "You Only Have One Life" and incorporates gaming so that the kiddies get the message. (The kiddies love gaming, or so we hear.) There's a website, which has all the spots. Basically, they show young people getting into trouble and then making Final Fantasy-type reference like that they're going to reset their health or take a potion. Fairly sophisticated and slick as hell, but still guilty of showing gamers out of touch with reality. For our non-French speaking readers, Frederic was kind enough to translate the clips. All of them at that! Hit the jump for that.

Le Rave (The Rave)

Girl: (giggles) What are you doing? Genevieve? Okay, Okay, everything is gonna be okay. HEEEEY! Can you hear me? Stay with me! Ok, we're gonna put your Lifebar at 100%, backstep, and go back to the first level, okay... We'll start the night properly...

La route (The road)

Teen1: What the hell? Didn't you see the stop sign?

Teen2: Hey, i wasn't concentrating, okay!

Teen1: Dude, you smoked way too much.

Teen 2: Oh no! Do i have red eyes?

Teen1: Coming, he's coming. What do we do now?

Teen 2: Ok, I only have to use my potion that i obtained in the last level, and can come back into normal mode.
