I just wrote an email to the FCC to ask about 'TheTruth.com' TV commercials.

I am writing to find out about the So Called Ads from The Truth.com and how they go about proving the Facts they claim to use on TV? I do not believe them and if they are not 100% Fact I would really like to see them taken off TV. Is there away to get a petition going to get them taken off TV? Its all one sided and the Tobacco Company's do not have a chance to rebut them which I don't think is fair. Thank you for your time.

what if they're true?

No, they are not 100% fact.

But as long as they have people willing to supply them money, and as long as TV stations are willing to take their ad revenue, the attempt to get them to stop doing ads will be utterly futile.

If having ads pitched because of falsehoods was a norm, you'd never be able to get a political ad on the airwaves.

I don't think Tide cleans clothes as good as the commercials makes it seem. Let's get rid of Tide commercials.

My McDonalds hamburger wasn't as big as it looked in the commercial. Let's get rid of McDonalds commercials.

Viagra didn't make me have sex like the happy 55 yr old in the commercial. Let's get rid of Viagra commercials.

Geiko didn't save me 15% on my car insurance. Let's get rid of Geiko commercials.

Head-on didn't get rid of my headache like the commercial implied that it would. Let's get rid of Head-on commercials.

The price Delta was promoting on the commercial was full of hidden fees. Let's get rid of Delta commercials.

DirectTV was promoting a package with a lot of channels while giving the price of the lowest priced package. Let's get rid of DirectTV commercials.

My local Dodge dealership ran a commercial that said I didn't have to pay a downpayment but I ended up having to. Let's get rid of Dodge commercials.

Get where I'm going with this? Assuming you are able to believe what a commercial is telling you is like assuming something's true because it was on the internet.

It's advertisement for whatever item or platform someone is selling. It's not a debate that tobacco companies aren't allowed to respond to. It's advertisement.

They are not 100% True.

Not really Country because all the other commercials you mentioned are not trying to scare the majority of people into taking away rights of the minority of people from using those products with possibly 10% truth and 90% LIES.

Its not just because they are annoyingly Stupid but they are trying to take away something I enjoy or places to enjoy it. Its like the old saying 'If you can't dazzle them brilliance baffle them with BullSh(T, or in this case scare them with 'being around a smoker will KILL you with Second Hand Smoke'

They are only selling paranoia.

Sorry I know I am ranting but those commercials just Piss me off to no end.

If you take them off the air for selling paranoia than all the news stations are gonna have to go as well.

No because they are not trying to kill an industry.

They are trying to turn the country into non-thinking sheep.

so killing an industry is worth taking up arms before killing a country?

what country is being killed because of commercials?

Yeah an don't get me started on obama's campaign promises. Yeah truth in advertising, uhuh uhuh uhuh.

I wrote an email to these douchebags back in 1999. I still smoked cigs and I basically told them to STFU. People that smoke know the ramifications and do so willingly.

They wrote back some crap like "sorry you feel that way, hopefully we can make a change.....blah blah blah."

I never said anything about commercials ruining a country, Biker. I was referring to your statement that the media is trying to turn this country into mindless sheep. Just wondering if that was true, why you aren't signing a petition for that rather than some silly commercials.
