Cigarette ads should just tell people to buy a vaporizer and some weed. New tagline: "Nicotine is expensive as poo poo, and you don't even get high. C'mon man."

QuickbreathFinisher posted:Ugh. This new wave of anti-smoking commercials. They make it seem like literally anyone who smokes a cigarette will have a horrifying voicebox and a stoma or lose both legs due to poor circulation. Some bullshit. Let me smoke myself to death without reminding me of the consequences, please. I quit smoking a while back and every time I hear or see an offensively stupid anti smoking ad I want to light up just to spite them. And film it and send it to them saying "see what you made me do, you assholes?"

It's honestly no different than any other scare tactics that have been used to push drugs, especially in that it's so extreme that it basically makes itself ineffective, because a single pack of cigarettes is not going to do that to you, so you don't really keep people from starting, and the people who already smoke very likely know the risks anyway, so showing them yucky pictures won't help. I dunno how much of a say the tobacco companies get in the content of the ads (obviously none, legally), but it doesn't seem completely far-fetched that they might push something like this to hold to their legal obligations without actually trying to get people to stop buying their product.

The strainer. Perhaps one of the easiest to use inventions ever made beyond the door stop and paper weight combo that is the common garden rock, or thats what I use to think. Behold the simple strainer for those people who can not figure out how to use a bowl with holes in it. https://www.simplestrainer.com/ video is on their site since theres no youtube of it yet.

A couple years ago there was a Verizon ad featuring an Asian man carrying a bag full of baby stuff. He passes a Verizon store and sees an ad for the HTC whatever was new then and has an inner monologue where he convinces himself that his new daughter would want him to have an awesome phone so they could play games together and stuff. Last night during 30 Rock I saw the same ad, except obviously the store signs were now for the Samsung Galaxy Note and the inner monologue is now about him getting one for him and his wife. Except he's still carrying the bag of baby stuff because they just recycled the footage.

Ah yes, the Samsung Galaxy Note... too small to be a good tablet and too big to be something you keep in your pocket, what I've always wanted!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bUQfLwMTwk The Pedi Spin Oh...my...God. We know this is a vibrating foot file, WHY do we need to see the literal sheets of flesh peeling off? I could have gone the rest of my life not seeing some woman on TV sloughing off half her drat foot. Also on the youtube version you can't really hear it, but on TV there's this constant droning buzz every time they show the thing in action that causes an instant headache for me.

Eh, not really aside from the fact that they're both kind bug eyed. But I doubt the guy in the pizza commercial is married to someone as hot as Geoffrey Arend is. I would hate him if I didn't want to give him a high five.

It was on the radio, and I hated it because it had annoying sounds in it simulating tinnitus, they were selling a drug to help tinnitus called quietus. I was amused at the name cause that was the name of a government subsidized suicide pill in this one boring b-movie I watched. VVV knew I'd get someone. It was just built up too much for me by goons, it was great production and acting, I just kept expecting it to go somewhere. They could've at least had baby diego beating the autograph seeker to death happen onscreen! Vin BioEthanol fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Apr 3, 2012 |

Burger King seems to be going the celebrity route. I wonder if people will go to a Burger King because they see David Beckham and Jay Leno on their commercials.

If the manager guy didn't say "David" I would not have guessed that was any particular celebrity at all. They must be hitting the panic button since Wendy's passed them.

I read an article a while back on how dumping The King character was basically them going, "Instead of having this creepy dude bring you food that's clearly very unhealthy, we'll instead now focus on the actual food being fresh and of a higher quality!" Once that didn't really do it, they threw a bunch of money at a talk show host and a soccer player. But I don't know, if it's either The King or Jay Leno, I'd much rather the first guy.

According to AP, Burger King is doing a big revamp on their menu and PR as they go public again. I think they were recently beat out for 2nd place on the burger chain list by Wendys (McDonalds at #1) so they'll probably be on a pretty big push for a while. Although yeah, David Bekham of all people seems like a pretty weird choice.

Jay Leno is the odder choice, since as far as I know, he's pretty much only popular with old people, who aren't the ones ads are usually targetted at. I'm not sure of anyone under the age of 50 who has a positive opinion of him.

My parents were like this with Roy Rogers, while we kids wanted Burger King, so there's always something. However, my parents always liked Dave and Conan better than Leno, so whatever.
