You look kind of smart. Wrangle with this one:
Do you think you should be able to trust somebody all of the time?

You know what’s fun? Furry costumed creatures that talk. They’re floppy and funny, even that creepy one that loves getting tickled. You know who loves ‘em? Kids. And no one loves kids more than Big Tobacco. They love them so much that as long ago as 1969, they said they would avoid advertising directed to young people. Ain’t that just sweet? Yet just 10 years later, they supplied their products to be featured in The Muppet Movie. Crazy, right? Crazier than this?

So, they didn’t think placing their product in kid’s movies was advertising to young people. We say, whudafxup? What do you think – advertising or not?

So all the celebrities are wearing this new perfume. It smells awesome, and when you wear it, other people just like you better (hard to believe people could like YOU any more, but just go with it). There’s some chemical in it that actually makes you look hotter (uh hi – where do we get this?). So, it’s no surprise that the stuff is flying off the shelves and people just can’t get enough of it.  

Well, after a few weeks, it stops working as well. So people have to wear more of it to get the effects. And after a while, some people start getting a gross rash where it hits their skin. It itches like hell. Over time, their nose hairs start melting. In some cases, people even die. And it’s not just the people wearing it who get sick, either. It’s anyone that smells it. It’s totally gnarsty, and everyone knows it, including the perfume company. But if you try to stop wearing it, you start getting uglier. So people keep buying it, and the company keeps selling it.

So when people start dying, whose fault is it? The perfume wearers? Or the company’s?

Alright. We’ve got a good one for ya.
Do you think you’ve ever been affected by an advertisement?

Okay, let’s say you buy a big, delicious bag of Cheezeee Schnaxx, rip it open, and dig your paw into that cheezey goodness. Mmmmmm, cheeze.  Except instead of pulling out the scrumptious snacks you love, you also get a handful of cheese-covered worms.  Sick, right?

So, Cheeze Schnaxx Co. says they can’t promise there won’t be bugs and worms in your Cheeze Schnaxx, because it costs too much money. Would you still buy Cheeze Schnaxx?

As gross as it may seem, in 1983 worm and bug infestation was the #3 complaint received by one tobacco company. Even crazier, in the 1960’s another tobacco company circulated internal memos that said they’d “been aware of the situation for several years,” and that “it would be impossible to prevent infestation completely in our cigarettes.”

So, whudafxup with that? You tell us.
