> Cops say they dressed as hipsters to buy dope
Hah. Like most cops could fit into skinny jeans.
Maybe Camel should try some cross marketing with the “East Williamsburg” heroin dealers caught in Google street view. Cops say they dressed as hipsters to buy dope. Id like to see that.
haha – those graphic disease warnings are hilarious. they just make me want to smoke more (and blow the smoke in a baby’s face)
I wonder what horribly graphic disease warning will be placed on the Williamsburg cigarettes? A fixed-gear iron-lung?
“s it true DH that there are already a lot of Camel Toes in BBurg?”
camel toes and camel lights, as far as the eye can see
“The marketing campaign promises its customers will earn “serious street cred†for trying the Williamsburg brand, and noted that Camel met with some “modern-day pioneers†with “lighthearted angst and rebellion†in the neighborhood to try the brand out.
Company spokesman David Howard said the marketing campaign was movitated by one thing: Helping hipsters to understand that Camel fits their way of life.
“It’s known as a hipster neighborhood,†Howard said. “We’ve found the temperament of what Williamsburg stands for, and its artistic approach to life, meshes with the Camel brand.â€
LAME, SO LAME IN SO MANY WAYS.
Is it true DH that there are already a lot of Camel Toes in BBurg?
LMAO @ the Williamsburg Camel article
There was a rabbi, an inmate and a hedge fund manager….
