Ineffectual Wowsers
. . . The next step, if the Government follows Australia's lead, is to allow
cigarettes to be sold only in identical packets - probably a dirty
brown, featuring pictorial health warnings even more gruesome that those
they already carry. The manufacturer's brand would be permitted only in
small type somewhere.
When this rule came into force across the Tasman, a French manufacturer
put a line on sale in Europe featuring a kangaroo on the packet and the
legend: "Popular in Australia." So much for fun.

Dear Reader: Although Google professes to have a policy of free speech, there are now disturbing examples of Google peremptorily shutting down blogs on the Blogger platform espousing views which (presumably) Google wants to censor. Therefore ContraCelsum has set up a mirror blog via WordPress (http://contracelsum.com/). We update the latter weekly. If this site should suddenly go dark, you will find ContraCelsum alive and well at the above address. You may want to bookmark it now (just in case).
