I was poking around Google Video the other day and came across
an advertisement for Winston Cigarettes featuring the Flintstones. Yes, you get to see Fred, Barney, and Wilma all
lighting up and enjoying that smooth, rich flavor. Now, the thing to keep in mind is that The Flintstones was
not a show made for kids. Like The Simpsons, it was created for adults and shown originally in primetime, so
an ad like this isn't as odd as it seems at first glance. All I can say is that between smoking tobacco and eating
Fruity Pebbles the Flintstones didn't exactly lead a very healthy lifestyle.Fred lights up
