► xmasflix.com LUCKY STRIKE CIGARETTES Christmas Commercial … uhmm… wait … did Dorothy Collins just say the “C” word on TV?! (gasp!) At the end of the video are some photos of advertisements they used in magazines during the holidays, and the musical interlude is the heavenly intonations of The Del Rubio Triplets. “xmasflix” is a celebration of holiday cheese with entertainment of the past. An affirmation as to why we are so screwed up today, and the perfect way to blame our parents. Cartoons, commercials and movies that warped our fragile brains and scarred our minds forever. God help us, everyone! * Blogspot xmasflix.blogspot.com * Twitter twitter.com * feedburner: feeds.feedburner.com ABOUT THE CANCER STICK COMPANY… In the early 1970s, Lucky Strike’s television commercials featured the slogan “Lucky Strike separates the men from the boys…but not from the girls” set to music. When a filtered version was introduced in the mid-1960s, print and TV ads featured the singing slogan “Show me a filter cigarette that delivers the taste, and I’ll eat my hat!” Print ads showed smokers wearing hats from which a “bite” was supposedly taken, whereas TV commercials broke away from the smoker who issued that challenge, then came back to show the same smoker wearing a hat with a “bite” out of it. The Lucky Strike logo was created by famous industrial designer Raymond Loewy, who also created the logos for Exxon, Shell, AT&T and Coca Cola. The logo later became a prominent fixture in Pop-era artist Ray Johnson’s collages. The font used on the Lucky Strike logo is a modified form of Futura Condensed Bold. Lucky Strike was the sponsor of Jack Benny’s radio and television programs in the 1940s and 1950s on CBS. Among its popular advertising slogans on the show, as read by announcer Don Wilson, were “LSMFT: Lucky Strike means fine tobacco!” and “Be happy, go lucky, be happy, smoke Lucky Strike!” Lucky Strike was also the major sponsor of the BAR Honda team (partly owned by British American Tobacco, the current owners of the brand) as well as Honda Racing F1 during their maiden year in Formula One before BAR decided to pull out of F1 altogether in the face of increasing anti-tobacco advertising legislation. A Lucky Strike box can be seen in the opening credits of the Cowboy Bebop movie. The cigarette brand is referenced in many modern games, anime, songs, books and film. In the MSX2 version of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, a fictionalized version of the brand called Lucky Striker (ラッキー・ストライカー?)is said to be Solid Snake’s favorite. Lucky Strike is patronized in the anime Cowboy Bebop, where character Faye Valentine is often seen with one in her mouth. In Eureka Seven, Stoner is seen smoking a pack similar to Lucky Strike in episode 14. The logo also makes prominent background appearances in that show. In the Tom Waits song “Kentucky Avenue”, the first-person speaker references his or her “half pack of Lucky Strikes”. Lucky Strikes were the cigarette of choice of Rep. Detective Steele in the Blade Runner video game. In the manga GTO, Professor Onizuka is seen smoking Lucky Strikes. Lucky Strikes can be seen sitting on a piano in a couple scenes in Ralph Bakshi’s 1981 animated film American Pop. Lucky Strikes are mentioned by the Ataris in the song “All You Can Ever Learn is What you Already Know” off the record So Long, Astoria – “Trailer parks, neon signs, and an empty box of Lucky Strikes: all used up from the dashboard of America.” In the 1983 hit “Keeping the Faith” by Billy Joel, the song’s lyrics refer to this cigarette brand: “… took a fresh pack of Luckys, and a mint called Sen-Sen … .” The fictional character Mike Hammer, as written by Mickey Spillane, smoked Lucky Strike through all of the Hammer novels. Lucky Strike cigarettes were also featured in the Stephen King movie Misery where Paul Sheldon (as played by James Caan) would smoke one cigarette after writing a novel. They are widely smoked in the 2002 miniseries Band of Brothers and are mentioned in George Orwell’s account of the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia. In the movie The Ninth Gate, Johnny Depp’s character is seen smoking Lucky Strikes as well as carrying around the iconic pack. The Lucky Strike logo was created by famous industrial designer Raymond Loewy, who also created the logos for Exxon, Shell, AT&T and Coca Cola. The logo later became a prominent fixture in Pop-era artist Ray Johnson’s collages. The font used on the Lucky Strike logo is a modified form of Futura Condensed Bold. ► xmasflix.com (public domain. copyright free)
