Shock Treatment

OK, this is something that's been pissing me off for a looooong time. All of this stupid "shock treatment" that people are using to try and "inform" people about how bad some things are. The first thing that irritates me are these TRU advertisements where people try and tell me how terrible tobacco is. Look, I know tobacco, well, at least smoking it is bad, chewing is a different story, but I won't get into that right now, and seriously, if you didn't know that it was bad, let me give you some advice...go to Lowe's, buy a hammer, and hit yourself in the head with it for about an hour because you are a RETARD!!! SERIOUSLY!!! Showing me some nasty skank with a hole in her neck because she smoked her whole life or some dude with half a face because he chewed tobacco forever doesn't affect me at all. And I've got news for you, it doesn't affect anybody that smokes or chews tobacco either. All those douchebags on those commercials that end up having little asterisks over their heads when you've wowed them with your amazing information about how terrible tobacco is are just a bunch of homos that already had their own little crusades against tobacco. I'm so sick of you jerks trying to gross me out to tell me not to use tobacco. Also, I'm from North Carolina and tobacco USED to be this damn state's livelihood, but thanks to whiny jerks like you who want to sue tobacco companies for the idiocy of America, tobacco farmers had to take it up the rear! Thanks! The other thing that really pisses me off is those stupid anti-abortion people that I remember setting up their crap in the brickyard at State. First of all, I'm pro-life...extremely pro-life! BUT, I don't think displaying a bunch of pictures of late-term aborted fetuses is the way to win hearts and minds. All you succeeded in doing was grossing a bunch of people out, especially when it was right in front of the place where almost everybody on campus goes to eat lunch everyday! How twisted do you have to be?!? I think I'd rather just have the crazy brickyard evangelist, Gary, tell people they will go to hell if they have abortions instead of that! That seems a little less evasive to me! But whatever. I guess that's why I didn't major in Communications and why I don't design advertising campaigns. But it will still piss me off, so these losers can go screw themselves! Slán go fóill!
