"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.
Oh thank you! I love them. I save a lot of images! :) Let me share this one with you. It's a hoot......
I think if anyone needs a good laugh, this image will do it!
Too cute! Thanks!
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!
Hey coolbreeze...........readup!!!!
ROFL! Too cute.......
Especially considering my daughter came to the window about 10 minutes ago "Mommy, Mommy, come see this, it's so cute"
It was a toad...........I kid you not.
The next Ad I expect to see is
If you smoke your head will explode and spew brains everywhere.. Don't smoke
It never Ceases to amaze me way out there the antis will go to claim smoking is "dangerous" lol
Oh yes! You should see the rediculous anti-smoking ad on our TV in Maine, put together by teen-agers. Partnership for a Tobacco Free Maine gave them the money to do it.
All funded by the taxes that smoker's in Maine pay on cigarettes. Talk about rediculous abuse!
No kidding! Did it grin and have a mouthful of teeth? hehe!
LOL!!!! No mouthful of teeth, at least from what I could see.
This child of mine is hilarious....she thinks nothing of chasing toads and lizards and wants to make pets out of earthworms.......but let there be a moth in the house - she goes ballistic into panic!!!!
I guess I did similar things when I was 6..though not on such a regular basis. I lived in the city and didn't have the advantage she has of living in the country.
OH wait, what am I talking about?........I'm a smoker...smokers are child abusers and never do anything for their children, let alone make sure they have advantages that mom and dad didn't have. silly me.
Don't ya just love the stuff the antis actually believe about smokers???????
God love ya,' She.
I have two toads in my garden (I even made them a little house out of a clay pot turned upside down.)
I had turned the dogs' water bowl over a few weeks ago to wash it and Huge Toad was underneath it. I stuck him out in the garden with Small Toad.
The weirdest thing is, I found a solid black toad out on the lakefront a few months ago. I looked it up on the web and in some of my animal books and I can't find it. I'm not kidding, it looked like a charcoal briquet that hopped.
I have 37 years' worth of Cliff Notes available, as a public service.....
I have no problems with toads.....but I will NOT go so far as to take care of them as you describe. LOL!
We've got a creek running along the north side of the property, so there are always toads around here.
The first one I encountered here was last year when we were putting plants into the garden....I picked up a pack of plants out of the flat and the toad that had been under it landed on my lap.......startled me to absolutely no end. It was funny....ask my husband or daughter - they both died laughing over my reaction.
ROFLMBO!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, I just overturned a broken pot for them. (Look in the chi-chi home and garden mags. They'll sell you a toad house for about $30. Not. Broken pot works.)
I wanted them to stay put since they eat all the bugs. Of course, I haven't seen them since I relocated them. Perhaps I wasted my effort? I have a resident cottontail rabbit who has figured out how to get through the rabbit fence, though.
Thank Gawd I started smoking at an early age! ; ) hehe...
LOL!!!!!!!!
There's so much overturned stuff around here that half the time I'm afraid to pick anything up because of what may pop out at me!!!!! I'm dreading dealing with the sandbox....but I'm going to have to do that tomorrow.
Even though the garden is more than a football field away from the house (and equally as large)and where the dogs never are, I have not had a problem with bunnies....knock on wood.
hehe.....is right!!!!!!!!
Too funny!!!!
Wear gloves is my rule. I picked up Huge Toad and removed him from the lakeside to the street side that way.
I am always terrified to clean the gutters on the "barn" or move the wheelbarrow because it's spidertown USA here.
I hate to go broom off the boat dock and climb in the boat when we haven't used it for the last three days because of the cobwebs and the wasps.
Hubby was painting the house last year and got stung by a wasp. His arm swole up like Popeye. He has asthma and I am afraid he'll go into anaphalactic (sp) shock next time.
Too funny!!!!
Hey! I resemble those remarks!! ; )
Gawd only knows the horrors that I may have bestowed upon loved (snicker) ones if I wasn't a smoker! Loved one's have been wonderfully content even with (or most likely because of) the affects of smoking.... : ) LoL's!
