Tobacco Advertising
My wife brought me to this site, inadvertently, as she was researching tobacco advertising to enlighten her class -- and having met her students, I have no fear that the local McDonald's will replace staff with robots anytime soon -- there's a batch of burger flippers coming in the latest generation. But I digress -- tobacco advertisting -- Richard W. Pollay of the University of British Columbia, has put online his collection of thousands of tobacco ads and anti-smoking ads -- an example of how an industry faced with mounting evidence of the dangers of their products, continue to produce, promote and forage for new customers to poison.
Blogs of Note
Who Would Jesus Hate? -- described as providing "anecdotal evidence of how religion is on the wrong side of every social issue." Fugetaboutit! -- hilarious site from a "48-year-old shrinking Italian comedian ." Take the tagline for instance: "I saw the face of Jesus in my lasagna ... briefly."
