'Morning, 2T.

Well, I guess you can find just about anything on the internet, even something about the health benefits of urea.

In the small amounts urea gets back into the body, it is purifying, clears up excess mucus and has a number of specific, very useful effects. Moreover, it has a wonderful healing and tonifying effect when applied to the skin. You can find urea in many skin products as one of the main components.

Try not to get too queasy.

What's next?

Big food?

Big autos?

Big clothing?

Big gub'mint? Nah, 'Mercans like their gub'mint big.

[Rain-maker]

Maybe Big Tobacco will wise up and leave out all that added crap they put in the smokes?

[Lion's Cub]

It's about time. I hope they beat the sox off them!

The American Legacy Foundation - and its $500 million ad budget - was created out of the $246 billion legal settlement with Big Tobacco.

If those inane commercials is all that foundation is doing with their money, then the tobacco companies better go back and get their change. I knew the whole settlement was a rip off, but I didn't think the nico nazis would prove it so easily with those ads. If they want people to pay attention to their anti smoking message, then they should hire real advertising agencys. These ads look like they hired some high school kids ( or their own brood) for about ten bucks for the whole ad campaign.

My first smoke was through a corn-cob pipe. I blame General MacArthur...he made me do it.

Big Tobacco is paying the price of their folly back in the mid 1990's when they lied under oath about not knowing nicotine being addictive, only to have ALL those embarassing memos from the 60's and 70's pop up. I can't believe no one shredded those...

This is all about revenge, pure and simple. Before those memos showed up, NO ONE and I mean NO ONE was able to win a case against Big Tobacco. After the memos, it seems BT lost cases left and right. Jurors were all pissed off at having been lied to, pure and simple.

Not that I'm saying that this is right or anything...just that BT is paying for the folly of thinking they could lie under oath and get away with it. You takes yer chances, you pays yer dues when you get caught...

Is it time for me to point out the hypocricy in letting one cabal of companies market a dangerous product while still keeping pot illegal?

[Phantom Lord]

These Truth ads are the stupidest thing i have ever seen on TV.

[ChadGore]

doghouse ? they're the best cig adds EVER !

[Teacher317]

That's the deal the anti-smoking forces signed, and they'll have to live with it. But it's a shame, because truth is, bashing Big Tobacco may be the best way to keep kids away from cigarettes.

Goota love the Lefties... even if it's bad or illegal, if it satisfies their agenda, it's a shame to lose it.

I'm not a smoker and never have been, but I find those "Truth" commercials more than a little annoying -- and preachy. And, I'm sure at least one of them was filmed in some foreign country (the one where the kid with the strange accent is reading the placard to his friends).

Big Chocolate is next!

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Somebody should have taken a big swig of that ammonia drink then sued the stupid kids when they almost died. The kids argument would have been: "You didn't have to drink it." and the sick idiots response would be: "But you made it available." The same arguments that people use against tobacco companies in court. I hate cigarettes, my Dad smokes and my Grandmother has Emphysema from smoking, but I know it's their own bad decisions, and not some tobacco executive that has them smoking.

[HamiltonJay]

But in the weird world of tobacco, it's not that simple. The truth campaign is especially galling to Lorillard officials because the ads they so despise are being paid for in part out of Lorillard's own coffers.

Tobacco signed this deal to keep selling a product they knows days are numbers, stop the whining. Urea is a naturally occurring chemical, which most animals including humans excrete as waste. Now TRUTH crossed the line by saying tobacco ads it to tobacco, this is not true, but honestly I have never heard this ad, I have seen many that reference tobacco has urea, but none that alledge the companies add it after the fact.

[Bella_Bru]

I always light up for those commercials.

This weekend is extra special. I treated myself to a nice pack of Davidoffs. They are soooooooooo smooth.
