This is so silly. You can't rewrite history. Who approves something like this, the record company? Or the ex-Beatles themselves (god I hope not)?

How quaint.
Much like the mortician makes the dead look better than life.

I'd like to "airbush" out the entire decade of the 60's.
BTW, what the hell is a "Macca"?

Well, we all know that the Beatles were opposed to polluting the body with any dangerous chemicals, such as nicotine. White-washing out the cigarettes in their lives is in keeping with their image as clean-cut youths who wanted to live pure lives, unadulterated by any pharmaceuticals.

The silly buggers just get sillier!

Hollywood continues to glamorize ciggys in just about every new movie. Was gibt's? Are they out of step with their leftist idealogues?

This is directly out of Orwell's 1984. If you don't think history is not being rewritten (more important facts than whether or not someone smoked), you're living in a dream world. The debate over the separation of church and state, the 2nd Amendment, abortion, for example, all have an element of the attempt to change the past thru the rewriting of history.

Rewriting history PUFF

Also I think it is pretty hard to pin Brain Cancer on smoking? George Harrion's battle with cancer started in his lungs and throat so one can reasonably argue his smoking probably contributed to it, or at least it certainly didn't help matters. His brain cancer was not a primary cancer but was rather a metastatic cancer, spreading there from the other sites. While they don't really know what causes brain cancer, I don't think they're seriously looking at smoking, of course, since smoking has been shown to be dangerous to one's health I don't think they've ruled anything out.

You can't rewrite history. Hell you can't. History is rewritten all the time. For instance, have you considered the difference between what you learned growing up about the Founding Fathers and what is taught now?

"You can't rewrite history" Sure you can. The liberals have been doing it for years. Pretty soon the only "truth" will come from the liberal socialist gestapo.
To: ejdrapes
But Simon Clark, of pro-smoking group Forest, hit back: This is pathetic. What next? We will have to remove pipes and cigars from pictures of Sherlock Holmes and Winston Churchill. These people should stop trying to re-write history. Sorry Mr. Clark - they won't stop. They've already airbrushed out FDR's cigarette.

"Who approves something like this"
I would presume whoever holds the copyright on the photo, as well as the remaining Beatles and the families of those who have passed on.
