I don't smoke anymore. That's got little to do with posters like the above; those posters are basically little reminders that tell me why I smoked in the first place. No, I quit because, one week, I went without cigarettes, and realized that not smoking made me cranky, irritable, prone to murder, and in general not fun to be around. And, in a military environment with five thousand people trying to be your friend and keep tabs on you, those were all qualities I was trying to adopt anyway.

That said, though, this is the problem, the way I see it:

Normal guy looks at an antismoking ad:
Wow. There's bad stuff I don't want to think about. And a cigarette. Maybe if I avoid the cigarette, the bad stuff won't get me.

Guy that has spent more than five minutes out of his Everquest shrine, and has seen the world for what it really is:
Wow. There's bad stuff other people don't want to think about. And a cigarette. Maybe if I smoke the cigarette, the easily frightened morons will leave me alone.

Tell me I'm wrong.

If I had a dollar for everytime my kids followed me to the garage when i smoked (so they wouldn't be subjected to it) I would actually have made more than I did selling my house.
I remember fondly, the day I decided, smoking in my house just might get the little fuckers to sleep in the garage. It was a nice dream.
However, I quit smoking when I was pregnant. Both of them were born underweight. My sister in law smoked through her whole pregnancy, and her kid was 10 fucking pounds, and healthier than mine!
And.. as for the idea that quitting smoking is the catch all for freedom???
How stupid do they think we are?
I can honestly say, I hate non-smoking advovates more than I hate christians.
True confessions are good for the soul, and adds 15 years to your life.
Oh, as a side note.. I've never had sex with a smoker who had a limp dick. Quite the contrary actually. Hmmm .. I wonder how some pro-smoking ads could be marketed.
Perhaps Skippy could be our posterboy in that regard.
Ford should concider a new cartoon for this, don't you think?

Oh, there's not. What I have a problem with is how they always scroll. Always with the scrolling. It's like they wished the blink tag worked on images, but they had to settle for something that sucked the life right out of your video memory.

I did not know this, and it annoys me. But it also makes me feel a little better, because I wasn't sure if people could come along and SA the shit out of me with their marqueeing strangeness of Princess Toadstool and Sex. Perhaps I can fix it, though.

So I'm not the only one that noticed the new KFC potatoes/corn/chicken bits/gravy/three-cheese-blend looks rather...nasty? Why cheese? WHY? I do not want to go to KFC and order a bucket of vomit. But that's just me. Anyway, these warning labels are GREAT. Ford made me my own smoking label once, with Lil' Zombie on it, and it says "WARNING: FUCK OFF OR I'LL STUB THIS OUT IN YOUR FUCKING EYE." Or something like that. I can't find it, or I'd post it. At least it's not as annoying as those fucking TruthKids. I hate those kids. Sigh. Smoking kills, but not fast enough...
