Going to remind everyone right off the bat so the commercial can be discussed without running against the rules.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-forum-rules/51178-forum-rules.html

9. Flaming, trolling, other misconduct
a. These are not permitted -

  • Flaming (insults).
  • Criticising or complaining about a Moderator, or how the site is run, except via PM (private message).
  • Discussion or mention of illegal/illicit drugs or sexual content.
  • Posting of vulgar videos.
  • Obscene or vulgar language.
  • Trying to place offensive text in a post by evading the forum's built-in word censor, using symbols or alternative letters for example.
  • Multiple identities/accounts - this also applies to Facebookers. Each member is allowed only one account on the ECF Forums.
  • Improper solicitation of goods, services, or monies from suppliers or other members. ECF is a "no begging zone".
  • Trolling (includes but is not restricted to:
  • Flooding the board with comments coming from a single point of view in multiple posts.
  • Deliberately posting something which is against our forum rules.
  • Spamming for post count is against the rules.
  • Posting something deliberately inflammatory - either to start a "flame war" or simply to cause difficulties for the Moderators.
  • Posting snide comments about another member.
  • Posting repeated criticism of Moderators or their moderation activities.
  • Engaging in behaviour which is disruptive to the general operation of the Forum.
  • Comments that insult people on the basis of their sexual orientation, religion, race, nationality, or country of origin.

Let's ensure we keep it clean and above board. Thank you.

That ad absolutely stinks. Not how I care to see the industry portrayed at all.
It's a joke right? Vapor Zone's just pullin' our chain here, they wouldn't actually air that travesty would they?

We're on the razors edge on any given day with having our choices curtailed and to have the E-Cig, Personal Vaporizer or what you will, promoted with toilet humor and sexual innuendo is flat out stupid.

If this is not a joke then I feel that VaporZone done stepped in it with this one, I'll be telling them as much right now.

I'm not a fan of this at all. For a lot of reasons.

It puts ecigs in a negative light with the sexually inappropriate innuendo. It may even outrage parents who are watching TV with their kids. That is an awkward thing to watch with kids in the room.

I also have an issue with their "lab" being registered with the FDA as a tobacco provider. I wonder if this company is owned by one of the big tobacco companies.

Fortunately it looks like the commercial won't be show nationally, but unfortunately it looks like it's not a joke and it will be shown in parts of FL.

Lifted from their blog:

(If you’re watching the game in Miami or south Florida, you’ll be able to catch our original TV commercial during one of the local TV breaks. See a preview below, but be sure and tune in!!)
