Yet another amazing cultural document brought to you by the good folks at Camel


I was a bit surprised when I received a package from Camel Cigarettes in the mail today. I opened the fancily constructed box to find three more boxes. These were boxes of matches featuring scantily clad ladies. I am not sure if this was an attempt by the fine folks at Camel to reach out to me, a potential Camel smoker of the queer persuasion, but I felt oddly appreciated.

It is far more likely that some guy in a bar who was hocking free smokes mistook me for a dude and checked the "send copious amounts of free matches with shamelessly misogynist images on the cover" box next to my name, but still, one can dream . . .
