There is so much fail in just this one post.
First, you may be too stupid to decide what's good or bad for you, but that doesn't mean that the rest of us are.
Second, who are you to decide what other people should like, consume, or use?
Third, there is no 'moral' issue here. This is simply a matter of control. You want to dictate to other people based on your own perception of right and wrong.
Fourth, I am going to explain some things to you that everyone else automatically knows:
- If you consume or use too much of something that is not good for you, you will be unhealthy
- If you use things in moderation you generally won't have a problem
- If you use or consume something unhealthy, that's your decision. No one else is forcing you or is to blame. Take responsibility for your own decisions.
Fifth, if you are really outraged by an advertisement, your priorities are badly skewed.
Six, and before you ask, no, I couldn't care less if they advertised tobacco, booze, energy drinks, or anything else....see the list of things you should automatically know above.
Seventh, no advertisement is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to buy, consume, or use something. If you're so weak-minded that seeing an advertisement compels you to purchase something beyond your ability to make a reasoned decision, then you need some serious help.
Finally, save your outrage something that matters. There are many people that use or consume unhealthy products to extremes and pay the health penalty. However, a spoon never made anyone fat, and tobacco companies never forced anyone to smoke. Start taking responsibility for your own decisions, and frankly, expect others to do the same.
