	Smoking Joe Camel
		A camel isn't necessarily the most handsome of beasts, but Joe was hip, he looked suave in his tuxedo, and he always seemed to be doing the most exciting things.
		Joe thought he could help America and ran for political office in 1992 using the campaign slogan "not just another pretty face." This popular spokescamel for a major US corporation received a number of write-in votes for president, but Bill Clinton won.
		Although Joe wasn't an official Hard Pack member, he was instrumental in getting the group to record their "Empty Lighter Blues." Joe flew jets, raced fast cars, partied with Hollywood starlets, printed his own funny money that really wasn't a joke, enjoyed a hot tub, and motorcycled across America in search of a good time.

	FTC: R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company
		The agency is seeking an order that would bar Reynolds from using the Joe Camel campaign to advertise to kids and would require the company to conduct a public education campaign discouraging young people from smoking.
		Beginning in 1987, ads and promotions for Reynolds Camel brand cigarettes had as their central theme a cartoon camel sometimes referred to as "Old Joe," "Smooth Character" or "Joe Camel."

		In fact, according to the complaint, the Joe Camel campaign was successful in appealing to many children and adolescents under the age of 18 and induced many of these underage consumers to smoke Camel cigarettes or increased the risk that they would do so.

	Shooting Pool With Joe Camel - By Charles Paul Freund - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Camel, himself a habitual user of nicotine, has been accused of being way too cool, in much the way that Joseph K. was once accused by the authorities of being way too guilty.
		Camel is never seen doing any productive work of any kind, is never portrayed wearing bourgeois clothing of even the Casual Friday variety (he usually wears a leather jacket), and is never seen in the company of middle-class camels who have to work for a living.
		Joe Camel's character probably doesn't appeal to "children," but it may well appeal to adolescents by exploiting their sexual and social insecurities.
