A lot of people get offended about different things, and what bothers me is the guy smoking in the background. Smoking is a killer, and it shouldn't be advertised like it is. Too many signs showing the handsome rebellious bad bay lighting up, or the gorgeous goth punk girl taking a drag. Why can't we show them coughing up phlegm, or too weak to excercise?
Please quit allowing people to portray smoking in a positive way on your website.
Thank you.
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.

Really? Don't get me wrong, I dislike smoking a lot. I have no intentions of ever doing and I'm the first to rail on people to stop, but its stupid to really claim an add 'promotes' it. People smoke, its a bad habit people have developed just like drinking or taking drugs. Its going to happen and your going to see it in the world. Theres plenty of things out there saying why it is bad. If for the sake its used in story to develop/flesh out a character, so be it. Its silly to play ignorant that it doesn't happen.

Thank you brutha....Thank you...
I feel the satire in your message will be lost both on those that will flock to support it and those that would insert what they deem offensive in it's place while dimissing your own as inferior.

I'm more offended with the fact that you're offended by the smoking man, but the asian chick that desecrated her body with a tatoo is fine!

Are... are you serious?
You know, I went to the doctor the other day for a checkup. My cholesterol was fine, but my blood pressure was through the roof. My doctor and I couldn't figure out why, but I think you've solved the riddle for us because when I see such a ridiculous, politically correct, nonsensical complaint like this it takes every ounce of willpower I have to keep blood from shooting out of my ears.
SERIOUSLY?!?
This makes me want to go buy a pack of cigarettes, stand outside of your house, and SMOKE.
My God, I just... just... I've got nothing else to say that won't get me permabanned. Have a good day.
Edit: Nah, this can't be serious...

...but the hyper violence dosen't bother you in the slightest?
God forbid someone lives long enough in one of these games to develop lung cancer.
Doesn't the fact your avatar has armour clad Moobs disturb you more?
I think the guy with the glasses is a huge fan of the game.You know,rose tinted glasses :P
Sorry couldn't resist.
Some day I'm going to put a sword through your eye and out the back of your skull!

Pretty sure it was joking about people complaining about other ads.
However, according to professionals who study this for their work, and make more money than you do, and make important public safety recommendations on their findings, smoking is, in fact, harmful to peoples health.
Feel free to smoke, but don't do it near me. I don't want cancer because of your inability to control your addiction. When people smoke close to me I INTENTIONALLY have a huge cough directed at their face. They always get offended, and I tell them they caused much worse to me before my cough offended them.
In any event, it was a joke, so calm down and laugh. Your blood pressure is through the roof because you have no sense of humor and frequently overreact to minor things, I'd imagine.

Pretty sure smoking is a matter of personal choice, just like girls wearing bikinis, people who drink alcohol, boob jobs, abortion.
Lets derail the subject on smoking and let us focus on the huge amount of violence on the news, movies, tv shows, why are people not focusing on things that involve violence against their fellow man? Is anti-smoking propaganda really not just a waste of time when there are more important problems going on around us?
I choose "most of the above".
