They pick a subject and typically present it with their biased opinion. 
Currently watching the one on E-Cigarettes: How horrible and addictive they are...... preying on unsuspecting people (especially children)

This reminds me of so many other materials....... nicotine, alcohol, drugs, sugar.......... we know everything is not perfectly healthy, right?

Teens just quoted as saying they didn't know vaping/nicotine could even be addictive.
The head of Tobacco Free Kids also says they're using the same insidious advertising tricks as Big Tobacco was banned from using.
Sorry, but I've never bought into the premise that Joe Camel was dangerous advertising. But I watched Warner Bros for years and never once shot anyone in the face or drove a vehicle off a cliff.

And you can bet that the people making documentaries denouncing vapes have been handsomely paid by cigarette companies |

Actually, they were bitching earlier that Big Tobacco has been acquiring many of these vaping companies. So that they get your business no matter which option you choose.
My wife is pissed because she was forced to quit smoking.......so she went to vaping. Then they banned fruity flavors (to protect the children) .....and now they're banning Sellers from sending their products thru the mail.
Meanwhile the 12 yr olds are still getting meth |

2. Sounds like a good time to open a vape shop
3. "Pop Up Stores" are a great business model, aren't they?

1. Agreed. Plus, if you're the owner of a small start up, isn't THAT part of the dream, too? To get bought off by a mega-corp? The next episode is called "Deadly Dressers" about the number of injuries/deaths from falling furniture.
2. Not in the US. They're doing what they can to kill off small business.
3. The internet sales seems the way to go.....IF the USPS or Facebook/Amazon doesn't ban you, of course

1. As filmed by Fail Army?
2. Corporatism. Why people confuse it with true capitalism, I'll never know
3. But if the US legalizes and decriminalizes pot, you can bet your ass the above mentioned entities will be on top of lifting bans.

1. HEY! Those were some people's small children!! That may have grown up to be excellent mountain climbers or sky divers!
2. Who's more to blame, though? Confused people who never see it? Or Govts that won't even allow it?
3. They have to approve, otherwise their puppets will never vote to legalize it. We can't have Freedom and Responsibility |

2. Both, as one group elects the other
3. True dat!

1. I was just watching something that had housing regulations..........so all major appliances, (and furniture I'd guess too) had to be bolted to walls to prevent injury in order to be accepted to Federal Housing funding.
Crazy, innit? Fridges, stoves, every dresser now. Why not just require Bubble Wrap for everyone? Reminds me of a piece I caught decrying how auto manufacturers haven't done enough to make vehicles more pillowing soft on the outside for when they'll inevitably plow into pedestrians

Are you a fan of these Michael Moore types of Docs?
I'll watch some for the giggles........but I feel they could be wrapped up in about 3 minutes since they're so clear in their opinions from the start
