Marlboro man comes out of the closet

Funny how a small stick of highly addictive dried leaves is somehow
a female product or a male product. I have always been annoyed at
how companies target their products at certain groups.

Have you ever seen a man smoke Virginia Slims?
How about Silver Thins?

They are just a stupid advertising images that are created and promoted by marketroids, but they are tough to shake.

I wonder how the market bucked the product image and made Marlboro into a manly man's smoke.




Boy that baby is adorable, I bet he grew up to die of lung cancer.

BTW, I've been lurking for at least half a year on Cellar Image,
and just recently have decided to explore the rest of this place.
It looks like a great Cellar, aside from the problem with the mold damage in the damp corners .

(Oh, and that whole April debacle was a riot!)
