I’ve received a few emails about the link ad to the right of the screen. The one about cigarettes. One person reminded me that my mother died of lung cancer when I was still a child - good thing this busybody reminded me, because I had forgotten!

Look, I’m not Warren Kinsella, despite my affection for drinking, bad music, fucking around and pissing off my employers. Ok, maybe I am Warren Kinsella. But I’m not going to nanny you to death over your choices, and I don’t expect you to nanny me over my advertising.

The thing is, the guy who put the ad there paid me for it. He paid me in cash, not in cigarettes. That link on the side of my blog isn’t going to persuade me to smoke, and it likely isn’t going to persuade you either. But if you already smoke - and it’s frankly none of my fucking business if you do - you might be interested in the site he’s pimping.

There’s also an ad there for some kind of dick pills. I’m not terribly likely to take those, either (might be more suited to Warren, actually), but the ad is there in case someone is interested.

I don’t care if people smoke. I only care about me. And I don’t smoke. So please shut up.

Thanks!
