I actually think that Camel is part of the axis of evil because of their habit of such obvious marketing to young people and females.

Camel (Phillip Morris I think?) is EVIL!
Wasn't Joe Camel banned along with all cartoon character cigarette ads?
I know those flavored cigarettes were banned by the FDA.
What will they think of next? Free Justin Beiber downloads in every pack? Disney tie-ins???
