The entire episode is based on a toy company trying to make children and even babies smoke. The show has great humor, but also addresses many social and ethical issues by blowing them way out of proportion.<BR/><BR/>LBgdhistory anderson becker carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439522476897611902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385701511413565002.post-64037419106474460712008-12-07T23:23:00.000-06:002008-12-07T23:23:00.000-06:00My parents ere bartenders when I was growing up, s...My parents ere bartenders when I was growing up, so I used to get a ton of these shirts. I can remember being instantly drawn to them because of the comic animated appeal of them. This was way before I ever smoked or even had the desire to smoke a cigarette.

Kids are drawn to pretty much any animal dressed in human clothing, or engaging in human activities (especially cool ones like playing darts or billiards). I think that Camel had the clear agenda of attracting a younger target audience, and I think that legislation to prevent this form of cognitive associations targeted at children is somewhat a violation of the freedom of speech, but is a necessary evil in assisting the sheparding of sheep.History of Graphic Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515528199286934919noreply@blogger.com
