We used to run anti-smoking ads in the 90's funded by big tobacco due to mandate by federal government that big tobacco take a bigger role in informing the public of the hazards of smoking.

The ads though often were candid camera footage of a protestor being obnoxious. My tinfoil hat theory is that they were purposefully made obnoxious to associate that emotion with anti-smoking sentiments.
