The "Truth"

So, I was watching TV as I tend to do on occasion, and sinc I wasn't watching PBS or CSPAN a commercial came up. I am sure you've all seen the type of commercial, a commercial for thetruth.com. Now I think these are the most annoying commercials on TV, I mean I'm all for activism but this takes it too far. One of their main contentions is that tobacco companies lie, find me a company that doesn't lie, attack oil companies that are rolling in way more money and are just as harmful. Then they claim that they lie about how harmful they are, on the goddamn box there is a surgeons general's warning, plus I am pretty sure I have never in my 22 years been told that cigarettes were anything but unhealthy. I'm not even saying I'm pro smoking I mean I have had the occasional ciggarette, but I prefer not to be inundated with the smoke. But mostly I feel that instead of spending millions on a national campaign to tell America stuff they already know put it into emphesyma research or lung cancer or something productive.

if you read it thanks for listing or reading my rant.
