Reducing the argument to it's most absurd - a debating technique that doesn't work. I think there are a couple of people who are blowing this out of proportion. Like the song I'm listening to says, "take a chill pill" (it's from the 80s). I happen to think that if you're going to ban tobacco advertising, then ban alcohol advertising as well. I don't think that doing either of these things would be a good idea as it wouldn't achieve anything. And, there are good reasons to ban pharmaceutical advertising, as I've enumerated above.

Yeah - that's it. You shouldn't have to have a Viagra logo - you should (ideally) be able to attract some other sponsor to whom no one would object, and who would be able to pay for everything.

Plus, yeah, I'd like Gandlaf to be not on the side of my car, but inside, as a co-driver. I would win with his magic power)))Martin Holmes about Sebastien Loeb: "Misery is being beaten when you just can't understand why".

You think why people like Soth Park, for example, or Simpsons? Because those cartoons have brilliant graphics or humour? No. because they're not afraid of laughing at themselves, at people.
Wearing a Viagra-sponsored suit would be just fun for me, cool. Advertising alchohol on my car is not a problem for me. it's good for holidays and I like to drink some cognac or martini on big holidays like birthdays or smth like this. But I'm a smart person and understand it's dangerous to drink it before driving. And I will never do it, though I can be their sponsor.
Advertising tobacco? No problem for me. Have you seen the lates comedy "thank you for smokin!"? if you haven't - go and watch. It raises the same plot. There you're just doing your work. But in your mind you can be against it and never use. If you're a clever person, you'll make a right choice, believe me. AD influences only on people who don't have their own mind.Martin Holmes about Sebastien Loeb: "Misery is being beaten when you just can't understand why".

I didn't mean I'd seek out tobacco money, but if it was offered I'd not say no.
