Yeah, I totally don't get the top one. I take issue with the second one though. It says that lung cancer doesn't discriminate. Um, yes it does. Most incidents of lung cancer aren't random; in most cases lung cancer is caused by a choice, the choice to smoke. 90% of lung cancers arise because of tobacco use (I cite this statistic from a cancer awareness study in which I'm taking part). While I certainly don't think that people with lung cancer deserve to die, I do think the message of this poster is a little off.

DeleteShe's committed to her money? It's the same picture of Lincoln that's on the $5 bill, right?
ReplyDeleteUhhhh... Is it? I'd check a $5 bill, but I'm broke, and I tend to lose cash anyway, so I never have it. Ha ha. The baffling continues...
