What is this idiot going to do about all the liquor and beer ads? The "kiddies" will see them TOO!
"Mommy, what is tobacco"?
A substance, honey, that was spawned from he!! but is made legal by the heavenly creatures out to protect us against ourselves by forcing us to send our money to Washington to help take care of us.
"Mommy, I don't get it"?
I don't either sweetheart, I don't either.
Just be still and accept it then someone else will take care of it.
Alas, I'm getting to think part affiliation doesn't matter anymore.
Right! Most people, even kids, that smoke or consider smoking know that it is unhealthy and will kill you. I'd rather see a resurgence of that bill calling for the deposit on cigarette butts.
Stupidity. Just as stupid as censoring all the other stuff "for the children". The government should not act as a parent.
Children should not be sheltered from advertising, nudity, swearing, violence, etc *by the government*. If a parent wants to do that, fine. The FCC, and conservative and liberal activists who try to push this nanny state bs should just get laid (hopefully with birth control so we don't have to put up with even more crybaby pussies).
What a jerk. I worry more about how many kids take a trek into the woods between classes at Bangor High School to get stoned without the school saying anything about it than tobacco ads.
I thought Federal law pre-empts state laws on tobacco ads. While the Feds have a law limiting ads the states cannot impose greater burdens.
When most of the world is against smoking maybe they have a point?
Not having ads in stores sure has discouraged marijuana smokers over the years...< /sarcasm>
"Oh, but we have to do it for the CHILLRUN!!"
Sigh...
Oh God,another "For the children" maneuver----sickening.
There was an article in the Boston Globe today about how teenage binge drinking is way up,leading to alcohol poisoning and occasionally death.
They would be better off smoking a few Marloboros but you'd never hear one of the do-gooder idiots admit it.
