Philip Morris tobacco industry propaganda (1980s)

Scary + hilarious = scalarious!

Edit from original video hosted produced by Philip Morris (hosted on: http://www.archive.org)

Video features "scientist" Gray Robertson explaining that there's no health risk from from passive smoke.

Instead, it's the "invisible pollutants" in the air that are probably causing all that cancer!

And these evil pollutants can be removed by better ventilation - problem solved!

Oh yeah - this guy owned a firm called Air Conditioning & Ventilation Associates Atlantic.

And was paid by big tobacco.

According to Sourcewatch,"the tobacco industry paid him $500 a day personally, to travel all over the world giving testimony, speeches, etc., on their behalf."

Who's to say President Obama was born in the US? Who's to say Osama Bin Laden is dead? Who's to say did we really land on the moon. Omni Consumer Products from RoboCop is the only thing more eviler than big tobacco.

@heartlessvietboy or instead of tobacco cigarettes they could switch to marijuana cigarettes!

Sometimes, we have to change things for the better. It is not losing your money, it is just changing occupation. Phillip Morris can change from making cigarettes to making Corn Fuel for machinery that may still run on gasoline. They will make even more money.
