As I said, I miss the good old days.
This was sent to me as an example of the long history of tobacco companies marketin' to kids.
Of course that's just nonsense. The Flintstones were a PRIME TIME show, clearly aimed at adults. I mean what kid was gonna know Stony Curtis was supposed to be Tony Curtis? Or Ann-Margrock was supposed to be Ann-Margaret?
It's all above their heads - trust me we've done the research.
It does, however, remind me of the really nice marketin' we had all lined up at Lairdare with Top Cat before the government shut us down.
Oh, and don't even get me started on what they did to us over our Tele-Tubbies campaign in 1998. Hey, three things before you judge. One, that campaign was aimed at mom's not kids. Two, who's to say Tinky Winky didn't smoke in his..her...whatever that thing is' off hours? Three, they were LIGHT cigarettes. Reduced harm people, REDUCED.
