   no thanks, too many negative connotations with that image. seems like there’s an idea.. but, not quite there yet.

   I disagre. I think the idea is well put and the pun is greatly done though I think the ad is a fake (I seriously doubt the american PC media would allow such ad).

   the ad would never fly, and I’m not sure that you want to be associating your lollipops with the taste of cigarettes, but it still made me smile.

   I like it. It tells me, as an millitant non-smoker, that you don’t have to smoke a cig to be cool. Thats a message, my kids should see. And I like the idea of spoofing Marlboro.
   I think it’s a shame that this ad should be a fake. I’d love to see those in mags and on billboards…

   Whos Chupa’s target market? Would they go buy Chupa when they see some ol cowboy on the ad? Don’t think so. And the tagline is weak. Not real ad, if its real the ceative should be punished. [spankinbuttock mode son]

   i think it’s funny for creatives, but there’s no way this would get past the horsing around side of a creative meeting. the main reason being, everyone who is 25 - 100 years old remembers those marlboro ads. this would be like cuppa chps advertising for marlboro. i see cigarettes before i see suckers.

   Its probably spec, but I reckon its good. Not brilliant, but good. I like the idea of appropriating and subverting advertising for products that have negative connotations.

    I find it good (not great) in terms of design and cleverness, but A+ for the coverage (even negative) it generates. Efficient, it is.

    My first thought was, “where’s the joke” and I immediately looked at the SGW for some spoof copy. Not there.

    Take away the warning spot to avoid temptation for an overly-done joke. Then I’d give it a B-
