It's time to light up a cancer stick and get down to brass tacks about tobacco!
Dredged from the vaulted archives of the FUNHOUSE, 1997's BSTF #117 "Smoke 'Em If Ya Git 'Em" show was one of my finest efforts--and then I went back in and retooled it into something even MOAR insidious than it was! You'll hear audiomontages of those cigarette theme songs and commercials that you haven't heard in a couple generations, but that's not all... I researched the HELL out of this one to deliver up a ten-minute Flooze's overview of the history of the insidious works of the Conspiracy's Tobacco Empire, including data manipulation, secret deals to kneecap the antismoking lobby, slave labor on third-world tobacco plantations, and the hybrid Y-1 tobacco plants that bear ultrahigh doses of nicotine--all themes reiterated in the congressional hearings where the weaselous Big Tobacco honchos got dragged into the light and grilled on live teevee! I can state with confidence that you can't be unaffected by this show--by the time it's over, you'll either have stopped smoking, started smoking, or made no change at all.
With music and more by World Entertainment War, The Tubes, The Pair, Gary Paxton (the neckbearded goofy crooner who actually fucked Tammy Faye Bakker, eesh!), Norman Bates and the Showerheads, Archie Campbell interviewing a young Junior Samples, Shel Silverstein, and the smokin' hot JULIE LONDON. *Gnarrf!*
