Pretty girls get Europeans to smoke more on Perivolas beach in Santorini

I’m totally addicted to this new show called Mad Men. It’s about ad men in the sixties. It’s from the director of the Sopranos. The show takes place in the sixties and having not grown up in that era it’s incredible to see how much people actually smoked back then. The doctor while doing an exam, a pregnant lady while drinking a glass of wine or even in the elevator on the way up to the office. I just watched an episode on how Lucky Strikes came to the ad guys for help because someone had mad a preposterous claim that cigarette smoking cause lung cancer. The tobacco company said “that’s insane everyone knows that even doctors smoke”! It blew me away that this really went down. I couldn’t believe how successful Madison avenue was at keeping people smoking. Smoking in Europe has always been big, although it’s definitely declining.

Yesterday we hit Perivolas’s black sand beach in Santorini. There right before my ouzo soaked eyes, I see chicks in red and white Marlboro outfits cruising the beach looking for prey. In the states, we had the Marlboro man doing the dirty work keeping us hooked. In Europe, they have chicks in sexy outfits on the beach. I suppose there’s no better way to keep a European smoking than to wrap a cigarette up in a pretty girl and put her on the beaches of the Greek Isles.

Here’s a short video of the Marlboro girls in action…..
