What I love about anti smoking campaigns is the fact that their data is based on quack science, anyone that as ever seen Penn and Teller's Show Bullsh!t knows that. Both of those guys are non-smokers and proved that the data and science around anti smoking ads is in fact BS.
Whereas nearly 50,000 people per year are killed in car crashes you don't see people protesting to ban cars.

[Mr. DS]

I think what I hate about "The TRUTH" is their arrogance and distasteful attitude.  I'm a nonsmoker but I occasionally light up a cigar and these ads don't move me.  They just remind me of every annoying kid I dealt with in college trying to "make a difference".  I feel if you're going to promote a good thing like not smoking, do it tastefully.  Don't be an a-hole about it.

this commercial is for some kind of fat dissloving drug,it states the side effects in LARGE letters at the bottom of the screen.the side veffect with the biggest letters says"may cause an uncontrollable oily discharge,uncontrollable gas discharge and/or a foul smell emanating from the skin"...oh yeah,i'll DEFINITLy lose weight,since i won't be able to go out to eat,or the grocery store,and NO ONE will want to be around me to run my errands for me!!!plus,i'll probably just suicide in order to escape my own reek!!!!

 As a smoker, I find the anti smoking bullsh#t to be getting WAAAAAY outta hand. No smoking in your car.? Your car makes more pollution and toxic fumes then my lousy cigarette! Killing X amount of people a day? What about the booze served in those no -smoking restaraunts? Or the garbage sold at fast food dumps? Maybe I should go in one of those restaraunts and order a glass...I could chew tobacco and SPIT chaw while folks are eating...or on a street corner...or out the window of my car!
  Stupid Nazi MTV zombie punks brats!!! ARGHHH!!!

Here's that one you guys were talking about.
What a horrible commercial!
What was Martin Scorsese thinking appearing in a pompous ad like this?
And why is that long haired snowboarder dude in it?  Does anyone even know his name?
And is the bald guy Andre Aggasi?  It looks like him but yet it doesn't.

Thats the one I was thinking of and heres a question.  And yeah straight up on your comment Ash.  Who is this long haired snowboard guy and why should we care to know him?  I saw him on a credit card commercial too.

Are you talking about Shaun White, aka The Flying Tomato?

His presence is there to 'relate' to the younger, anti-establishment (but monied) crowd.

[CheezeFlixz]

When I first saw the commercial I thought it was Carrot Top another equally annoying human being ... Mr Snow Boarder guy, don't know who he is and don't care.

[Mr. DS]

Alright ladies and gents...a classic awful commercial which I actually have a comical soft spot for why you may ask?

I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP!!!

I've already written a rant about this on another board.  If y'all dont have a beef with it, I'll just copy and paste said rant.

Is anyone else out there sick of television advertisers insulting out intelligence?
Case in point.
In a nice apartment in a city somewhere, a young man introduces his girlfriend to his parents who come from a different country.
The father, in broken English, asks the son if he can use the bathroom, and while in there, discovers his son's body spray and accidentally sprays some on himself.
Upon returning to the living room where the family is gathered in conversation, the young woman sniffs, turns and starts with this ridiculous dance and going "bom chika wah wow".
Come on people, How annoyingly stupid can you get. The novelty wore off of those commercials after the first one.
These are almost as annoying as the one with the young woman in a doctor's office in a neck brace.
The doctor tells her that she has beautiful hair and then wants to discuss how she got herself in a position to have said neck brace on.
Change scene to some women in a waiting room of some sort, and one flip of the hair leads to another leads to a toss of the head, leads to the first woman acting like she should be on stage at a Pantera concert or something. Her head's going, and the hair is flying around and all of a sudden there's a little crack sound, and the girl puts a hand to her neck in pain.
Look, if a shampoo would give me that much hair, I'd use it. My f**king hair is falling out faster than it's growing in for Pete's sake, but for hair so thick it throws my neck out just swinging it around? I'm sold.
Jesus H. f**king Christ on a rubber crutch people...a little reality in advertising here? Or do the marketing big wigs think that we're all a bunch of barely verbal troglodytes who'll fall for anything?
