Truth Anti Smoking Ads.


I see them every time I'm watching Comedy Central about 4 million times, and I have to say, I hate them so much that it makes me want to smoke just to piss them off! They use racism, class level, and every other piece of propaganda they can throw at people to vilify the tobacco industry, and I don't believe anything they say. The people they get for the commercials are laughably annoying while they try to be "cool" with their preaching. Out of all the propaganda out there, those Truth ads are among the worst. I would love to toke a cigarette and blow it right in their faces. So their ads had a complete reverse effect on me. I am saying this as someone who hates smoking, but I am also someone who believes strongly in personal responsibility, and blaming the tobacco industry for people smoking is the same as blaming McDonald's for making you fat! YOU have the choice to smoke or not smoke. Quit blaming other people! Fuck the "Truth" ads!

They're parodies, not real commercials.

They aren't parodies. They are legitimate anti smoking propaganda. They aren't part of any show. They are more than likely taxpayer funded commercials trying like hell and using any means necessary to get people to stop smoking.

Yes, yes they are parodies. Like those Skittles commercials. Take them seriously and the joke's on you.
