Anti Smoking Barf Campaigns
Are you kidding me? So I’m answering some emails and in the corner of my eye what do I see? An anti-smoking ad.
Yea, smoking is bad, I agree. So is drinking. So is eating fast food, so is taking steroids, so is snorting cocaine. So is a lot of things. Most of us know this by the time we are teenagers but there are some of us who try these things anyways.
But my God, do you have to show us a picture of a foot with toes missing? I mean really? Was that even necessary of myspace to allow an advertiser such as this to promote on here?
I just don’t see the point of putting a grotesque advertisment such as this. And on this website? I’m shocked!
Oh myspace, you become more and more corporate every day. It makes me sad. You used to be so cool!!!
I think sometimes these ads are bit over the top. Do they really think by showing someone with toes missing or with a black lung is going to achieve anything other then totally grossing us out.?
What do these advertisers expect to gain by these grotesque ads they promote? And I wouldn’t be suprised if a percentage of these ads aren’t sponsored by Philip Morris the very same company who sells this shit.
What gets me the most is myspace probably wouldn’t hesitate to block out an account of girl showing her breasts. Yet it’s o.k. to show an ad of someone with a gangreen foot with toes missing and disgusting black rotten foot???? But HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR BREASTS! People might get offended!! but here.. “don’t smoke, because it causes your foot to look like this!!”
You decide. Nice pair of breasts or ad of rotten foot?? And I digress.
Let’s face it, people want to smoke, drink and do drugs. Showing them an advertisement of toes missing isn’t going to achieve anything other then grossing people out.
So with all do respect myspace, please stop these kind of ads.
For the record, I don’t smoke cigarettes or marijuana. I don’t do any drugs. I drink Budweiser.
However, I am very annoyed by these kind of advertisments. I feel they are grotesque, offensive, and most importantly; uneseccary…
