Just a RANT about Anti-Smoking Commercials

You know what really makes me SICK?

Several DECADES ago, our government put their foot down, and decided to no longer allow cigarette advertisements on TV. None whatsoever.

So now that it's 2016, why in the hell do I have to watch commercials showing a guy explaining how much it sucks to live his life when he has a hole in his throat? I won't watch, but I also mute the TV, because the last thing anyone wants to hear is a guy having to hold a machine against his larynx to be able to talk, and I don't want to hear it. And it's not only him. This company has launched several anti-smoking advertisements recently, with a few different "victims". Some of them have recently died, and they are sure to let us know that.

Not only that, but now we also have to see tons of new anti-smoking commercials, such as these.

I'm a smoker, and I have been since I was about 21. Most of the past 23 years I enjoyed smoking a few cigarettes a day. Some of those days I smoke wayy tooo much. People enjoy smoking. Cigarettes.. Pipes.. Cigars.. Marijuana.... But I stray from the point.

I used to pay $3.25 for a pack of smokes back in the 90's. These days a pack is at least $6. Sometimes they're $7.50.

You're not allowed to advertise cigarette sales. Please stop advertising only the worst possible scenarios that result from smoking!

Two New Commercials I'm Already Sick Of

WuhShid-Adoo? WuhShid-Adoo? WuhShid-Adoo? WuhShid-Adoo? WuhShid-Adoo? WuhShid-Adoo?

I say you pull the plug on the new commercial LeBron - it sucks! We had to hear about you and your "decision" all summer, now we've gotta hear this 3 times an hour during every basketball game?

Here it is, just in case 1) you actually wanna see it again, or 2) you don't know what I'm referring to:



"I've gotta brand new pair of roller skates..."

This one isn't really all that bad - if they'd play the good parts of the commercial. Too many times now already, they play the crappy 30-second version, which starts with the chorus of that song (the worst part of that song). I'm sorry but the cuteness of the commercial doesn't come close to making up for the fact that that is really an annoying chorus. Especially when you have to hear it, also three times an hour.



Yeah, feel free to pull the slider back to the beginning to hear the whole thing. We never get to.

Damn commercials - I thought most modern TVs had a smart sound feature that controlled this very thing?
