This advertisement (which I refuse to show here) compares smoking to terrorism, and uses the imagery of the WTC on 9/11 in cigarette form.
I realize that marketing school is turning out those fancy edge-pusher graduates who think that shock value is the only way to get a message across, but that is going way too far.
And I’m not using caps or italics or bold or extra vowels to state that, but there is rage brewing inside of me. And I’m not going to stoop to their level by suggesting, “when your parents die in a fiery car crash please send me images of their dead bodies so I can post them on my blog and advise people to fly to their destination via [insert my favorite airline here] instead” … but I kinda wanna.
