FROM THE UNFORTUNATE NAME DEPARTMENT...

Could the American Cancer Society have thought of a better name for their quit-smoking campaign than the "Great American Smokeout"?

Sounds like a Cheech & Chong movie festival to me.

What makes it worse is that they feature "words of motivation" from a few celebrities, notably "super"model Christy Turlington, about quitting smoking. Now wait a second. Why did the American Cancer Society seek out Christy Turlington for a statement? Because she's famous. How did Turlington become famous? By being a stick-thin supermodel. How did she become stick thin? By smoking! Eh, screw it. (:
