Swedes Lie, People Die (Smoke Nazis Alert)
Opinion Journal
Posted on 07/20/2004 12:53:26 PM PDT by annyokie
"The Swedish organization A Non Smoking Generation covered Stockholm in posters claiming that smoking stunts penis growth and that cigarette filters are filled with mouse excrements, along with other lies aimed at getting kids to stop smoking," Agence France-Presse reports:
"We wanted to raise awareness about how the tobacco industry always promotes its products--through lies," head of the organization Anne-Therese Enarsson told AFP.
"Our lies are so exaggerated that we hope they will make people stop and think, and then come to our website to find the truth," she added.
One wonders if it's occurred to ANSG that their lies will make youngsters less likely to believe them when they do tell the truth.

Years ago when they first started letting female sports reporters into NFL locker rooms, a woman from the Boston Herald entered the Patriots locker after a game and one of the Pats removed his towel and said (and I paraphrase from memory), "What do you think this is, Baby?"
Her reply was the now famous, "Looks like a penis, only smaller."

Of my visit to NY City, I remember only 15 cent subway fares and Nedick's Hotdogs.
And mad bombers.

"But Europe is upside-down land. Criminals are coddled while society is blamed for crimes, the successful are punished while the lazy are rewarded, and terrorists are excused while their American victims are condemned. Hmm. Kinda reminds me of what liberals would do to America if they had the chance."
"would do"? Are you kidding, The American Lib commies have been successfully working at it since the 1950's and they're about 70% there now. They're nefarious lawyers have been working overtime turning the criminals into victims and vice versa. Thanks to programable android actors such as Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins. Freakin pod people from outer space. Nauseating excuses for humans.
