It is doubtful that interactive games can educate kids that steroid use is not a good thing

“Don’t Be An Asterisk” anti-steroid campaign was established to supply people with knowledge about application of steroids, about risks linked with performance-enhancing substances within and outsides sports in order to promote ceasing taking these products.
 But ”Don’t Be An Asterisk” was in negligence during certain period of time. The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and Ad Council make the decision to restart 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 encourages the visitors to enter another new page that is on Facebook. So, they may play asterisk free there. The same page will be established 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 has an interactive soccer game. Players  have 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.
Although the game has been thought out to convince children that steroids are not safe, the results are opposite. Children find it funny to fail avoiding asterisks and to see how muscles of the interactive players become essentially enhanced. However this game is still available on the website, it is unlikely that it can educate kids that steroids are unsafe.
The chief purpose of this anti-steroid campaign is to convince children that a consumer of steroids isn’t a fair person; he\she is “fake”, a “joke” and a “poser”.
