Srlsy. Well, smoking adverts. This is genius.
Apologies for the lack of posting. Things are insanely busy, and by the end of the day I'm pretty wiped out. The Queen Of The World has taken a hankering to "Downton Abby" on Netflix, and I've been enjoying it with her. Until last night when Matthew was killed off (spoiler alert!). It seems that ratings tanked after this; maybe people watched it because it was good escapist fun, and when you start killing off your most likable characters it's less fun?
But go read T-Bolt's suggestion. It will horrify all the Right Sort of People®.
Once upon a time when I worked in a convenience store and sold cigarettes (back in the days when they were $0.99 a pack), the most interesting smokers were those that smoke Lucky Strikes and Camel Unfiltered. They were for the most part old wizened men who obviously had no time nor care for filters.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good mnemonic.
Netflix delenda est.
ReplyDeleteI can remember my mom sending 5 year old me to buy her a pack of cigarettes from the vending machine at the bowling alley. I liked the smell of them when they weren't burning and producing a haze at my head level.
Yeah, LS/MFT is still catchy and simple. It takes true genius to come up with simple.
Speaking of coffin nails...

(It should be the link the old Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin asks his mom if he can smoke and she says sure go ahead)
