I've just discovered Reason Online. Some excellent articles on a huge range of topics. I had to post this one though, since I've seen these ads and was equally annoyed by them.

What makes the ads especially galling, however, is that the violence they cite (to the extent that it really is related to the drug trade) would not be occurring if it weren't for the war on drugs. By creating a black market, prohibition replaces peaceful businessmen with violent criminals. It generates artificial profits for thugs, guerillas, and terrorists.

Amen, brother!
