Truth Commercials

These things are quickly becomming my most hated commercials on the planet, except for those god damn Payless Shoes commercials, starring that guy, Star Jones.

Cigarettes are dangerous, we get it. Now shut up and find a new cause. Don't fill my TV time with self righteous, pretentious claims that demonize the cigarette companites. They always show these "victims" of these multimillion dollar companies, dying from cancer caused by smoking, as if she was forced to pick up that cigarette and continue sucking smoke. As if she couldn't get a Nicoteen patch from Kmart and stoped smoking.

I'm sick of them showing these dumbass old people as "victims". They weren't victims, they were just stupid. And I refuse to feel bad for someone because their own stupidity. They smoked for 40 years, oh, surprise surprise, they have lung cancer, who the hell saw that coming?

These commercials are always done by these damn new age hippies, who twist the truth to their favor, and make these alligations against the cigarette companies, like they're all evil monsters forcing cigarettes down everyones throat. Wake up you assholes, they put warning labels on every pack of cigarettes, they've made it known to everyone that they are dangerous, they keep them out of the reach of children, and these stupid, shithead hippies keep giving them shit. Leave them alone, don't you realize you're doing the exact same thing you're accusing them of doing? You're stuffing your bullshit agenda down everyones throat, using stupid manicans to symbolize dead people on the street. Wow, that's deep. I'm sure everyone who see's these commercials will stop smoking, and I'm sure everyone who was considering smoking will now lose interest because you hire some actor to play the part of an evil corporate cigarette maker, who's sole concern is apparantly killing as many children as possible while cackling in an evil manner. I'm sure that's exactly what they want to do.

The fact is, everyone knows smoking is dangerous, and many many people still choose to do it. What the hell do these douchebags care if people knowingly choose to do something harmfull to their bodies. Who cares? These are probably the same people who are blaming Mcdonalds for fat people. No, it's the fat people who are to blame, they go in and ask for a super size order of fries, all Mcdonalds is doing is giving them what they want. And that's all the Cigarette companies are doing too.

I hope everyone who ever participated in a Truth commercial dies of second hand smoke.

There needs to be a thread of hated commercials. It would take me days to think of all the commercials I hate although Truth commercials have never really annoyed me for some reason.

He said "douchebags". 😆 Ooops, sorry. *becomes more serious* 😕

Can I get an Amen brothers.

i'm all with you bf...but the fact is....every country needs programs of these sort..whether some like them or not. and what's weird is that they work, just like any other comercial. stats-wise at least. even a little influence, and they've achieved their purpose.

the only one of these ads which gets me is the girl who's dad had to have a lung removed and she's really upset and she's talking about it........it makes me cry 🙁

These commercials are always done by these damn new age hippies

Damn Hippies! Kill 'em all!

The Crazytown(world?) sub-commercials are also bad. They're part of Truth. Smoking kills. We know. Move on.

All I'm going to say is...

Last time i was stoned, i never thought to point a gun at my own face, and I've never decided to take off out of the drive thru at 60 mph so i could hit a little kid.

These commericals are extremely over dramatized and their message fails to reach me. Smoke on smokers!

I agree with Backfire.......and I have to add it torques me when those people had the balls to sue the tobacco makers..........HELLO you made the decision to smoke YOU pay the price. And for the record I AM a smoker. 😛

ok, true...however....companies tend to HIDE what they actually put in those cigarettes. that's why they get sued.

and besides..those comercials are adressed to the average folk. You chaps seem to have overgrown brains 😛....and with a little thread herd mentality (all rights reserved to the term 🙂 ), you should just ignore them

I can't ignore them. I'm trying to watch a TV show and they pop on like 4 times an hour on some shows. It's ridiculous. I wouldn't care if they were just on every other day or so. But these things are almost constant. Not to mention overly stupid.

Adverts are always pretty bad, but an (hypothetical) cutting edge truth commercial would be useful.

could be worse. could be on every day, every commerical break

they pretty much are.

nevermind then.
some of them are just over the top. The more they try to emotion impact u, the worse they are

You seem a little cranky BF, has your missus cut the supply of lady-love? 😛

Tee hee, you know those black and white "SMOKING KILLS" labels they plaster all over ciggy packets? Well some genius is making identically sized stickers to put over them with slogans such as "SMOKING IS COOL" on them.

Capitalism at its best people. 😄

Well, my missus is out of town for a while, so yes, I haven't been getting any lady love.

But these commercials have bothered me for a while now. Even when I am getting some, they annoy the piss out of me.

when masterbation's lost it's fun.....you're f*ckin lazy! 🤘

It hasn't lost it's fun, I'd just prefer a hot chick doing it rather then me.

sorry...Green Day moment after lunch. 🙁
