Anyone Noticed Those Truth Campaigns?

[lemmiwinks]

isnt truth funder by philip morris?

yes it is and any collage student that is taking phycology can tell you these comercials are not made to make you quit smoking they are infact using a tactic to make you start or to make you smoke more. thats why they use actors that annoy the hell out of you. what is the first thing most ppl do when someone they dont like tells them not to do something? same with these comecials thats why when you see and hear the main guy speek on them you almost instantly hate him. it plays on our nature to rebel.

Yeah... I'm gonna have to disagree with you there... It is funded by Philip Morris and other tobacco companies, but they don't control the content.

The truth campaign is a part of the American Legacy Foundation, which itself is a result of a lawsuit by every state's attorney general against major US tobacco companies to recover the costs to the Medicaid program of treating tobacco related diseases. As a part of the settlement, the companies are required to fund the American Legacy Foundation, whose purpose it is to reduce smoking among young people through a nationwide public education program.

Any "college" student taking "psychology" can, however, tell you how to spell words like "commercials" and "speak."
