Truth commercial: Muppets & smoking

Well said, frogboy. I commend you for a well-thought post. The one problem I see as far as pot is concerned comes from the fact that the very substance that stoners abuse could save the lives of so many people confined to a old folk's home or something, because it is said (though it may just be a rumor) that the plant itself--or something in it--lengthens (or at least, extends) one's life. The thing is...again, moderation. As many stoners prove, overdoing the product can be fatal and quite frankly, stupid and idiotic & so, the best way to stall the coming in of more stoners is to regulate the use of the thing (that is, if--or when--the stuff's legalized).

*laughs at Krazed's signature, given that practically nothing is original anymore*

but, doesnt mean you cant try- if you dont try, then you never will find if you can be original

"its better to fail in originality"

Point taken.

"There is no such thing as an old joke...unless you've heard it before."

As Slappy would say, "Now, that's comedy!"

Is anyone else horrified by the latest truth commercials? In my opinion, all they really do is confuse people. Like me...now, I dont smoke, none of my family smokes, I dont plan on smoking, and I dont like being around smoke. But to me, they can send some very mixed messages. The first time I saw the one with all the fantasy creatures I was like "Wait, are they trying to say its a good thing?".

I never liked the truth commercials at all

And the recent one with the "It Must've Been a Typo" musical montage? Horrendous.

Personally, I just have to say this... Family Guy and Robot Chicken's staff employs quite a few Muppet fans. Let's not forget, RC's Seth Greene was on Sesame Street and in fact said it was one of the greatest moments in his career.

But then again, we can have well thought out substantial parodies like them, and then we can get the various unfunny Youtube "erniez an burt ar gay! LOL!" 5 seconds to produce falsh cartoons. I don't mind adult style humor if it's well thought out. If it's just childish poo poo sex jokes, without any thought put into that (the juxtiposition of a childhood favorite and the sickest thing you can think of outside) then we have something lousy.

I have to say, the Electric Mayhem skit wasn't so much a parody of the Electric Mayhem, so much as a parody of those "Look how the mighty have fallen" Behind the something or other shows. Just so happens they have the Muppets in it.

But as for PSA's... well, I hate the current crop of shock value, or awkward stoner humor bits. When I wanted to learn about the dangers of smoking, I turned to , drug advice? I turned to &feature=related# and for eating healthy... I had that

GAH... scratch that last one. no wonder I grew up to be overweight. YUCK!

I like the new Truth commercial. It is funny, and I am a smoker. However I was most upset about the Muppet one. I wasnt upset about the actual commercial. I didnt feel it was an attack on Jim or the company. I felt as though they were going after the cigarette manufacturers. What I was upset about was the assumption, once again, that the Muppets are aimed towards children. They are meant to span all ages. It is not like Big Bird smoking on SS, that is different. But the Muppet Movie was not aimed at specifically young children.

What did that have to do with anything?

Haha! Nice. I've done that a few times, though it doesn't seem to stick (the vegetarianism... cheeseburgers always stick to the ribs).

I find that the Truth commercials are very important. After all, how else can cigarette companies advertise their product?

Really, I think they do more harm than good. They are advertising cigarettes for the companies, and if anything, I think these commercials make young people want to smoke even more.

I disagree. I am a smoker and those commercials scare me.

that one with the "tiny babies" scares me. The one with the typwriters is just weird and the onewith the dancing unicorn and things, well, that one might do more harm than good.

How about the one with the guy singing through his throat. "You dont always die from tobacco"

i dont think i've seen that one

Well, it depends on whether you already smoke or are about to.
