<div align="center"><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%">Thank You For Smoking</span>Tobacco industry lobbyist Nick Naylor has a seemingly impossible task: promoting cigarette smoking in a time when the health hazards of the activity have become too plain to ignore. Nick, however, revels in his job, using argument and twisted logic to place, as often as not, his clients in the positions of either altruistic do-gooders or victims. Nick's son Joey needs to understand and respect his dad's philosophy, and Nick works hard to respond to that need without compromising his lack of values. When a beautiful news reporter betrays Nick's sexually-achieved trust, his world seems in danger of collapsing. But there's always one more coffin nail in Nick's pack. </div>Just rented it and watched it today. It was a great clever movie, what else can I say about it besides go watch it. Who has seen this?
most people in the target audience arent smart enough to know the difference....that movie had a very specific agenda....very specific, and it wasnt to make us laugh

yes...that movie is a classic Hollywood propaganda flick....they insert not-so-subtle messages in a comedy thats over the top and half the audience doesnt even realize the indoctrination is in full effect....we now live in a society in which a large portion of people say they get thier NEWS from the Daily Show....thier news!
I'm going to strongly disagree on that one, sorry. I saw it (enjoyed it very much) and the thought that you posted never once even crossed my mind.
