Cigarettes + Oral Sex in France = This





















They ain't playing in France.

The Association for Nonsmokers' Rights created some ads that caused some drama. As you can see, they have a teenage boy or girl in an interesting position with a cigarette in their mouths.

Yes, you know what it looks like (some of us know all too well ;-) )
The caption reads, "Smoking means being a slave to tobacco."

The group wanted these ads to shock folks and to get young peeps talking. Well, now they got the world talking.

I think the ads are cute. What about y'all?

It's only oral sex if you think it, no? Have you seen the french HIV ads with the scorpion and spiders? There's also some of Wonder Woman and Superman dying of AIDS. They're pretty hardcore.

I'm not a smoker, but I do think it's inappropriate for their campaign. I imagine the backlash will hurt their campaign, as they have to spend time defending, explaining, and eventually apologizing.
Which dilutes their message, by reducing them to smut peddlers.
