smoking commercials Options

[jnukes]

i think those commercials that show how smoking is bad through other situations are awesome -- they're great ways to spread a message



-- such as that one where a guy's on a stage @ a carnival , w/ a crowd of people watching .. and w/ a curtain behind him . and he says " do you want to see tha kind of people that destroy our world each day ? " [[ or something like that ]] .. and then he pulls tha curtain, and it's a huge mirror, w/ tha reflection of tha crowd of people ..


-- and that one, where tha setting is @ tha mall .. and this guy w/ a huge barrel of cleaner spray on his back .. and he's going around tha mall spraying tha cleaner around people .. and tha people gett annoyed ..


then it's goes to a screen where a woman that works @ a bar w/ a headache and people smoking .. then a narrator says " people shouldn't be affected by second-hand smoke " .. describing how tha guy w/ tha cleaner spraying it near people ..


anyone know what i'm talking about ?? -- and what do you think of those commercials .. ?

You guys are miscontruing what THETRUTH actually stands for:

let's start by telling you what truth is not:
truth is not anti-smoker. We love smokers. In fact, we love everybody. truth isn't about passing judgement on people or the choices they make. As far as we're concerned, smoker, non-smoker, non-issue.

And truth is not here to tell you, or anyone else, what to do. We hate when people do that. So you're never gonna hear any "just say 'no' to cigarettes" stuff from us. But there's an industry out there that makes billions of dollars selling a product that's responsible for over 1,200 deaths a day in the U.S. alone. This industry spends more than $34 million each day advertising and promoting those products, and it's entrenched itself in our culture by deceiving and manipulating the public. truth just thinks everyone ought to know more about that industry and the things they do.

truth makes sure all the facts are available. That way, when you make your own decisions, they can be based on all the information, not just those things tobacco companies want you to think. But truth is also an idea, and maybe it's bigger than just tobacco. It's about thinking for yourself and not allowing friends, teachers, politicians, television, movies or an industry to do it for you. It's about making your own decisions based on knowledge and respecting the choices others make as well. So go ahead. Apply truth liberally and wipe some on your friends.

The truth is geared towards tobacco companies, and what they have been doing to society.

Excuse my French, madamme but that's Propa-fcukin'-ganda.

So lets ignore the positive impact that tobacco has on our economy or even how our rights would be stripped from us by the banning of these beloved cancer sticks. Lets look at the facts and how many people got lung cancer last year and are terminally ill. There's the Surgeon General's warning on the back of every pack and carton, who's fault is it? Lets blame the wicked tobacco companies!!!

Is there anyone out there attacking Anheuser Busch? Or Pfizer and Zeneca Pharmeceuticals?

Maybe its just me, but when you turn on a tv and see a TRUTH commercial after the Blacked Eyed Peas video, its as if this encouraged social/political awareness is marketed in such a matter that it is merely a trend. "Wow, those commercials are hella deep, man. Save the environment and save my lungs. I'm down with TRUTH!" Umm, err, yeah. So are you anti-tobacco because of truth commercials or are you anti-tobacco because you seriously, whole-heartedly, see something wrong with the leaf itself?

I'm not trying to prove anything, so there was no need to be a condescending ass about it. I'm just telling them exactly WHY THE TRUTH EXISTS AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR--nothing more, nothing less.
