I'll add that kids CAN'T BUY CIGARETTES presently
Friend of mine walked into a shop when we were 13 and jokingly asked for a packet

They handed him one, no questions asked.

I don't think that you can really say that.

But hey, I'm honest!

Yes, yes I would do it for 2 mill, and probably even the 100 thousand. I say this for several reasons, A. kids are going to smoke anyways. Most of my friends in high school did (and still do) 10 years later, so do both of my younger siblings. and B. I don't know 99.9999999 percent of the world's population, and whether you think it's horrible to say or not, I could care less whether or not they die of lung cancer. So if I could get huge amounts of money to simply draw up an ad for a magazine or TV spot as opposed to getting small amounts of money to do tedious, strenuous, and completely shitty jobs like I've been doing, yeah, sign my ass up!

KMFDM - "Money" lyrics?

Oh, also, probably not.
I don't need very much money, much less at the guaranteed cost of countless kids lives.

if you are willing to run an advertising campaign aimed at kids for cigarrettes. One out of every ten kids that see any of these advertisements will end up becoming addicted. Subsequently, they will die due because of their habits.

Are you willing to take the job? Why or why not?

(This is purely hypothetical, I'm just curious as to how many people would actually take money over lives of their fellow men/women)

Interesting replies so far...

But how about this

You will be paid $125,000 dollars a year (without taxes and all that fun stuff that would bring it down to probably about 100,000), would you still do it?
It went from 2 million dollars to 125,000 dollars a year?

I'd do it for the millions if it meant I could afford a place with decent security and a home outside of the country where the ads would be shown. If it were to go international though I'd want more money. I would not do it for only a few hundred grand or less, as I'm fairly certain I'd need security of some kind and a big house with pre-installed security devices as well as a guard with a gun and a 'vacation' home outside the country are what could solve the problem.

Oh, and yeah I'd feel like a douche for marketing to kids but I would sure as hell try to justify that parents can just tell their kids my commercials are total BS and thus only the dumb kids will smoke and die and thus the population is culled and improved. Unless there's serious second-hand smoke... I'd still feel like a monster, but I'm sure at some point I'd try to make up for it. Maybe invest in developping cigarettes that aren't white, flaming sticks of death.

I won't... Cause advertizing for ciggarets is illegal where i live.

Also, you don't murder the kids, if advertizing is all it takes to controll their minds and lead them to their death, bad parenting killed them in the first place.

Does commercials on fancy sports cars that can drive way faster than most people can handle kill people in traffic? no people with shit for brains who don't know where to draw the line and think "hey i've got no fucking controll of this car, if the road maeks a turn i'm gonna die, maybe i should slow down" are to blame for that.

Does alchohol commercials make kids alchoholics? (16 to buy alc where i live, used to be 15)
Nah, I guess there were more alchoholics back in the day when commercials wasn't really around.

Does WoW commercials make people WoW addics?
No peoples choice to poopsock their way through the day because of a game does that.

I smoke myself btw.

Seriously, i can't stand it when people can't take responsibility for their own actions. I smoke, who do i blame for that? ME who do i turn to when i want to quit? ME. I'm sick of people blakming everyone and everything around them for every bad deccision they make. When did it become fucking illegal to think for yourself?

Besides, smoking adds has been illegal in Denmark for as long as i can remember, but 20-25% of the population are or has been smokers. So if only 1 out of 10 becomes smokers due to adds, i'll actually be saving some.

I would for three simple reasons.

1) If those who follow my ads advice start smoking, they were on their way towards doing so on their own without me pushing them.

2) Lung cancer might be a bad thing, but if having my grandfather taken away before watching my grandmother pass away taught me anything it's that it takes you from those last years of being in a bed, wearing adult diapers and being a dependent where you're not always wanted that are taken, which you can bloody well take.

3) I'm getting the money to live comfortably for my creativity, kids who are going to smoke anyway get their cigs early, everybody wins.

Screw this "moral" bull that people are talking. We all have morals, just on different levels of existence. Honestly, I'd rather get paid to watch the younger idiots who were already going to smoke up do so then not paid to do the same thing.
