When advertising goes right

I try as hard as I can to tune out advertising most of the time, but when it's shoved into your face 24/7 (especially more so in recent years, if you work on the internet, like me), it's hard to dodge it. Chris presented me with this most awesome bit of advertising this morning. How can you hate such an ad?

Marlboro ads target mommies

Following up yesterday's awesome WWII posters, today I stumbled across old tyme cigarette ads for moms. Man, how hilarious is that? Over-smoked? What in hell does that even mean? It cracks me up.
