It reminds me strongly of the "Tobacco is Whacko! (if you're a
teen)" ads paid for by the tobacco companies.
You know, the ones where the attractive, young, happy-looking
people were intimidated into not smoking by the dour, sour-faced
ugly old people, or fat, unstylish young people.
The ones with the totally lame slogan.
The ones with the logos meant to inspire a "Reefer Madness" vibe -
meaning, to keep the cigarette prominently in the front of the
mind, to inspire the collection of smoking kitsch, and to give, as
a whole, the message "Nobody cool wants you to stop smoking."
Those ones. It reminds me of those.
Except I don't think Phillip Morris is making billions selling bags
of gasoline on reservations.
