http://www.mediaed.org In Deadly Persuasion: The Advertising of Alcohol & Tobacco, Jean Kilbourne exposes the manipulative marketing strategies and tactics used by the tobacco and alcohol industries to keep Americans hooked on their dangerous products. Illustrating her analysis with hundreds of current advertising examples from mainstream and trade sources, Kilbourne presents a compelling argument that these cynical industries have a clear and deep understanding of the psychology of addiction � an understanding they exploit to create and feed a life-threatening dependency on their products. Deadly Persuasion casts a critical eye on the corporate interests that lie behind the industries whose products kill more than 450,000 Americans each year.

    Anyone so flabergastingly stupid as to do what he's told by advertising is a pollutant of the human gene pool and is therefore a public health issue. May he die.

    smoking or not smoking people will eventually die. So what's the point of not smoking? You're gonna die anyway. Just smoke moderately, about a pack a week.

    i feel so cheated. simple as that. like i allways thought it was cool to smoke and drink... now that i'm 20 i'm thinking... not cool.

    Listen to this lady and you'll live forever! Give me a break! More meaningless and misleading statistics from the people who brought you meaningless and misleading statistics! More smiley-faced communism for the masses. Empty utopian crap. Oh, I forgot; communism is a scare word and totalitarianism only happens to stupid people from another time from other countries; we're enlightened Americans and that will never happen to us. Grow up.

    It sure is easy to travel the world over at the expense of those 'Bourgeoise' whose wealthy companies you've looted and plundered to no end. Then you simply re-package your filthy doctrine and sell it to the youth by using platitudes such as 'go green', and 'it's for the children', or 'save the earth, dolphins, whatever', etc. Redesigning Marxism for the 21'st century and world domination is your goal for a Red Dawn!

    *Sighs* This punk will not clean his ears about the fact that I am not Czech, but what can you expect. He is ignorant enough not to even know what languages other people speak, or where other names come from. Oh, and is this how *HE* got his Communist Party card? WOW, He seems to know a lot about the procedures!!! And, of course, regardless of any ideological issues, it is HIM who knows what's best for everyone else, isn't it? That is not imposing his opinions, of course.

    People also RUN away from Fascist Dictatorships and Oppressive State Regimes! Remember folks, the road to Hell is paved with 'good intentions'. The State produces NOTHING but debt and bureaucracy, as Ron Paul has shown us. The Collectivists know what is BEST for YOU, and you will soon need to see the 'Committee' to get permission to take a leak if folks like Czechie here get their way!
  13. by Davine — @ 12:50:04

    No Pinko. A Communist is a Collectivist! That is the ideology which you are espousing. If you despise the free market economy, you have therefore declared yourself to a card carrying member of the Socialist Party, (which you surreptitiously label Unions) bent on the destruction of Capitalism Worldwide. For the likes of you, there is no other goal!
  14. by GAIZKA — @ 13:13:03

    PS: Clue. People DO emigrate, like you did from the guts of Hell. The fact that I live here doesn't mean I was born here. I know this amazing fact is too much for your tiny little brain, as is the fact that someone can live in other countries and learn different languages at will. PPS: "Er" is a "real word", and it's an interjection, not an onomatopoeia.
  15. by STODDARD — @ 13:36:02

    I still can not believe that this Thing can be ignorant or moronic enough to think my name is Slavic... or that anyone who doesn't agree with him is a communist. Somebody, please send this loser a dictionary. No, the word "Communist" doesn't mean "anyone who doesn't agree with me". A village did lose its idiot!
  16. by Milan — @ 13:59:01

    3MA's, yet still don't know proper punctuation and use onomatopoeia words like 'Er'. So it looks like you fled the Former Soviet Union. Why? Because another Marxist Dictator like Stalin may arise and murder 30 million more Russians? I thought all you REDS are 'Comrades' who think the Ends justify the Means! And where did you go? West! But We want no parts of the likes of you lurking with your insidious doctrine. Stay in Czech-Whatever today and fix your own house, shit for brains!
  17. by Nadie — @ 14:22:00

    Er... I am not Czech, you filthy little toerag. I live here. As in, I have worked abroad for over 5 years. AND loving it! You see, I am such a parasite that I have worked hard, got 3 MAs, and got to travel the world over...yeah, man, what a "reddie" I am !
  18. by Berenice — @ 14:44:59

    Er...I think you are a few decades late with that announcement. AND, there is nothing communist about this video. *YAWNS* You are the most boring WASP I have ever had the disgust of interacting with. Go play around in your little white hood, and much good may it do you. PS: I am done with you, subnormal. You are obviously not worth my mana.
  19. by Louden — @ 15:07:58

    You are a Marxist, a parasite living off unearned wealth derived from the hard work and labor of others. Yes you are a Lazy Czech Commie!
  20. by Esme — @ 15:30:57

    Oh, *I* am lazy? Of course! I forgot that actually campaigning for positive changes and attempting to hold people accountable of their evildoings now equates laziness! Please, do not let me stand on the way of your putting your foot in your mouth!
  21. by Armstrong — @ 15:53:56

    No, you ignorat slug. You *will* divide the world into "Pretty Corporation Paradise" and a dark (is it fascist or neo-marxist? How about Plutonian?)dungeon. Well, surprise! We *need* someone to put a limit to corporate rights. I *detest* Communism (and I have lived in 3 Communist countries). However, I *do* believe in Corporate responsibility. If that means one less brand of tobacco... all the better.
  22. by WALDBURGA — @ 16:16:55

    Daily we must battle the Marxists Minions who have Infiltrated the Upper Echelons of Our Society!!! We are NOT a Satalite of the former USSR. We won. You lost. Better Dead than Red!

    Look It Up Lazy Pinko Leech. House Bill 282.
  24. by Nita — @ 17:02:53

    Oh no, I am against Corporate Welfare as you see today. True Capitalism requires no State Intervention. You my dear fellow person, are a Neo-Marxist. Your religion is that of Statism, which you think is supposed to regulate human activities and consumption of free market products. That, by definition, is Fascism.
  25. by Jayde — @ 17:25:52

    Yeah, right. And the world is black or white, isn't it? Because capitalism has been an absolute and unchallenged success all over the world, right? And the only other option is fascism? I guess you are one of those fighting against Unions and civil rights as they hurt "poor little corporations". I now wonder if you even have opposible thumbs.
