stupid fucking assholes. now i need a smoke.

How twisted is that?

what? that non-smoking campains make me want to smoke even more? pretty twisted. maybe if they weren't such douches about the way they try to get people to stop smoking i would listen.

Yes okay cigarette smoking kills more people than terrorism, but really! This is just tasteless.

What I want to know is, how many smokers have been killed by terrorists?

Also, aren't terrorism and fear mongering basically different ends of the same scale?

I gonna start smoking and then "I'm gonna kill my dog," just so I can piss these assholes and PETA off at the same time.

i like the way you think bb&b.

bedbugs: Just teach your dog to smoke, that'll do it.

I don't know which idea I like better. BB&B or Lily. I don't have any dogs but do have a 3 year old, hmmm? I could teach the 3 year old but it really wouldn't help me to piss off Peta since they hate humans. How many annoying activist groups can we piss off at one time? Think about it will I go buy some cigarettes and a puppy.

Anti-smoking ads should make me want to start smoking again. Like a pack a day.

Leave out one little word and the whole post changes meaning.

Anti-smoking ads should NOT make me want to start smoking again.

Yes, kitchy, I do see what you mean. Post 10 would get you a group of judgey non smokers all pretending to be dead from smoking on your front lawn. Post 11 would probably get you some kind of award.

Hmmm . . . now I'm thinking about it, and this is what I came up with: give a carton of cigarettes and a chicken to every gay, starving child in some under-developed African country, so that way you can piss of PETA, anti-smokers, homophobes, racists,and the NAACP all at once.

Anti-smoking ads usually have that affect on me. I always seem to light up when one comes on as my own person "Take that, jerks!" But I'm out of smokes right now. Rest assured in 20 minutes I will review this post and light up.

Don't forget giving a carton of smokes and a meatloaf out to every woman who exits an abortion clinic.

Maybe I forgot to take my indignation pill this morning, but… maybe the ad is meant to correlate terrorists with "big tobacco", in terms of causing deaths? I don't have a problem with the ad. Also, it's inept, not inapt.

Helen - that would piss off vegetarians also, don't forget!

Regardless of the RIDICULOUS comparison to terrorism, those are just really insensitive images. Think about driving down the street and seeing that on a bilboard (in NY or not). Whoever greenlit that idea should be fired asap.

um, Cord, I'm pretty sure those are just depicting smokestacks. Why do you always blow everything out of proportion? I love how everyone jumps on the bandwagon too.

read the text at the bottom of the picture emily.

It's inapt, not inept.

And even if one agrees with the statistic, the ad displays a remarkable lack of subtlety and sensitivity.

Bring back the fun gossip. This is seriously harshing my mellow (or is it mallow?).

Yeah they're just depicting smokestacks. It's not at all a 9/11 reference, regardless of what the text on the ad sasy.

Or says even. Smoking makes me type badly.

Maybe I'll just buy my dog a fur coat. Then I'll get her one of those long, 1940's cigarette holders So she can look all posh and sophisticated and whatnot. I'll feed her steak tartar for dinner every night.

And yes, it's inapt.

actually, i DO recall watching from my roof and thinking they DID look like cigarettes burning.
luckily my feelings are so numbed by the media, i am not offended.

And… Emily completely missed the action; or the bandwagon, so to speak.

seems it could go either way.

inept - : not suitable to the time, place, or occasion : inappropriate often to an absurd degree

inapt - : not apt: a: not suitable b: inept

Screw the bandwagon, I want Commies.

Yes, Curly. The point is that telling Cord that inept is the correct word is wrong. There's no need to correct the word he used.

Um, sweetheart, I was saying that BOTH sides are right. Take a drag on your cigarette and chill out.

Ok nevermind, you missed the point. *lol*

Kitchy, Curly called you sweetheart. I think he/she is in love with you.

You got this all wrong, my sweet… This is a French advertisement in support of the official commission tightening anti-smoking laws.
Stop smoking, government saves on health insurance. Bomb Twin Towers, government saves on building maintenance. Similar!!

"unthinking ad agency"…sounds like an oxymoron to me. And yeah, in this case, I think it's inept.

Happy Monday ladies :-)

Curly, Kitchy is NOT your sweetheart, she is mine. So there.

Hi hags!

ETWIN how the hell you been? Long time no talk.

Yo, Be A! I've been recovering from the flu for the last month. It must be because I am a wretched smoker.

What's up with you?

We need an ad pointing out that cigarettes kill more people than the flu. I have no idea if that's true or not. Just so long as we can find some pictures of the flu killing people while smoking.

Can we get some pics of people throwing up too Juju?

ET I am good, busy with work and staying out of rehab (again) ….Dina keeps me busy ya know

Whatever she says, DO NOT appear on that tacky-ass reality she has coming up on E!

The flu kills people while smoking? I didn't know the flu smoked.

