Excuse the change of topic:
Wow. Full page cigarette ad on the back of the sports section of the Daily
News.
Freedom of speech and all, I suppose. My 7-year old noticed it too, and
asked some
pretty good questions about it. I guess a big billboard ad like that draws
attention from
children as well as adults. Very Effective.
I heard that ABC News online was running stories about the dangers of
smoking, and
ran a banner ad for tobacco at the same time. A consumer group noticed the
paradox
and mentioned it to ABC, who promptly took all of their cigarette ads off
their web site.
Did anyone else hear about this? Does it bother anyone else to have an
invitation to
lung cancer next to your crossword puzzle?
