Honestly, it made me want a smoke. Might be good for those who've never smoked, but for those of us who have (and have quit), it actually created a beaut of a craving.

I think your video gives a comical look at the glamour of smoking. I think youth today need to see the side effects of smoking! I remember getting dizzy spells and a quezy stomach because of cigarettes. Thank god I quit!

innovative and catchy to the eye. Everything at first looks so pleasing and perfect, "cool", then the end comes...makes a simple statement what was seemly "cool", is no longer, there are side affects to this foolish habit. But I've bee

Pretty good movie, the music is catchy and so is the dancing!!! They have one thing right, smoking does make you feel sick! People who smoke look ridiculous with it, it doesn't make you look cool and it doesn't make you look more grown up!!!

Pretty good. I thoguht it was OK. I would have liked it better if the guy didn't puke, and maybe the dancers all started coughing, or were wearing ventilators or something.
Still very visually good.

I am not interested in stopping to smoke. 3 years ago I got rather ill, and still now I am not o.k.
If I have a bad moment I take a cigaret, and it goes again.
Of course you can say now see, it is like a drug. But i am still insisting on my smoking, and i

Engaging. It does make smoking look cool until the end!

Posted by: Linda on 21/02/06 @ 11:29 PM.

I think it was effective.As an ex smoker I know it would make me sick to have another one.

Posted by: Shaf on 22/02/06 @ 03:12 PM.

Amazing. Really well thought, timely, to the point, extremely creative and really well done. Worthy of Adbusters.

Posted by: switchwear on 22/02/06 @ 03:19 PM.

Great use of currents trends, a little edgy at the end but effective. Apple would approve i am sure. And as for adbusters, iagree.

Posted by: spandex on 22/02/06 @ 04:19 PM.

Apple fansites have been linking to this vid quite a bit, actually. And I bet they approve of ipods being given away in madebyyouth's contest just for watching the vids!
you HAVE entered, right??

Posted by: Juli on 23/02/06 @ 10:56 AM.

It was catchy. Definatly one that puts an impression and you will remember it

Posted by: Mucus on 03/02/06 @ 08:20 PM.

Worked for me - the sick was good. Enjoyed and and definitely DIDN't want to smoke.

YOu guys did a fantastic job of using pop culture, I loved it

Posted by: sujeod on 03/09/06 @ 07:30 PM.

Good but not in your face enough...

Posted by: Margo on 03/10/06 @ 04:41 PM.

Good spoof, since the commercial looked very similar to the iPod commercials, and piques the interest of viewers. It but I agree with sujeod: the commercial doesn't have the "in your face" factor.

Posted by: andrew and trevor <3 on 13/03/06 @ 08:32 PM.

smoking is underated and it gets a bad rep from punks like you

Posted by: eric on 19/03/06 @ 10:23 AM.

entertaining

Posted by: Brooklyn on 05/01/06 @ 06:15 PM.

I think its a really good idea. The ipod spoof drew my attention to the screen and I didnt really know what kind of a commercial I was watching at first. Great job!

Posted by: Taylor on 15/05/06 @ 04:57 PM.

I have nothing better to do...So, er, yeah. Good movie.