I think a shot of Britney's bruised up roast beef bitbits, induce more cases of vomiting than the flu

I quit smoking shortly after I started and I realized that it wasn't compatible with my asthma. My dad's family all dropped dead by 60 from lung cancer, too, so smoking and I didn't get on that well.

But this ad is pretty f*cking stupid.

Of course the flu smokes, Kitchy. What else does the flu have to do all day? Infect a few thousand people, and then what? The flu has no friends but other than it's jack and cigs.

The flu has also been a very influence on rabies, diptheria, and the Olson twins, they all now smoke too

Mmmm, Jack and cigs.

Commies dammit.

government saves on building maintance.

that's gold.. GOLD, JERRY!

i missed the bandwagon. anyone know when it's scheduled to come by again?

probably best to have all the facts before you go accusing hags of jumping on a bandwagon.

(i think that is what the kids today are talking about when they say you got "pwned.")

Yes, ilnazhad, VERY well done!!! :-)

very ***BAD*** influence….goddamn rabies and smoking, now I'm all confused. Where'd I put that fuc$ing midget???

also, i reckon the unfortunate victims of 9/11 would have much preferred to enjoy a life time of smoking cool and refreshing cigarettes before meeting their demise.

does anyone watch mad men? i wish i lived in the 50s. all they did was smoke and drink. all day.

strike that, i wish i could have been a white male in the 50s. women and colored folks weren't having such a good time back then.

not that i wish i was a white male.

wait, what were we talking about?

someone stole my drink.

I will jump on the band wagon. I'll be in the smoking section. Is it going to be like a booze cruise?

Somebody say Jack? I know him very well. He says to pass this on- He dont liked no mofo flu.

THE DAY that they post an anti-smoking ad showing Britney Spears bare-bottomed and bent over her toilet with lit cigarettes coming out of her ass….
I WILL QUIT.
Until then i will be a terrorist smoking my way to certain chest decay and death.

Amanda De Cavenet: That's just begging to be photoshopped into existence.

I want Amanda to sit next to me on the smoking whores bandwagon. We'll all travel around to all types of rallys. We'll be smoking, wearing furs, carrying our liquor in plastic bags. And fucking a, we're going to litter, bitches.

Guess what Hags?! I found the bandwagon! http://10e.org/samcimg2/dpgbasha3.jpg

Ok, I'm all for debauchery and all. But really, that dog is clearly drunk and the other one is high as a kite. But I do dig his glasses and hat. I'm ok with it.

I like the way they dyed the fur red so when the petaloonies throw paint on it, it won't show. Those dogs were planning ahead.

Not to mention the yellow tarp. I take everything I said. even drunk these dogs are smarter than humans.

What you can't see in the photo BB&B posted is that the dogs' cart is being pulled by malnourished, gay, third-world orphans.

Is he this orphan wearing Hanson keds? I promise to adopt he or she later after we've reached our party destination.

The only thing that's missing is a bunch of you smokers jumping out of the windows! Sorry, that was bad and mean.

These ad people probably drive a suv.
Killing us slowing. Smokers and nonsmokers alike

That's what we're missing. A bandwagon made with a Hummer engine. I'd like to pay 100 bucks for gas a week.

SOON TO BE $200

I think this is a clever ad, though I can understand why people might find it insensitive. The analogy is NOT that smokers = terrorists, but that big tobacco companies are ostensibly responsible for more deaths than "terrorists" are.

Anti-smoking ads need to cool it. I'm of the opinion that, now that we live in the 21st century and have been inundated with scary data about what smoking does to us, blaming the tobacco industry is ridiculous. Everyone knows exactly what they may be getting into the second they take their first puff. Some of us luck out and don't get addicted, but show me one person in this country who doesn't know that the potential to become addicted is there. Maybe some (or a lot!) of Big Tobacco's tactics for selling ciggies are suspect, but are they more so than Eli Lilly's or any given alcohol company's? Lots of shit in this world is potentially harmful and potentially addictive, but nobody gets nearly as upset about the companies that sell them. Big Tobacco "kills" more people than terrorists? All right, I'll believe that when they force me to smoke like terrorists force people to blow up.

SOMEBODY IS GOING TO HAVE A FIRST CLASS TICKET TO HELL FOR THIS AD!!!!

Great ad. People do not understand that SMOKING KILLS, and that it needs to be a huge issue (just as terrorism is). The media is tired of anti smoking, so what else are they supposed to do?

I'm guessing, Ryan, they'll have to step up their campaigns even further to get our attention … possibly associating smoking with child rape (with graphic pictures, of course) … cuz "People do not understand that SMOKING KILLS"?! If there's a single person in the entire western hemisphere who has not yet wrapped their addled brain around the fact that smoking can kill you, they've have an inexorable date with Darwinism and over-the-top campaigns like this one were never gonna save their sorry backsides.

Smoke 'em if ya got 'em.

you twits. This came from the "Smoking kills more then terrorism campiagn"I forgot the statistic, but you get the point.
