Winston Cigarettes Enter to Win a Trip to Paradise and Look for New Winston Escape Goods
This was in my Inbox this morning. Seeing the title and sender, I immediately reacted with laughter. Never thought they would be so blatant about the trip they want to send people on! Almost makes smoking sound ... heavenly!
Not only that, but once I kill myself with their cigarettes and go to "Paradise" I also get to play a fun game of Hide-N-Seek, during which I can find goods that will help me escape. Escape What? Paradise? I'm dead. Where would I go?
What an absurd ad campaign!

exactly
..and also crackpot spam.
And also also not at all tempting to you, right SQuinney?
When you get there, there will be 70 virgin cancer victims waiting to greet you.
I heard a weird commercial today for some kind of stop smoking aid.
They said this stuff would work in about a week - but if you call right now you'd get a free month of stuff with your order.
If it works in a week why would I need a month plus of stuff?
Maybe they think you're really seaching for "Paradise".

Somehow that doesn't sound very tempting. :wink:
