Hulk Movie Threatens Kid-Kind by Encouraging Smoking!

This is a little excerpt thez0rk and I have been discussing:

"Shame on 'The Incredible hulk' for unnecessarily adding smoking to a sequel that would have been just as exciting and believable without it," said Dianne Fenyk, President of the Alliance. "Universal Studios and the other Hollywood studios should be especially embarrassed for using comic book movies, which they market to children and know youth will want to see, to promote tobacco."

As thez0rk puts it, "The fact that people would think that kids would want to smoke because some 60 year old General in a movie chomps on a cigar. Fucking christ."

I can see the commercial for this:

"Hey kids (big phoney happy voice), you loved the evil, age-spotted General in the hit movie The Incredible Hulk starring Edward Norton. Now you too can be like him by spending your down time between bicycle rides and sandlot baseball games by chomping away on the brand of cigars and cigarillos that you've come to know and trust, Dutch Masters. Smoke 'em if you got 'em."

thez0rk added, "Can you imagine what pussies kids are going to grow up to be? Imagine they're off to college and they see somebody smoking outside a bar....it'll be the mental equivalent of seeing somebody shoot up heroin."

You know, I can't say I noticed a cigar at any point in the movie...especially a flick as fast paced as this.
