Cigarette Companies Development Sense of Irony

My birthday is coming up on Thursday. Did you know that? Well, guess who did-

It seems to be saying Happy Birthday, too bad we haven’t killed you yet. Thanks, Camel. You are so dear to my heart too. Nothing says, birthdays are just another step closer to death like a birthday card from a cigarette company.

How did I end up with this absurd thing? Well. I was at a bar with a bunch of friends, okay two friends and a bunch of people I just met, celebrating someone else’s birthday. They were doing this cigarette awareness campaign and giving out free lighters. A drunk Australian asked if I would get him one since he needed an American ID. I’m a sucker. What? I like to help. Now I get a birthday wish from Camel. Thanks.

Oh, and if you were wondering, it has coupons inside. Coupons for cigarettes! But, the “offers restricted to legal age tobacco consumers.” Thank you Camel. You are oh-so thoughtful, protective of the youth yet encouraging my slow death.
