American Legacy's mock job interviews helped revive its "Truth" campaign. But after viewing these latest iterations, I think the approach has run its course. The drill's become too familiar, with the smarmy interviewer's Big Tobacco pitch predictably rebuffed by horrified job seekers. In "Customers," above, he whisks plastic figures into a wastebasket to illustrate that "one-half of the lifelong users of your product will die from it." I hoped the guy would set the toys on fire, but no such luck.
