Do you know of what I speak? Those cool anti ciggarette commercials. They show videotape of these guys doing things like infiltrating cigarette companies and trying to sell "Amonia-Aide", a guy in a rat costume pretending to die in a crowded street with a sign that that says something along the lines of cigarettes and rat poison share ingredients. You know? You know? You know of what I speak?
The McNerf wonders if these are actual events or if they are staged acts with actors and extras and so forth. If it is a real project, I think it is hyper cool. I would like to be a Truth Operative, and go about on their schemes.

i'm pretty sure some of them are staged, like the one with all the body bags outside of the cigarette company, that'd be pretty hard to pull off and i'm sure it's illegal on some level...

They are effective, but I don't know if they are true. I hope they are. They're effective in getting a point across, even though sometimes they go a little far.

I don't know, but I do like your style, McNerf. Coupled with that icon of yours, it's hilarious.

I'm not actually sure, but I agree that it would be super cool to go on one of those "missions".

I like the one where they put the signs upon all the hotel doors. That would be fun.

It's most likely staged. For many of the above reasons.

Those commercials are jsut as bad as DARE. They might be more accurate than DARE was, but they still cover every point they try to make in a huge pile of sensationalism and propoganda. They're so out there it's hard to believe them. And they're incredibly lame.

Yeah I guess that's true. They should just make the companies clean up the cigarettes, pure tobacco isn't nearly as bad for you as the stuff they put in it.

I find it kind of ironic that the group is called "The Truth" when it's really just anti-big tobacco and completely biased.
I mean, if it were really "The Truth" wouldn't they really show the reprimands that big tobacco has made in settlements, charities etc.? If it was really "The Truth" wouldn't they show that the ingredients in plane exhaust, as they fly 40 planes over a crowded beach carrying their banners, were much worse than trace amounts of cyanide in cigarettes?
If these scenarios were real, these people have put themselves in the same extreme left wing groups as PETA.

The commercials are all staged, they are just produced in a way as to give the effect that they are real live 'missions'. I bet they actually had to pay the hotel to let them shoot their commercial there. You can't just bring in a bunch of actors, and a whole cameral crew into the courtyard of a hotel, and film a commercial about kids running by putting flyers on doors without someone saying something.
Secondly, I don't really like the commercials. Just what we need, more people telling other people how to live their personal lives.

I'm not a smoker either. I guess I just believe in the rights of individuals. Also, McNerf, I wasn't saying you are dumb or that the 'missions' themselves are dumb, I was just saying that I don't like the message of the ads.

ok - i'll admit
i'm a smoker, not a heavy one, bout half a pack a day
most anti-smoking ads just make me think about smoking and then i go off and light up
stagged or not, i have no idea, but if they are they should at least have some sort've disclaimer saying so
am i the only one that thinks it's unfair that TV stations air anti-smoking ads but won't air tobacco ads
one other side note and then i'll finish my rant -
at least alcohol is constitutionally protected so we'll be having beer ads till the end of time
