Doom Metal Alchemist Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 What the fuck is this garbage? And why is this on Adult Swim? You'd think Cartoon Network's demographic would be more into this...
Codename: Jackass Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 This ad makes me want to jump off a bridge. I see it on Comedy Central all the time. GOTTA APPEAL TO THE TEENS. 1

bnmjy Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Smoking isn't even much of a public health issue anymore. Everyone who does it, except Packard, knows that it's killing them. 2
NaBarney Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 I couldn't watch that a second time. The old infect truth ads from the 2000s were weird bc there would be people w megaphones in the streets getting mad yelling to crowds of onlookers about the dangers of cigarettes, staging die-ins outside corporate offices and whatever, all while America was in the middle of two wars that killed over a million people and you almost never heard about it anyehere except how great everything was going, until like 2007 when it finally became like unavoidably obvious that the terrible mess we made wouldn't get better, would haunt the world forever
quebecelegy Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 i remember vaguely reading something about how truth was financed or influenced by tobacco people anyways since they wanted to have some control with the backlash.
quebecelegy Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 ahhh, here it is. this isn't the one i was talking about but it goes into it somewhat. apparently the whole purpose of truth ads is to demonize smoking itself but not really focusing on the tobacco companies or vilifying them in any way. really makes you think.... https://www.legalzoom.com/articles/tobacco-companies-pay-big-bucks-for-anti-smoking-campaigns

Just rubbing it in all our faces. Smug pricks
Poof Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) ppl are very smug about nonsmoking. we have an obesity epidemic but u don't see truth ads about burgers. in fact in the butts vid it's about having a bigger butt bc thats better Edited August 25, 2018 by Poof 1

GOTTA APPEAL TO THE TEENS. I honestly don't think teens would be too much into this... to get teens into it they'd have to sexualize the butts. This is more fitting for little kids imo, who inherently think butts are hysterical. But of course it gets played on Adult Swim a lot.

No one needs to start smoking for any reason. However, some states/cities have implemented or tried to have implement a soda tax, so people are trying.

I'm still 95% convinced he's pulling this schtick to bang some chick he met at EDC named Nocturne that has pit hair and won't milk him unless he eats macaroni and cheese. Which I couldn't care less about really. It was when he dropped his 'Red Dragon' Tooth Fairy compendium about me that I'd finally had enough. 2
rpgamer Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Commercial definitely fails to get its message across. And why are you so hung up on what network it's airing on? You do realize it's airing on dozens of networks all over, right?

MasqueradeOverture Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 I swear they're bringing up a generation of new smokers by causing kids to rebel against these ads. The woman breathing from a hole in her neck worked just fine, thanks. 1
