I think Joe Camel deserves an apology.

Joe Camel rocked. He should be resurrected into an animated series or something.

Well, it's good to know dolls and cartoon characters can't be used to promote evil tobacco use.

Gay dolls who are emancipated from the confining aspects of petit bourgeois morality are good, though. And gay cartoons? Well, we all know that the kiddies could use a little Marxist egalitarian brainwashing.

Actually, Joe tried to resurrect his career -- but was diagnosed with lung cancer days after he began his comeback.

At the outset of aggressive treatments with gemcitabine and cisplatin, he changed his name to "Joe Chemo" to bring the message of the dangers of smoking to a wider audience.

Sadly, the chemotherapy failed to stem the spread of the cancer to Joe's liver and brain.
