"Hipster" as pejorative.

also that dude is wearing a v neck

what is this 2007

awful

it's terrible that this is what i'm thinking about but why is he naming his free trade bike service after 'screaming infidelities'? is there going to be hair in the coffee?

Is the "Portland Craigslist" line just a reference to "Lol there are a lot of hipsters in Portland" ... it really doesn't make any sense otherwise, like if someone wanted to buy records without seeing them and pay shipping, they'd just look on ebay or discogs or something, right?

I think the person who wrote this maybe has seen "Garden State" before but pretty much nothing else.

Maybe they're watching that Portlandia show on IFC?

I like how, without the ability to draw arms, it looks like mr. moustache is wearing a Larry the Cable Guy sleeveless rag.

i refuse to let that cartoon ruin my day

it already has ruined my day

"brimming with light-hearted angst, and rebellion with break free spirit."

haha this is amazing

xp (good cartoons 2 unruin yr day)

oh yah is that from those cigs? those sounded hilarious. i guess they've done 'em for a couple cities, cuz i've seen these las vegas-branded ones at gas stations around here (in north carolina, lol) — actually bought a pack one time and remember it having similarly funny cornball marketing-speak all over it, but I didn't save the pack

mostly the vegas one was hilarious for the overstuffed "FUN!!!" graphic design with like multi-colored fireworks and flashing marquee letters and shit

I guess they're targeting "places where ppl smoke"?

tkx for the hugs, bernard (mr.) snowy. feel much better now.

lol, this shit reads like an onion article:

“The fact that they’re designing a cigarette pack around our wonderful city just really shows what lengths the tobacco industry will go to to market their product and hook more people,” said Southern Nevada Health District Tobacco Control Coordinator Maria Azzarelli.

Others disagree with the health district and welcome the publicity. “I want that pack,” one Las Vegas resident said.

just wanted to join the ppl pointing and laughing at the Dashboard Confessional reference

lol "Dashboard Confessional"

in knoxville i got a pack with new orleans on the front. i asked the woman behind the counter what the deal was and she was like "honey i don't know. i wouldn't mind going there some time though." and i was like "me neither, that's not going to happen any time soon though!" and we laughed. because we couldn't afford to visit new orleans. so thank you, camel, for bringing a little "cajun flava" into our lives via the medium of cigarette package designs. i could almost smell the gumbo. except that years of smoking have damaged my sense of smell.

Camels are so sick

you mean like sick sick or sick sick?

I just mean the smell and taste of them makes me sick.
Sorry, posting without really thinking.
Carry on, thread.

Drum tobacco are doing something similar in the UK. I have no idea what the point is though.

i remember in like 2001 i bought a pack of camels in a casino which was decorated with a shitty illustration of a vegas-style showgirl with a feathered headdress & bikini top. later (stoned) i noticed that the bikini top kinda looked like sunglasses which led to the sudden realization that her weirdly formed shoulders and midriff were ACTUALLY the respective forehead and snout of a SUBLIMINAL JOE CAMEL.

xp

i remember those packs. do they still do camel cash? we used to hoard those in high school.

if you still smoke cigarettes, you deserve to be talked down to

Sorry Mom

... forgot to take out the trash?

i got a nice camel koozie with some camel cash back in the day

i was saving up for the camel island. 8 miles of unspoiled beaches and a cabana with an iron lung in it.

Back in the 90s I went to a Violent Femmes afternoon concert that was open only to people with a certain amount of Marlboro miles. I had a friend who horded the miles so he took a whole bunch of us to this show. Suffice it to say not too many other people turned up for this.

It was a weird show.

if you still smoke cigarettes, you deserve to be talked down to

classist elitism imo

they're great if u spend a lot of time outside in winter, waiting for buses in the rain, etc

- driving in a car with no heat

- trying to cover up smell of w33d

- after fighting someone

i'm not really sure where i'm going this. mostly the buses, that's probably the #1 thing that foils any quitting attempts of mine

i'm down to one a night. nice wind-down with some wine on the balcony. smoking american spirits *hipster brand*

smokers are jokers fwiw

i've been rolling my own for a while now, mostly to save money. trying not to smoke more than 4-5 a day tho, them fuckers are harsh. (also helps to just sorta puff at it like a cigar sometimes instead of taking a drag)

lol @ hipster thread turning into cigarette thread, I guess Camel wins

Joe Camel is an OG hipster

like if dashboard confessional is the most obscure thing u can think of, u r not hip, probably do not kno any hip ppl, and have no business writing abt hipsters

that's the joke

the joke is that hipsters aren't very good at what they do?

or that hes not a hipster *makes u think*

Everyone knows American Spirits are what real hip people smoke nowadays. Parliament Lights were 2005. Camel is like when you're just getting into smoking.

yeah right now i'm really into this old school band, blink-182, u probably never heard of them
