I recently came across an ad in a magazine that made me very angry.
The ad shows the Statue of Liberty with people sitting on its head. The caption reads:
Ever wonder why she's holding a light?
For a great smoke, take a few liberties.
I'm a smoker, but to use the symbol of freedom and hope for a cigarette ad is disgusting.
America better wake up. Our old-fashioned values and love of country are being tossed aside while we stand by and let it happen.
