Are those BB guns? Yikes! Beautiful ad, but strange. Hey, wait! Why doesn't mom have one?!
You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

That's kind of a strange one. I wonder what the rationale was behind personifying the cigarette??
This reminds me of the tobacco auction Luckies TV commercials. I posted one in the Favorite Commercial thread.

Yeah, I wondered that, too. A tea made of sage (like the culinary herb) and sulphur?
