Street Art of the Day: Hot on the heels of their McDonald’s “re-branding campaign,” the Billboard Liberation Front announces a “partnership” with Philip Morris aimed at stressing the importance of choice.
The Billboard Liberation Front (BLF) is honored to announce a new marketing partnership with Philip Morris (PM) that finally brings together the rugged sense of American independence with your most important choice as a consumer: your death. The message of “My Life. My Death. My Choice.” informs and empowers the consumer to choose, as their god given right, how they want to die. Philip Morris brings this message to the consumer to remind them that some rights are inalienable in life as they are in death.
The new an improved billboard can be seen towering over Howard at Van Ness in San Francisco.

I mainly see the government stepping in when it’s smoking. Drinking and being an alcoholic is just as dangerous as smoking yet it’s not taxed to hell and you can do it pretty much anywhere.There are ads on tv making it look cool and glamorous and all that. I am not really a smoker, I smoke once in awhile. If they want to tax vices I think they should tax them all equally and not just tax the crap out of the smokers out there.
Mmm, alcohol is heavily taxed in many Canadian provinces (like Manitoba), because it’s sale is entirely government regulated (you can only purchase it from government-run liquor commissions).
Having said that, I do think that smoking is worse for general public health because you really can choose whether or not to drink (in most circumstances), whereas someone else’s choice to smoke (even moderately) always negatively affects the health of everyone around them.
Also, it reeks like hell.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4qctbA7p21qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)
