Didn't like the first one, as soon as i saw the balcony i knew what would happen, but I liked the second one. I'm guessing they're both american? We have some great health ads in Britain at the moment, one for the NHS where the guy has an epilectic fit and falls down some stairs, one where a little girls bones have been broken from a car accident but they start mending again with horrid sound effects and another for smoking where the fatty build up smokers get in their ateries starts dripping out of their cigarettes. Great ones, If you can find them - post them!

We need more games!!

To whoever thought they were American: Most likely they are Canadian as Canada does not allow ANY smoking advertisement in it and many anti-smoke commercials are made. Where as in the states, more pro-smoking is advertised than anti. I didn't google it, however, so i could be wrong.

They're Canadian. Couldn't have been American because our phone numbers don't start with 0.

Ummm first off, neither do ours, naturally. Though I don't think I've ever seen the lung one aired here, I have seen the balcony one before (not sure if it was on TV or the comp).

As for the site you went to yourself, if you click on the Contact Us (http://www.smokenders.com/support1.htm) link at the top (which is where I suspect you got the number from), their address is definately american.

Still looking to find out where that lung one's from, though. Might take a while though, the computer I'm using won't let me do CTRL+F for some reason.

Didn't like the first one, as soon as i saw the balcony i knew what would happen, but I liked the second one. I'm guessing they're both american?

funny thing is, i got that commercial from a britain site. ( http://www.britain.tv/funnclips_ads.shtml) But I'm almost sure they're both american made.

Well, I didn't think either of them were that funny, probably rate them both the same for funniness. Still keep up with the updates ^_^.

i checked out the stupid.ca website and it made an interesting point, i thought that smokers were stupid, but actually, now i think that its not smokers who are stupid, but the choice to smoke is stupid. sry kewmat, cuz ur a smoker, but seriously, quit.

Ha, I guess I saw the Canadian flag on their website and assumed they were Canadian. Actually it was just link to http://www.smokenders.ca/, which is, I'm guessing based in Canada. So I guess they could be both? And that number I got is at the end of the commerical. Funny thing is it doesn't match the contact number for either of the sites. Actually, since there are those credits at the beginning I'd guess that it is the number of the CDF or one of those other two things. And I'm pretty sure that numbers in Britain start with 0s.

Pro-smoking ads arent allowed on TV in the states. We're bombarded with anti-smoking TV ads like Truth and what not. New York especially.

Ok, but you allow it in magazines don't you? WE don't even allow that. We too are bombarded by anti-smoking stuff(like AADAC)
