| So I'm watching T.V. like always and I see one of those truth.com commercials. I have been seeing a couple dozen of them for the last two years now, but since I quit smoking, they don't apply to me anymore so I hardly pay attention to them. But then I started wondering why a nonprofit organization is spending so much money on their anti-smoking campaigns, but what's even more baffling is how a nonprofit organization is spending so much money on anti-smoking campaigns? I've seen truth.com people come to Chicago with a truck full of various magazines, and rent out a three hundred dollar an hour recreation hall at Navy Pier just to gather people all over the city and tear up the smoking adds in the magazines. What about all the air time for those commercials they make? Especially the one where they rented all those jets to fly over a beach with banners of each cigarette ingredient on their tales. What do they ultimatly hope to achieve? Do they actually think they can make a multi billion dollar industry go out of business with petty protests and commercials letting everyone know that cigarettes contain amonia and dog piss? They obviously don't know that smoking is addictive and most smokers would quit if they had that option. I don't think taunting them about the dangers of smoking which they already know is really going to motivate them. I'm convinced that the culprit behind this is just some rich little bastard who inherited a fortune from his smoking parents and wants to make it look like he's avenging their deaths by pissing his money away on cigarette bashing. Seriously, the only thing more dangerous than a rich man is a rich man with too much time on his hands. |
