Thank You For Smoking The Magical Amount

The Truth campaign, the anti-smoking activist group (which Big Tobacco must legally support per a 1998 agreement with the states) recently released this show-stopping musical warning against "the magical amount" tobacco companies use to hook nonconformist/conformist yutes of the world into believing that smoking is cool. Since when has smoking not been cool? What narcs!



I don't know about you guys but this song TOTALLY makes me want to get up and dance an Irish jig, followed by consuming an entire carton of Marlboro Reds (quite possibly the nastiest ciggs on the planet) for several hours straight, completely uninterrupted, save for routine bouts of getting jiggy wit it. That unicorn is cute! And there's a leprechaun! And a fairy! And the cutely white boy reminds me of Nickelodeon's adorable Drake Bell. Le sigh.

Big Tobacco (Philip Morris (Altria), Lorillard, RJ Reynolds, and Brown & Williamson) may be smarter than all of us. Not only do they pay for their own negative publicity, they somehow find a way to poke fun at their addicting emo-killing image, while getting the rest of us to sing and dance. Those wily emo kids. They'd be too cool to get it anyway.

Puff, puff, pass.
