This week terrorists, next week That One. Submit for either at lolterizt@gmail.com

Meanwhile, pass ’em around, spread the love, and if you make your own, don’t be shy about dropping a link to your pics in the comments. The more, the merrier.

NOTE TO READERS: Hovering your mouse over the picture activates closed captioning for the l33t-speak/txtmsg impaired.

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:


I’m nominating Arik for “walk a mile”. In our smoke-o-phobic culture, I assume there are some readers who’ve never heard of this ad campaign.

What say you?


PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolterizt! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.

#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.

MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.

STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.

HAT TIP: Brian of Snapped Shot‘s magnificent EvilFeed – the world’s best source for ripe-for-captioning terrorist photos.

Send your submissions to lolterizt@gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.

    Yep, I remember those. The guy would sit down, put his feet up, and there’d be the hole worn in the sole of one of his shoes.

    Somebody in the family smoked Camels, and I remember looking at the pack as a child. I think it was one of my grandfathers that showed me the outline of the man supposedly hidden in the artwork of the camel on the pack. He smoked a lot — Camels and Lucky Strike — and for many years. He stopped smoking one day … when he dropped dead at age 64.

  2. Basil, I once checked my dad’s shoes to see if they had holes in them, thinking it was the cigarettes that caused the holes, and not the walking.
    He finally kicked the habit and lived to be 94.
    Of course, his longevity cannot be linked directly to being smoke free, anymore than buying Camels could be linked directly to deteriorating shoe leather.
    But I guess it didn’t hurt.

  3. Better not ask a guy who makes Quick Draw McGraw references if he remembers old cigarette ads. I remember singing parodies like, “Winston tastes bad like a cigarette had, no filter, no flavor, just a piece of dirty toilet paper.”

    That was back when candy cigarettes were commonplace. (and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ’em!)

    The ads never got to me, apparently. Only smoked cigs and cheap cigars for maybe a few weeks in college.

  4. OMG, candy cigarettes! I haven’t thought about them in years. I used to love those things.

    “Oh, I want to get those!”

    “No, you can’t have them.”

    “Why not?”

    “Because it looks like smoking and smoking’s bad.”

    “But Granddaddy smokes.”

    “Put them down and go get in the car.”

    “Awwwww.”
