High blood pressure? Don't watch this

LOL. You guys do realise that this is probably satire don't you?

I doubt very much that they're serious. They're satirising the whole "bah - pretend cigarettes - if you're going to smoke just smoke a real cigarette - ecigs are bad for all sorts of fatuous reasons" line of thinking. I'm constantly surprised by non smokers who are against smoking come out with that sort of stuff. Its like if you won't quit completely they just want you to die instead, and by cheating fate you're making them unhappy.

I presume you haven't seen BOTH these 2 twerps videos? After the first,they claim to have been contacted by an e-cig company,so I guess not satire.

Everybody just watch the vid & then hit report as spam then give a complaint & explanation . Youtube will remove it if enough people make noise.

I didn't watch the other video until now, but that looks like a bit of satirical trolling too (maybe not quite as obvious as the first one I watched with the flowers though ).

They're sitting there saying not to smoke ecigs and giving all the usual ill thought out arguments but in an overly dramatic way about how dangerous they are, telling us to smoke tobacco instead, while the guy on the right is puffing away on an ecig and taking big long draws on it that he inhales deeply.

Regards the ecig company contact, I think they were making out that it was a big conspiracy and the people commenting on them were being sent out by the ecig companies (a parody of the 'astro-turfing' accusations perhaps?).

Maybe I'm reading too much into it and these really two really are as silly as they appear, but I doubt it myself.

P.S. Look at their top comment/response on youtube:

"You weak minded people couldn't just quit smoking so you had to make a fake cigarette with shiny lights an endless selection of delicious flavors laced with death that seduce our kids into dangerous addictions and lifestyles. Shame onto you."

If that's not a piss take (particularly as they're promoting smoking tobacco in their videos at the same time), I'd be amazed.

I may be wrong, but the impression I'm getting here is that the anti-vaping crowds arguments and actions are often so silly and irrational, its difficult for people to spot a parody of them as the difference between reality and the joke version is so subtle.

I may be completely wrong, but that's the way it looks to me at the moment.

I'm amazed that anyone would be remotely interested in analysing those 2 pillocks that closely,I don't find their comments "satirical" just moronic.

I didn't need to sit here analysing them. It just made me laugh because I recognised it for what I think it is immediately. I don't need to analyse monty python or the office to find it funny either.

I may be completely wrong of course, but their arguments seem to be a big piss take of the anti-vaping movement (I know its tempting to react negatively because there are so many idiots out there for real not too far away from these too, but if you think about it for a moment they're hitting on lots of arguments we have against the anti-vapers quite cleverly to troll for a laugh). Right down to the swivel eyed loon display, the "this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs" advert that's so famous in the US, only with flowers rather than eggs this time, them being OK with tobacco cigarettes but not vaping, the "delicious flavors laced with death" comment, the whole astroturfing conspiracy thing.

If it's not a deliberate satire, then they've achieved the same thing accidentally imho, and I found it quite funny anyway.

I don't find their comments "satirical" just moronic.

I think that's the whole point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parody

" is an imitative work created to mock, comment on or trivialize an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of satiric or ironic imitation."

There's the rub...you find Monty Python funny,so do I...you find the Office funny,I don't.I think Ricky Gervais is so depressing I'd sooner watch a public execution.

Humour is so similar to taste,eg:some love the taste of sour cream,I'm allergic to it so don't mind not liking the taste.
