The BRA videos are depictions of antismoking profiles. They are members of the Boat Rockers Association responding to Hairy Chestnuts' Minister of Propaganda in his Antismoking League series.
Boat Rockers Association - Training BRA in response to Anti Smoking League, Health and Safety! . This is the Moralist Antismoker.
Boat Rockers Association - Unhooked in response to Anti Smoking League, Childrens corner! . This is what we dub the "Innocent Antismoker", someone who only "knows" what they've heard in the media. However, of late, the media has been turning coat on the antismokers because they've caused so much damage to the economy and brought about the over-controlling governement to bear on free press--media types don't like that. This video does address how children are used to affect the Innocent Antismoker--and how they are actively taught to accost adults and be disrespectful.
Boat Rockers Association - Burning in response to Anti Smoking League, Age Concern! . This is the Insecure/Hurt Child Antismoker. Many antismokers are "getting back at" their parents, often but not always part of a drug culture. However, this one doesn't use the two main pothead matras--claiming offensive smell (think Lynard Skynard) and that tobacco is a "gateway drug" (recall the old anti-marijuana campaign that failed miserably with the same theme).
Boat Rockers Association - Sports BRA in response to Anti Smoking League, Apathy! . This is the Controller Antismoker. More often thatn not, this one takes the form of the controlling spouse who "forces" the supposed loved one outside to smoke--but always has something for that loved one to do when he/she is on the way outside, e.g. fetching something like a beer or wanting something done in the house. This particualr video, however, does use the pothead mantra of the supposed smell and how that can be used for controlling purposes. Honestly, though, if you listen to the ravings of those who use the first mantra--you stink, your clothes stink, your breath stinks, your hair stinks, your furniture stinks, your home stinks, your car stinks, you don't know how much you stink, etc....--then you'll quickly realize how devastating the antismoking movement has been to society. In a sane society, people would be embarrassed to behave that way in public.
Boat Rockers Association - Adjustable Straps in response to Anti Smoking League, Age Concern! . This is the Bereaved Antismoker. First, she's hurt bu a disease of someone she loves. Then, she's hurt by the death of that person. To pour salt in the wound, her grief is hijacked by the antismoking crusade, accentuating the natural anger and using it to replace the neccessary mourning and sorrow. She'll violently ignore statistics, science and facts to find a scapegoat to blame for her loss. It's truly tragic.
Boat Rockers Association - Padding the Figures in response to Anti Smoking League, Economy!. This is the Ex-Smoker Antismoker, who seems to prefer her newfound drugs to smoking and rationalizes the switch. Also, many ex-smopkers still have a strong desire to enjoy themselves with a relaxing smoke, but choose to harass those who don't inflict that punishment on themselves--it's a way to push themselves away from something that they really do want. More and more ex-smokers are pulling away from the antismoking movement, though, because they've seen how quickly it turns on them, too.
Boat Rockers Association - Lift and Separate in response to Anti Smoking League, backing the wrong horse. This is the Neurotic Antismoker. One of the better videos, if I do say so myself.
Boat Rockers Association - Underwire Support in response to Anti Smoking League, Questions!. This is the Professional Antismoker. She's so lost, tries to cover her ignorance (and some degree of greed) by trying to act professional--but she knows deep down that it harmful to try to use a scapegoat rather than find true causes and cures. This was a tough one to impersonate and I'm not overly happy with it--LOL, I used padding in this one to make it look like she'd had a boob job, addicted to medical procs, you know.
Boat Rockers Association - Expensive Lingerie and Boat Rockers Association - Expensive Lingerie2 in response to Anti Smoking League, Charity! . This is the Greedy Antismoker. Personally, I don't care for these so much. I never could get that gredy character right and I'm still disappointed with how they turned out. Ah, well. Nobody's perfect.
Boat Rockers Association - No More Sagging in response to Anti Smoking League, backing the wrong horse. This is the Self-Loathing SmokerAntismoker. Many shills try to pose as one of these but there are real ones running around, like the ones who won't smoke in their own house but don't have a problem smoking in someone else's house. It's a very dangerous road to take for individuals as well as society. This video actually depicts one who comes to terms with things and starts dealing with reality.
