watch it: 1960s Newport cigarette commercial


A commercial within a commercial? Trippy.

Ah, no! The happy beach smokers are jumping out of the TV!

The most wasted I’ve ever been was on an occassion when I drank way too much and smoked a couple — okay, three — cigarettes. And as a nonsmoker, the nicotine went right to my head. So maybe cigarettes could make you hallucinate people coming out of the TV. I don’t remember that happening to me. But I don’t remember a lot about that night.

I hope my mother’s not reading this.

share and enjoy
