<< One, Two, Three Strikes You're Out | Main | death and rebirth of the silver god >> August 10, 2007 >> Surgeon General's Warning I am trying to imagine the possible circumstances under which a smoker might pick up their half-empty pack of cigarettes and actually read the warning label on the front. Perhaps said smoker has had an uncomfortable thought and is looking for diversion. Look at the coffee table: phone bill, ingredient list on an empty beer bottle, university alumni 'newsletter'. Chances are that all of these things will trump the cigarette pack's grave warning about the link between smoking and impotency. Sure the picture's funny, but does anyone want to know the sordid details? There is something to be said for the rift between the message and receipt, between well-meant intentions and actual practice. Posted by Chris at 01:10 PM >> Commentations (1)
