TheTruth.com's "Fair Enough" commercials

[King Imp]

<p>Have you guys see these new commercials from those annoying TheTruth.com people? Basically they are creating skits like a network comedy and saying these discussions were taken from actual board meetings. </p><p>I have to wonder, are these things actually true or just more made up bullshit to attack &quot;Big Tobacco&quot;. Don't get me wrong, I don't smoke and frankly hate that my wife does, but I'm not a whiny, take no responsibility for myself, bitch that blames them for her or anyone else's addiction. </p><p>Anyway, back to those meeting skits, in one of them they are targeting younger smokers and actually suggest fruit flavors and tobacco gum balls. I really finding that hard to believe that even &quot;Big Tobacco&quot; is that desperate or stupid to try that. </p><p>Here is the site in case you haven't seen the commercials. There are more on the site than I've actually seen on TV. </p><p>Fair Enough (http://www.fairenough.com/) </p>

as a loyal newport smoker, i hate them commercials. i think some of that stuff may have been said in a real board meeting but as a joke. as a general rule, any organization thats tryin to brainwash people will not give accurate facts or they will put em out of context.

<p>These ads actually make me feel sorry for tobacco companies.&nbsp; EVERYONE KNOWS SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOU NOW.&nbsp; And yet the government makes them give money to people that are trying to stop people from using their product.&nbsp; That's fucked up.</p><p>And the ads are so snobby and stuck up, with kids that act better than you if you're a smoker.&nbsp; I don't need some teen punk telling me what I should do.&nbsp; Go back to Homeroom son. </p>

<p>Listen to Gus.</p><p>The tobacco companies have to spend a certain amount of money in ANTI-smoking ads in relation to how much they spend in &quot;PRO&quot;-smoking ads.&nbsp; Hence, &quot;TheTruth.org.&quot;</p><p>It's like hiring the guy that just shit on your lawn to mow your grass.</p>

<p>The Truth is a different animal than the Tobacco companies.&nbsp; The tobacco companies do put up their own anti-smoking commercials, but they're aimed at teenagers.&nbsp; And you'll know they're tobacco industry commercials because they say &quot;Payed for by Phillip Morris&quot;</p>

<p>funny thing; when you're in high school, you don't really get addicted to cigs, since you probablity of you doing smoking realated activites are much slimmer.</p><p>let me tell you, cigarettes compliment, drinking, doing drugs, after sex, even as a celebratory event.&nbsp; good god damn, do they taste good.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>funny thing is, these commercials come accross as very sarcastic, yet very true.</p><p>they pump $$$ into low income communities, and markets they know are easy targets.&nbsp; and the pvt is getting kicj backs, so why do they give a fuck about the commercials comment?</p>

A while back, BabyAnna posted about working for Truth.com.&nbsp; I
can't find the post, but I recall her posting how hypocrital and
holier-than-thou the people working on the comercials were.<br />
