I guess we missed this campaign’s launch, but it’s worth revisiting. It’s Washington state’s artful yet revolting Ashtray Mouth anti-smoking work. It stars a bunch of creepy, horny little dolls who are constantly stalking each other, desperate to do a little passionate kissing. But wouldn’t you know it—one of them always ruins the vibe by sticking something disgusting in his or her mouth. A cockroach, a rat, a bird, a balled-up chunk of cat puke, whatever’s around. “Kissing a smoker is just as gross,” explains the tagline. On the Web site, you can even stuff the grody items in the dolls’ mouths yourself. You can also watch a pair of chilling TV spots. The work is from Sedgwick Rd in Seattle. Thanks (I guess) to Rubberize for the link.
