I just saw somethin that pissed me off.
a TRUTH (referring to that anit-cigarette campaign) commercial is allowed to show the word "WUDDAFUXUP" when at the same time there censoring every other racy show on television. Looks like FCC gets to pick and choose what they want censored or not.

im not offended by it or anything, just wanna point out how fucked up society is.

Ugh... Truth, all in all, they have a good point. Cigarettes kill people.

Here's a riddle.

HOW MANY STUPID POINTLESS COMMERCIALS WITH PERPLEXED LOOKING NAIVE NEW YORKERS LOOKING AT RANDOMLY AND ARTFULLY PLACED STATISTICS DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A POINT THAT'S ALREADY BLATANTLY OBVIOUS TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE? I'll tell you. One.

Come on, people and Big Bad Tobacco are gonna do what they're gonna do... They wouldn't have profits it people wouldn't smoke cigarettes to begin with.

you'd be surprised what the FCC doesn't censor. there was a show (something like CSI or whatever) that had a child pornography theme, it went pretty far.......i feel like they concentrate more on curse words than graphic obscenities.

I went to see Blades of Glory and there were two crappy above the influence commercials.

In one it was shitty animation and the kid is trying to get his dog to smoke with him, the dog than walks away and it says something like "smoking weed can be very lonely."

They are nothing more than think tanks..trying to come up with new ideas to propel their advancement. It is truth..to them.
Cigarettes do kill and kill often though...

if you turn the tv off, then the fcc has no control over you and society doesnt seem quite as fucked up.

Thats the truth... that way the only world you know is the one you see with your 2 eyes...Definitetly cannot live your life through the TV. I know some people who dont even go out of their house cause they are afraid they are going to get shot..cause of all the murders and death they see on tv. Stupid.

Come on, people and Big Bad Tobacco are gonna do what they're gonna do... They wouldn't have profits it people wouldn't smoke cigarettes to begin with.

But that's why they add nicotine. It makes them junkies for cigarettes. I read an article not too long ago stating that within the recent years, cigarette companies have increased nicotine amounts per cigaratte by 11% I think it was...raise the prices, raise the nicotine. Let's kill part of the smokers, and make the rest go broke. Then get more addicted tomorrow. Fucked up industry.

At least if marijuana were sold in stores its profits wouldn't be at the death of at least 450,000 Americans every year...

I wonder how many people in the entire WORLD tobacco kills yearly..

I can't stand the "Above the influence" bullshit commercials, especially because people I know say "I'm above the influence", and I'm like, no, you're way under it. You're buying a random bullshit fucking advertisement. and they just say "stfu stoner"

i read once somewhere that, its best to read the sports section when your looking to see mans achievements... the front page is only full of mans failures.


but like everyone here these stand and above the influence commercials really piss me off, its like im living my life making my choices, get the fuck off my back about it.

they all just need to chill out and put their thoughts into something more worthire like Invisible Childeren (http://www.invisiblechildren.com/theMovie/media/index.php?mediaID=1646005926) or something, not being masters of the obvious and telling everyone shit they already know. let people make their own choices and stop trying to be heros... its annoying

Haha. Me and my friends were going out to get Guitar Hero the other day and we smoked on the way and got pretty high. When we got there we got the game and as we were paying for it the one with the kid saying like "I feel bad about smoking weed, but I would feel less bad if you smoked with me." and the dog's like "no." or some shit then walks away and raises a flag. We all just started laughing our asses off right there because those are the specific commercials we ALWAYS make fun of. Those shitty animation ones. The guy probably knew we were baked.

BTW I'm fucking amazing at guitar hero and recommend it to anyone. My friends say I'm only good because I play guitar but I don't think that has anything to do with it.
