Here’s some fun with photoshop I made after watching this on google video:

Wikipedia on Public Relations: “One of Bernays’ early clients was the tobacco industry. In 1929, he orchestrated a legendary publicity stunt aimed at persuading women to take up cigarette smoking, which was then considered unfeminine and inappropriate for women with any social standing. He initially consulted with psychoanalyst A. A. Brill, who told him that cigarettes were symbolic of the male penis. Therefore, if one wanted women to take up the habit of it was necessary to first connect the act of smoking to the idea of challenging the established male power in society. Women would smoke, he said, if the cigarette was a statement against the male-dominant ways, because this way women would symbolically have their own penises.”

Wikipedia on Joe Camel: “An Urban Legend of sorts is the resemblance of Joe Camel’s nose and snout to that of a penis and scrotum, perhaps as subliminal advertising.”

My grandmother was murdered at age 32 from mouth cancer by addiction to smoking tobacco cigarettes. . My brother is an anti-tobacco class action lawyer who proved that cigarettes are freebased to make the pH a perfect match for the brain and thus more addictive.

He created the mini-series with no thought at all to whether he’d have to clear the rights of anything in it for a DVD release.

As good or maybe better than Power of Nightmares. I really like the style that both documentary series utilize.

As long as people are able to get enough credit to pay for thier SUV and buy a nice watch, maybe get laid once in a while, they will not wake up to the atrocities that this administration is able to carry out.

The BBC relies on public funds their marketing hasn’t tapped into the desire of the masses to buy their product online.

I assume this is from the same group (BBC) that created The Power of Nightmares? Do you know if they sell these in the U.S…. I can’t seem to find any online stores selling ‘em?
