A while ago I wrote about cigarette marketing in Japan and the irony of brand names like "Black Impact", "Infinity" and "Hope". The "cool but hard and manly" smokes are funny, but I was just looking down at the counter a minute ago in the konbini* when I saw the pretty pink Virginia Surimu package there (with a free sequin lighter pouch!) and thought...looks like a tini box of tampons... and was searching for the ad to make fun of them here and found this anti-smoking ad which I thought was wonderful. "You've come a long way baby; just not as far as me." Awesome.*Kombini = Japanglish for Convenient Store. convenient→conveni→kombini
