Ciggie companies now pollute Internet

You have to give the sick, twisted scumbag people in charge of cancer-stick companies - you know, cigarettes - a lot of credit for their sheer persistence in pushing their products.

Persistence and utter bastardry, because everyone of them knows that cigarettes cause cancer and yet they continue to push their deadly products.

Now I don't mind smokers - poor sods - and people with vices (mine is tall women and the taste of relaxing alcoholic beverages) are human. But I have lost a wife or two to the Big C via ciggies (not to mention my third who eloped with the short female Spanish gardener!)

Anyway, ciggie advertising is banned in this country, and yet in the past two days I have copped two emails from online sites promoting cancer sticks and their companies.

This is not on. I get peeved off enough at weight-loss spam, barely hidden pyramid selling schemes, rip-offs - mind you, I don't mind Titillating Tarts in Strawberry Jam or some of the most wonderful contortionist pictures ever shot - but I draw the line at ciggie promotions.

Of course, you know who they are targetting - the young folk who know the Net, think smoking is "cool" or "sick" or whatever the most recent buzzword is, and who can't buy them legally over the counter.

I'm not going to pass out the names of these sites, but I will let you know their initials are F*****g A***h***s!

Be aware parents out there, the cancer sellers are still out for your kids! Watch your emails and check your browser histories!
