RUDE TEENS BOO OUR KILLER COMPANY

On April 23, 2003, Licensed to Kill, Inc was invited to represent the
tobacco industry's views at an anti-tobacco teen rally in front of
Virginia's State Capitol in Richmond.  As we are a corporation with
truly nothing to hide, we accepted the invitation and looked forward to
the opportunity to introduce teens to our hip, chocolate-flavored
cigarette brand CHAIN (Slogan: Smoke CHAIN and become a CHAIN smoker!).

Unfortunately, no sooner had our Senior VP of Corporate Communications
begun to speak, she was drowned out by boos and jeers. The teens shouted
things like "L2K L2K Go Go Go Away" and were completely and utterly
rude.  They even laid a coffin labeled "4.9 million" at our Senior VP's
feet, to represent the 4.9 million people our company intends to kill
through the manufacture and marketing of our tobacco products -- as if
it was a big secret or something!

What's wrong with killing 4.9 million people in the name of profit?
That's the question our company asks.  Other tobacco companies kill that
many people -- why shouldn't we get a piece of the pie?

Anyway, those whacko teens have put up a summary of the rally. The
description of our speech is fairly accurate.  We invite you to check it
out and judge for yourself.
