Brokeback Mountain raped the iconography of the Marlboro man. Now they're coming back around for his cigarettes.

Personally, watching this made me want to smoke a bone and I'm not even gay. Good work. I think.

They're supposed to be funny, but I just think they're ignorant.

Amazing, as usual. Nice work, Onion - the only comedy publication that was still doing comedy right after 9/11.

Personally, I find this offensive even though it was meant to be political, ironic and funny.

This is great. There is a chance that this new anti-tobacco campaing could make my dad stop smoking inside my house....

I'm being sarcastic, but the reality is that I can't make my dad stop smoking inside my house :-(

I really sympathise with you. The entire time I was growing up, I was the ONLY relative out of seven (two parents plus five sibs) who didn't smoke. I constantly had ear infections and my clothes always stank. Both parents developed heart disease at a young age, one sister has already died of lung cancer before her 55th birthday.

The ONLY good thing about smoking is you can always give a smoker an ashtray for Christmas.

I agree-- :- (
