You just reminded me of a very bad moment I had with my wife last night...
I had tried to bury it in my subconscious to never be heard from again...
She is almost as mad as I am about those commercials with the kids and vaping products.
She fully realizes how ridiculous they are, and supports my righteous anger.
But then she started saying that it's not like when the tobacco companies were marketing to kids.
What? Seriously? I didn't know she was still brainwashed.
I asked her when and how did Big tobacco market to kids, and she says Joe Camel.
What? Seriously?
I asked her if Mr. Clean with Liquid Muscle in yummy lemon flavors was marketed to kids.
That kind of left her speechless.
But then I asked if she had any other examples besides Joe Camel.
Like was the Marlboro Man aimed at kids too?
She couldn't think of any other examples other than Joe Camel, which is already a bogus example.
And then I didn't know whether to laugh at her, or cry for our future.
My own wife mind you.
Jesus.
As we get older.. the more time we spend sleeping on the couch. I have learned the art of selective hearing... Doesn't help that I am the only male in the family.
