Square Enix should make a "This Is Your Brain On Drugs" commercial featuring Tifa
I was just looking up random facts about various Final Fantasy characters' voice actors, when I came across something about an anti-drug use commercial called This Is Your Brain On Drugs.

This commercial was made back in 1998, and featured then 18-year-old actress Rachael Leigh Cook (Tifa Lockhart). The commercial depicts her taking a frying pan and beating a kitchen senseless with it, while she says things to symbolize what being a drug addict will do to you.
Of course, she is better known for her roles in She's All That and Josie and the Pussycats, but I found this out too. And of course, Steve Burton (Cloud Strife) is also known for his role in General Hospital.
After seeing this commercial, I also heard about a parody of it on Robot Chicken (which also parodied Final Fantasy VII in another unrelated sketch about fast food) in which her character beats the whole city with a giant frying pan. But what I'd really like to see is a remake of this commercial, this time featuring Tifa Lockhart, as she destroys the whole kitchen with a frying pan, along with punches and kicks, since she's a brawler. They can just take the audio, and render Tifa and her kitchen in CGI, and since this commercial targeted young people, she should wear either her classic Final Fantasy VII outfit or her Crisis Core "cowgirl" outfit. And perhaps, for the Japanese fanbase, Ayumi Ito can dub her as well.
And if possible, perhaps Cloud can also join her by performing Omnislash on the kitchen. Takahiro Sakurai can dub him in Japanese, too.
Would you like to see that commercial if they made it?
