I don't think that is the issue... of course people can choose for themselves to buy/use a product.... but designers can also choose not to support a particular industry they disagree with. It is a matter of principle.

Not to get into a discussion here, but... As for tobacco companies - why not? It's really up to the consumer, people really *can* decide for themselves.

I had a similar conversation recently contrasting McDonald's ill health effects to children to that of the tobacco industry marketing towards children.

I'd feel worse about doing McD's than Tobacco, hell, there are countries like Zimbabwe that survive off of Tobacco growing, etc, etc.

how many of you indirectly support these evils by say : watching TV ?
- speed_d0
viewing television is not supporting these evils... wasting your time yes... providing labor for these "evils" is a form of support

if the ads on TV make me go out and buy the product then yes, the ad worked and i supported the company/product.
but if i didn't buy it despite watching the ad then i didnt support it.

dunno, Jax about dixiecrats but Southern Baptists are headquartered here and I think they are pretty nasty. Just my personal bias as a girl still wearing the scars from having to go a Baptist middle school! ;)

I'm with Mimio, I turned down Playboy, very hard to do.
- mrdobolina0
why would you turn down playboy, you people are way too fucking sensitive.
- mrdobolina0
every business exploits something, think about it.
- TransFatty0
you're morally opposed to playboy ?
really ?
i would think of all things - playboy would be the LEAST offensive .....
i mean .... it's so benign ....
& they have such a lovely logo

seriously tho -i might understand not wanting
to do work for like -- online porn sites ... coz it's so boring and limited ....but
why are you morally opposed to working with playboy ?
