    IS this ok by todays standards

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqb6C2Hme9w

    This was featured on tv when adults and kids alike did watch it.
    Do you think this would be ok to do in todays society to make a new commercial similar to this. I dont know if the idea would be all too common but would you have a problem with it? Or do you think it could happen in todays society?

    WAs it wrong back then do you think?

    It probably wasnt wrong back then. But I'm sure people thought it was hilarious all the same.

    Owen made this sig. R.I.P.

    You think under-age smoking increased back then?

    It makes me want to smoke a Winston Cigarette >.<
    Chuck Noblet: Can anyone tell me the tragic irony of the Trojan War? Tina? Tina: Um, that horses are friendly creatures yet a hollow, wooden one was used to destroy Troy? Chuck Noblet: Wrong and no. Anyone else? Chip? Chip: That the mighty warrior Achilles was killed by a small cut to his ankle. Chuck Noblet: Chip is wronger. OK, here it is. The tragic irony of the Trojan War is that though it was fought over Helen, who was young and beautiful, by the time they rescued her ten years later, she was old and ugly. Tina: But wasn't recovering the king's wife reward enough for the Greeks? Chuck Noblet: Tina, an ugly woman is never a reward.

    They've decided to censor Tom and Jerry here in England, and edit out any acts of smoking.

    This is amusing. And I'm sure plenty of people will get entirely the wrong idea about it.

    Honestly, I wouldn't care if they had the teletubbies or Barney promoting cigarette smoking nowadays. TV blows ass.

    It wasn't wrong back them because nobody cared. Cigarettes weren't viewed as the giant monster of death as it is today. That commercial looks like it's from the 60 and if I recall correctly, they didn't even discover that cigarettes promoted lung cancer untilt he early 70's. So yeah. It wasn't that big a deal then.

    SEXY McAWESOME TO YOU, MISTER
