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.

Have you seen the one where they lock a german shepherd in a cage and make it growl and bark? I think the animal rights hippies should fight the tobacco hippies. And then the MADD mom hippies will be driving home drunk from one of their get-togethers, and run over all the animal rights and tobacco hippies and then crash into a tree, at which point the environmentalist hippies will show up and just as they are pulling out their guns to shoot the already dead MADD mom hippies for hurting the tree, the anti-gun hippies will show up and start throwing rocks at the environmentalist hippies. Then the ACLU hippies will show up and start whining about how the environmentalist hippies are expressing their first-amendment rights and they'll start shooting at the anti-gun hippies. The environmentalist hippies, highly under the influence of tetrahydracannabinal, will then become confused and disoriented and start shooting at the ACLU hippies, who were trying to save them in the first place. As the last of the environmentalist hippies and the ACLU hippies are firing the last of their ammo at one another, the anti-war hippies will stage a sit-in right in the middle of the battlefield and get caught in the crossfire, effectively bringing about the end of the era of whiny fucking hippies.... A man can dream, can't he?
