You mena we could have prevented our levees from breaking with cigarettes? That would be a lot more cost-effective.

Man fantastic. Initial reaction is they're dogshit without the Japanese text, but the further you read the better they get. Depends on how many you've come across already. They're big nerd collector items in the land of origin and have rather a lot more humour in them than most bilingual campaigns, Engrish or no. Especially compared to the West's heavy "Smoking makes your parents worry, IT IS OKAY TO HEROICALLY REFUSE!" crap, and of course the recent and failed Truth.com barrel roller. How you want to bet most of the kids driving around the country volunteering for that ridiculous shit were enjoying loads of the OTHER kind of Truth, and surely they carried more lighters and engaged in more bohemian clambakes than chainsmoking salarimen have any chance at.
