Today's Advertising Video

I seem to recall ads years ago for various adult products such as tobacco and alchol that used children's cartoon characters. Dr. Ben Goldacre has a British example of this. I don't know whether seeing a Dalek smoking would make me more likely to light up, but obviously someone thought it would.

I do recall that the first sponsor of The Flintstones in the US was Winston cigarettes, and I remember seeing advertisements for Winstons where Fred and Barney were getting themselves all nicotined up.
