My name is Rove, good to have you on board...I'm a bit out of breath as I'm sure the rest of the nation are. Have we all heard the news? The revalation that was made this week by the Phillip Morris people. They have come out to say, the biggest tabacco company in the country - cigarette smoking is bad for you...My gawd ! I was just as stunned as you guys...I know...I was even more stunned when they came out and said that Harold and Madge Bishop from Neighbours aren't actually married, and Humphrey isn't even a real bear ! But it's alright - he still gets up to all manner of strife *crisis over*... But this is actually their new campaign that they're pushing to the people...A bit of an honesty campaign and I would have really liked to have been there when they were came up with it...It's almost like they ran out of ideas...they're sittin' there goin'...right, well...a new cigarette smoking campaign has to come out, oh I've got nothin', anybody got any ideas ? Um...we could tell them it kills them ?! Yeah, I love it, go with it... I also feel very sorry for all the smokers who are probably already stressed enough...and now they're going to be reading all these facts and going...oh my gawd ! Smoking causes lung cancer, and emphysema, and heart disease...oh my gawd ! I need a fag ! whew ! ahhh, that's better...and, I think the rest of the cigarette companies around the world have said that they're not going to jump onto this bandwagon...they're gonna stick to their guns and they say that they are going to have the last laugh, which is actually a (ROVE does his best impersonation of a smokers cough/laughy thing and then spits)...that last bit was unnecessary wasn't it? I'm sorry... And the worst part about this is that a lot of people have been ringing up the Phillip Morris people to get a bit more information and were a little upset when they got what they thought was a computerised answering machine message...but as it turns out, it's just that the receptionist who works at Phillip Morris (heavy smokers accent) "talks like this..." How were they to know ? Lets go chat to the cherubs on the couch. [rove home] [rove episode guide] [rove transcripts] [rove/pete/corinne/dave pics] |
