Tobacco: tumor-causing, teeth-staining, smelly, puking habit. Come on folks, it's not "cool" to smoke... It just LOOKS cool.

That's not realistic at all. It takes way longer for cigarettes to kill you than that!

Yeah they have been playing for a while now, at first I thought it was another game fly or energy drink commercial. I do not know why somebody actually made this.

How pathetic is this? Some EPA greenie decided that we need to start injecting political agendas in video games? Well obviously this is not the first time this has been tried. Kind of reminds of that wacked out games for change stalinist organization that trys to promote developers that make games where the hero is the U.N comming to the rescue to save all of humanity from global warming LOL! What a buch of huey! Please keep your pertrulie stinking hands of our video games.

Dude, what the fuck are you on about? This is an anti-cigarette advertisement targeting kids. It isn't a real game. It isn't promoting anti cigarette messages in games. It really seems like all you are trying to do is talk about your politics and make yourself seem smart. You can put your opinions away and pick up a controller or go to a different blog.

I'm surprised they actually took the time to make it look...good. Not the best thing in the world but atleast it doesn't look like a Poser reject like those 5 hour energy drink commercials I've been seeing lately. The one with that woman running past a tank?

badarsemother3k, What am I on about??? did you make it through grammer school? I think you missed the point. Yes they are targeting kids with an anti-smoking ad showing a video game be it real or not does not matter. My point that I am trying to make is that this is not isolated to ads but rather it is indeed being injected directly into games themselves. Google "games for change" and see what I am talking about. There is an active movement by activist trying to brainwash kids by means of developing games directly tied to thier political views.
