Interactive games are used to teach children that it is not fair to use steroids

“Don’t Be An Asterisk” anti-steroid campaign was established to supply people with knowledge about intake of steroids, about risks related to performance-enhancing substances within and outsides sports in order to promote stopping applying these medicines.
 But ”Don’t Be An Asterisk” was in negligence during certain time. The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and Ad Council decided to restart activities of this campaign. It was decided to create a new gateway page for the website and to alter 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 unmodified for over 2 years. This site encourages the visitors to visit another new page which is on Facebook. Thus, they can 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 anti-steroid.
The initial site DontBeAnAsterisk.com includes an interactive soccer game. Players  have to score goals avoiding the asterisks. The asterisks are anabolic steroids. If the interactive players don’t avoid the asterisks, they become much more muscular.
However the game has been created to convince kids that steroids are not safe, the results are opposite. Kids find it funny to fail avoiding asterisks and to observe how muscles of the interactive soccer players become essentially increased. Although the game is still available on the website, it is unlikely that it can educate kids that steroids should not be administrated.
The principal goal of this campaign is to teach kids that a consumer of steroids isn’t a trustful individual; he\she is “fake”, a “joke” and a “poser”.
