# New challenge
International Smoking Day


Following the demise of our attempts to sponsor
'International Inject Heroin into your Eyeball Day'
we've toned down our ambitions a little and would
like you to make or do stuff to promote 'International
Smoking Day.' First one to get lung cancer wins...

# I wonder if we'll get complaints?
it's the oddest stuff that people moan about. it's cruelty to animals that upsets most.

of course the only way to increase sales would be to legalise cannabis...

# it's not always
like this. But it's getting more and more like this. It used to get voted on every week, but lately the dictator has been setting them. I'll be sitting this one out. I fucking hate smoking.

# yes
I agree. Tons and tons of those smoking kills modifications on fag packets.

# history lesson
the first 20 or 30 challenges were dictator challenges. Then we went to voting. Now we're doing alternate weeks of vote and dictator.

I used to break out in sweats setting the challenges back in the day.

# aaah
I did wonder if the ratio had changed. It does make sense - I reckon the recent dictator ones have been better in general than a lot of the more recent voted ones have been. Shame about this one though!

edit - but like I've said before: a challenge I think is crap given me opportunity to make stuff that's completely irrelevent instead, so that's good!

# I hate smoking big time,
but I'm not sure that entering means that you love it - you can take the piss out of people who promote smoking just as much...

# yeah
far enough I guess. But the red mist clouds my vision of anything I could do for that!

[challenge entry] I'll give it a go


It's more than a bit crap, but I had fun for about a quarter hour anyway.
