First they did it to James Dean. Took the cigarette right out of the picture. Now they've done it to Bette Davis. If you look at it, you realize her hand looks unnatural...her fingers were clearly holding a cigarette.
So here's what we do...we go to the post office and buy the stamps...then when we use them, we draw a little cartoon dialogue bubble coming from her mouth saying "where's my cigarette?"
Ideal for putting on a nice "thinking of you" card to your favorite "anti".
Here's the link to the stamp story...

Reading that idea already is making me very intrigued to do such a 'friendly reminder' flier to local anti groups in Chicago, considering how brainwashed one group(which you can see in the link below) has gotten w/hyping up the upcoming statewide ban, which campaigned for the IL statewide ban to pass. I'd obviously change the language up from "where's my cigarette", to factoids from past evidence + stories relating to how bans have already hurt private businesses, and the number of people employed in hospitality jobs, in other cities, states, and countries throughout the world:

P.S. The airbrushed cig trick which was done to those pics of James Dean and Bette Davis wasn't the first time the airbrushing cig trick has been done. I remember the first time I ever heard of any instances of that happen was when the Beatles' album Abbey Road was reissued as an album in the early 2000s, by airbrushing Paul McCartney's cigarette from his hand:

Here's my take. I first heard this stuff from a post about the French. The State sponsored Art show had the Artist airbrush a cigarette from a painting of Sartre.
These very acts of Extremism, (tampering with Icons and Art) will be another reason for their downfall, cause the General Public will say WTF ?!! |

| MAYBE...but only maybe...and only IF THEY KNOW ABOUT IT. NOTHING has been anywhere but the internet on any of this as yet. NO network or local news, no CNN, no FOX, absolutely NO TV coverage. And (sadly) that's where most mindless zombies still get what they take to be gospel. |
