   it seems that the want to promote the habit of smoking not the oposite because every person with a good mental health knows that being gay is not bad so if you compare smoking with something good you are saying that smoking is good…

   seriously, any body has been payed for this advertisment????????? if so now i understand why we are in this economic crisis…..

   thanks a lot!

   Promoting homophobia to reduce smoking????? yeah, sure, let’s make people eat healthy promoting racism. Whatever.

   Not cigarretes, but a few people were high on dope while planinng and appoving this.

   I even wonder how did they pass the classes the interviewed kids are attending, resoning and logic doesn’t seem to be their strong point.

   Just thought I would remind people that this is from The Onion. If somehow you are unaware of what The Onion is; it is a website focused on news parody. I.e. this is not a real ad campaign.

    What are they thinking?

    So being Gay it’s a “bad” thing?

    I would change the ads for: “Smoking makes you fascist”

    Thanks Peter, I didn’t know that. Now i’m a little less worried.

    Only a little.

    Thanks too, Peter.

    Then I take my words back, problem is that I’ve met people enough minded like that so as to take this for real. Scary but no so unlikely.

    Being gay is not normal.
    But it shouldn’t be used as something bad either.
    I have my beliefs and you have yours.
    And Homosexuality is wrong. To me, anyway.

    Anyway, funny video ! haha
    hope you all know it’s a fake.
