Attention, stoners! The pot's not real -- VIDEO

The billboard advertisements for Showtime's Weeds are driving stoners crazy in New Zealand. The billboards are three dimensional, with giant bags of pot bulging off of them. New Zealanders keep stealing the "pot" from the billboards, so the advertising company set up security cameras to catch the thieves in the act. At least one stoner takes a tumble while trying to score some major weed. It's just the latest in Weeds' creative promotion campaigns that have included brownies, scratch-and-sniff pot fliers, and the tagline, "Putting herbs in the suburbs".

Security camera video is after the jump.

Who wouldn't want that? Think of the jokes.

"Nah, I don't smoke at all..." and then there's this massive 8 foot tall bag of pot on the otherside of the room.

Nah, I don't think they were that stupid. I think Lee is on to something: they probably just wanted the giant bag of pot for a decoration.
