Remembering the brilliant hypocrisy of Death Cigarettes | Dangerous Minds
Saved by uncleflo on February 6th, 2022.
The 1990s were definitely a time when the anti-smoking forces got the upper hand over the enemy for good. Airports became 95% no-smoking zones. In New York State, where I lived, Governor Mario Cuomo passed the New York Clean Indoor Air Act in 1990, which banned smoking in many environments, including stores, taxis, certain restaurants, schools, and most significantly, the majority of worksites. Once a normal smoker working at a normal job couldn’t smoke in the office, the jig was pretty much up. Years later came the stringent requirements in New York for separate and ventilated smoking facilities. With the advent of no-smoking signs and especially cancer warnings on cigarette packaging, a British entrepreneur named B.J. Cunningham spotted an opportunity to make a buck and also to be clever while doing it. In 1991 Cunningham started the Enlightened Tobacco Company—still have to chuckle at that name—which sold a product called Death Cigarettes with suitably doomy black packaging with white lettering and a skull and crossbones. The black packages contained the regulars, the white ones had Death Lights, jokingly referred to as Slow Death. The cigarettes themselves also had a demure little skull and crossbones on them.

Far from flinching at the “required” health warnings, Death Cigarettes positively reveled in them, with mordantly amusing messages like “It’s your funeral” and “Too bad, you’re gonna die.” One of their slogans was “The Grim Reaper, don’t come cheaper,” and posters for Death Cigarettes boldly bore the messages “SERIAL KILLER” and “BLOW YOURSELF AWAY.”

200 Years of Swiss Bank Secrecy Is Ending. So, Where's the Money?
Saved by uncleflo on November 13th, 2014.
A funny thing's happened in Finland. Scores of its monied elite have filed requests to correct their tax data this summer—suddenly recollecting that they'd stashed earnings away in Swiss banks. Truly, this is the end of an era, thanks entirely to a U.S.-led crackdown on tax evasion. It's also a strange new beginning. Late last May, following a yearlong criminal investigation, Swiss bank Credit Suisse AG plead guilty to aiding wealthy U.S. citizens in hiding taxable income, agreeing to pay roughly $2.6 billion in penalties for the crime (to be divvied up between the Justice Department, the Federal Reserve, and the New York State Department of Financial Services, for some reason). Credit Suisse was charged with a pattern of misconduct that included actively recruiting clients, courting them at airports, golf courses, family weddings, and elsewhere with the promise of shielding their earnings from the IRS, and then also destroying documents pertaining to these concealed accounts.

Why engineers are good in bed | WollyDong.com
Saved by uncleflo on August 27th, 2012.
Why engineers are good in bed – is an age-old belief, said to be linked more to the actions of a PR company and a wannabe model in the 1980s, than any one case study. Engineers are said to have an impeccable conduct record inside the covers of a bed. Once in a bed, engineers curl up, sleep and will not be heard to snore even once throughout the night. The reasons for this are still up for discussion between academics, although tiredness and workload have been mooted as a generally acceptable reason for this.
