Would you please look at what they sell?!
In vintage_ads, the LJ community where people post --wait for it!-- vintage ads, amadoj0nes posts a Camel advertising in an entry titled "Behold, a blatantly vaginophallic product mascot!" complete with the following sentence(s).

They sell a product that causes cancer.
They sell a product that causes cancer.
They sell a product that causes cancer.
They sell..a product... that causes.. cancer.
They sell a motherf*#@ing product that causes CANCER.

Mostly, folks' replies tend to be from the CRY MOAR variety, to which dear amadoj0nes answers by repeating what seems to be his signature:

They sell a product that causes cancer.

They sell.. A product... That causes...Cancer.

Help me out here. Any generation younger than mine takes about 5-6 repetitions in order for obvious things to sink in.

And people keep saying CRY MOAR.

	Clearly any two substances which can be smoked are equal in all other ways, including medical benefit, addiction potential, and bodily harm. Everybody knows that's how it works, pscha. Tobacco = marijuana = festive potpourri. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Obviously we should ban candles. In fact, all fires smoke, let's get rid of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Is it the potpourri with sparklies and stuff in it? Because now I wonder what that kind of thing could do to a body when smoked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	CLEARLY THIS IS A JOB FOR SCIENCE! and by 'science' I mostly mean 'anybody I can pay ten bucks to do this' (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Well, no, but both tobacco and marajuana are carcinogenic. So yes, there's a kind of basic contradiction there. Besides which, marajuana reeks even worse than cigarette smoke. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eh, I'd rather bong water than stale cigarette smell. Plus, cigarette smoke does worse things to my sinuses. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	But most people aren't going to mow down a dozen or more marijuana ciagrettes a day. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	And marihuana is often smoked with tobacco anyway, if you're the type to do them hand-rolled. (Reply to this)(Parent)
