Satire - Recommend Smoking

[Vocalek]

I tried to create a Digg for this last August when I wrote it, but there was a glitch at the site and Digg couldn't locate it. Suddenly, I can Digg it.

The funny thing is that this is still "current" news, albeit tongue-in-cheek.

Comedy classic! The only criticism I have is that Doug Hole should have been named Albert or Alvin or something that starts with an "A".

Dugg it!

haha at first was saying to myself "WHAT??"
But in the last two paragraphs I caught on to the sarcasm.

I did enjoy this piece of writing but I think some people who are more naive toward e-cigarettes might take this the wrong way.

Yup, Jonathan Swift had the same problem with "A Modest Proposal."

Like Wow, Man. I saw Alan Ginsberg perform in person in Chicago in 1968.

I'm not sure if they included singers in that list of female stars that smoke, but if Carly Simon does, maybe we could get her to contact Director Urso Vien about his comments. He'd probably believe her email was about him.

Saw it and sent it to my city's new paper editor.
Going to see if they want it. Would love to see it if it is published and how the health care folks here like it.

Hmm... Maybe we should mail copies to the Senators in New York.

Maybe the more naive need to be educated ... At least those that vote !

Sorry to be the one to pick on you again Scorched but I'm going to also respectfully disagree as I'm beginning to realize the (hate this word) awesome potential in this satirical piece. It grows on me. Satire is powerful!
This needs more air. Pass it around. Use it.
...but don't forget to give credit where credit is due.

Thanks, Vocalek.
