Jay and Silent Bob are comic reliefs. Do everyone on the TV or movies have to necessarily do positive things in order to get a laugh, I think not. No one, not even Kevin, said these two stoners were role models.
Let's look at their "fictious" life:
Jay and Silent Bob:
Have no real home
Have no real family life
Have no education (after HS I am guessing, if that)
Have no girlfriends (Jay does, but she turns out to be a thief sent to prison)
Bottom line, I don't understand your rant. You seem to think people, what, shouldn't like Jay and Silent Bob because they happen to sell drugs? It's not the fucking point of the movie, the point is watch these two "Clown Shoes" go through adventures laughing.
Other examples of dimwitted buddies:
Bill and Ted
Cheech and Chong
Wayne and Garth
Beavis and Butthead
Lloyd and Harry (Dumb and Dumber)
Clinton and Gore
