Bullshit Anti-Smoking Ads

These anti-smoking ads are really annoying.  The ones with people peeling their skin off and pulling their teeth out were gross enough.  Those won't make me want to stop smoking, they just make me change the channel.  These "swipe it left" commercials are even more obnoxious.

This guy is turning down a girl because she smokes? He looks like a hobo, and he's going to have a heart attack by the time he finishes eating.  Seriously, why is all that shit there?  I doubt even a competitive eater could finish all of the food on that table in one sitting.


Who would want to date him anyway?  He has poor hygiene, he's a glutton, he's messy, and he has anger issues.

Oh yeah, that's sexy.

He's throwing onion rings in the seat and flicking strawberries on the floor, then he starts throwing a tantrum and knocks plates of food on the floor.

 

  What a fucking slob.  Then he starts eating again. Did he pick up the food off the floor or did he order MORE food? This guy's disgusting. He's knocked that strawberry over twice now and this is a different scene.

Oh, and the girl he's looking at is 19.  This guy has to be 35.  What is he, a rapist?




Then they have this trashy gap-toothed trailer girl singing the "hook".  It's one of those catchy songs that gets stuck in your head and makes you want to punch the singer in the mouth so they shut up.

I hope they at least paid her enough to get those teeth fixed.

And then there's a bunch of weird shit going on in the background.  From gay guys and slutty Catholic schoolgirls dancing in the background to horses and penguin-dolphin hybrids.

Without any kind of audio cues I would think this was a gay pride commercial.

AMD Raptr Malware

It was bad enough that AMD started pushing Catalyst Control Center with its drivers instead of just allowing the drivers themselves, but a while back they also started including malware named "Raptr".  Raptr is similar to xfire (and was founded by one of the co-founders of xfire) except that it gets installed automatically without you asking for it, displays ads, and sends your system information to AMD.  So it is malware, adware, and spyware.

It is possible to uncheck the box during driver installation, except in the installer it is listed as "AMD Gaming Evolved", which you would think went along with the Catalyst Control Center.  If Raptr and AMD were so proud of this software they wouldn't have to sneak it into another installer.

Fuck you, AMD.
