Pakistan Tobacco Company has embarked on a brand new campaign to save the world. Please check out this statement from their latest advert: "Pakistan Tobacco Company believes in active community service". To show its committment to communities, PTC has begun planting trees and setting up mobile dispensary units. How can a company that produces a product designed to kill have the fucking audacity to project itself as a concerned corporation (that in itself is an oxymoron)? Oh, and they also conduct Free Diabetes Screenings and Eye Camps.I guess one could argue that in a country like Pakistan, every inch of support is essential and shouldn't be scoffed at. Yeah, whatever ... BUT, this %^^#$%%!!!! company's balance sheet is dependent on people buying cancer sticks and now they want to wipe some blood off their hands. Kill a few people, plant a few trees, tell a couple of misguided village folk that their blood sugar level is high and that they should stop eating all those gulab jamuns - all in a day's work. Nice!!!!
FUCK YOU!!!!!!!! Do whatever 'good' you have to, you lame assholes, but don't flaunt it by printing full color ads in the newspaper and telling us how much you care. These ads are an insult to our intelligence. You dared to dream?? So did we! We dream of world peace, of getting children off the streets, of an end to poverty ... you dream of making money by selling DISEASE.
What a sick, twisted, pathetic, excuse of a world we inhabit - the civilized 21st century. Hah!
