those Truth ads

that one anti-drug commercial with Rachael Leigh-Cook and that frying pan always makes me really hot.

no joke.

That was my kid.

One of the worst was the one that went like this.

"There is ammonia in cigarettes."
"Ammonia is an ingredient in dog poop."
"Therefore smoking is bad"

Another was something along the lines of...

"There are 34 chemicals in rat poison."
"cigarettes have over a hundred chemicals"
"Therefore smoking is bad"

And so on. Textbook broken syllogisms. For statements like these, I despise their organization.

Weren't they supposed to run out of funding or something

Or do you despise them because you smoke, and you are afraid it is going to kill you?

Nope. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life.

I despise them because they abuse logic and the facts to spread their message. Calling themselves "Truth" just makes me hate them more.

They really bridge the gap from advertising to propaganda like nothing else I know of outside of political campaigning. And then there's the fact that in most of the ads they're just one step away from harassing people on the street. I would be very tempted to punch someone following me down the street holding a sign pointing at me saying "low self-esteem".
