Comments on: Smoking Room Image http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2006/07/31/smoking-room-image/ Utterly random, incoherent and disjointed rants and ramblings...

I saw them a while ago when they were popping up at boingboing. Sigh... How come no one does any cool stuff like that in my area. All we get around here is crap like this: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maciak/161868960/" title="Photo Sharing" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/58/161868960_1993c4fd4d_s.jpg" width="75" height="75" alt="Street Crossing Scupture" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maciak/35193830/" title="Photo Sharing" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/33/35193830_7757ddf854_s.jpg" width="75" height="75" alt="Spring Reader" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maciak/27436783/" title="Photo Sharing" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/21/27436783_7cfe7dd001_s.jpg" width="75" height="75" alt="Stones 3" /></a> Yeah, these are great!

It is a little condescending. I do like the artistic touch though. It is a really striking image - smoking room or not. You know, I didn’t look at it this way, but you are right.

My wife just told me about this thing a couple of days ago. She got it in her email. I guess it's making the rounds. I'm not a smoker and I really hate having to inhale someone else's smoke, but to be quite honest, I find that this sort of thing is just silly, if not insulting. I mean, after we stick'em in a room so that they smoke all by themselves (not hurting anyone but themselves) now we preach to them about how dangerous smoking is, like they don't already know? I don't know, it seems a bit over the top if you ask me. Just my 2 cents. It’s funny that you should post that. My wife just told me about this thing a couple of days ago. She got it in her email.
