Junk mail from hell
Here's a wicked piece of direct mail marketing that the mailman brought the Mrs. today:
She hasn't touched a tobacco product in 20 years.
The folks at R.J. Reynolds are really piling up the karma, wouldn't you say?

Pretty repulsive, on a couple different levels.

Its not for her, jack. That's aimed at your kids. Joe Camel knows that very few adults outside the military ever start smoking past age 18. But if you can get 'em to start young, boy howdy. And youngins are pretty price sensitive, so a coupon is likely to work. Mom and Dad look at it, instantly toss it in the recycling ... But what goes in the recycling doesn't always stay in there, does it.
Those people truly are merchants of death and misery and suffering. They are down in Neal G territory as far as which circle of hell awaits them.

YIKES!
"unwrap the rewards" right next to the warning about "this product can cause mouth cancer" Some reward!
Doesn't RJ Reynolds own Nabisco too?

Would a coupon cause somebody to start smoking? Or would it cause them to try a different brand?
In either case, vile.
