Hi SheLion,

As for getting rid of the Joe Camel ads?

Yeah, Joe Camel was definitely aimed at "The Children". Of course it had nothing to do with the fact that the cigarettes are called "Camel". No, that's far too obvious.

Well, I guess Toyota is lining itself up for massive lawsuits in the future. Where we are, the Rav 4 SUV is heavily advertised around the macho exploits of - you guessed it - a camel! Well, not a real camel, but a man dressed in a camel suit. Merchandising has gone through the roof, including kids' fluffy toys, like so:-

Shame, Toyota, Shame!!! Never have I seen a more blatant attempt to induce underage driving. (After all, cartoon camels don't appeal to grown-ups, do they? It must be aimed at "The Children"!)
