Interactive games are unlikely to create the perception among children that a steroid user is “fake”

The anti-steroid campaign “Don’t Be An Asterisk” was organized to provide people with knowledge about intake of steroids, about risks connected with performance-enhancing drugs within and outsides sports in order to promote discontinuing using these medicines.
 But this campaign was neglected during certain period of time. The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and Ad Council make the decision to reinvigorate activities of this campaign. It was decided to create a new gateway page for the website and to change the name from the “Don’t Be an Asterisk” to the “Play Asterisk Free”.
The new website for “Play Asterisk Free” has links and leads to the initial “Don’t Be Asterisk” that has remained uncharged for over 2 years. This site promotes the visitors to visit another new page which is on Facebook. So, they may play asterisk free there. The same page will be created on Twitter with the same name “Play Asterisk Free”. So, the popular social media will promote spreading the messages of the campaign.
The initial website DontBeAnAsterisk.com includes an interactive soccer game. Players  are encouraged to score goals avoiding the asterisks. The asterisks represent anabolic steroids. If the interactive players don’t avoid the asterisks, they become much more muscular.
However the game has been thought out to educate children that steroids are dangerous, the results are turned to be opposite. Children find it funny to fail avoiding asterisks and to observe how muscles of the interactive soccer players become significantly increased. However this game is still available on the website, it is unlikely that it can teach children that steroids must not be taken.
The chief purpose of this anti-steroid campaign is to teach children that a consumer of steroids isn’t a fair person; he\she is “fake”, a “joke” and a “poser”.
