I'm pleased, if only to hear them non-smokers moaning.

Oh, don't worry. They will. I just hope that they don't remember of banning motorsport on the basis that since it has ties with Tobacco for decades people will now feel inclined to smoke just by seeing cars going by.

[Mister Fungus]

How this makes sense for them, I do not know. Oh well...

If I had no idea about F1, I would be unable to tell that Marlboro sponsors Ferrari. But what I don't understand is that while they cannot display any sort of Marlboro imagery on the cars they are still allowed to be called "Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro". This a mad world indeed...

More than mad, just insane.

Isn't Phillip Morris just pissing it's money away?

Sounds like it, and it sounds like no laws have benn broken either

[MaxZero]

I looked into this, the sponsorship is mostly about including Ferarri on advertising material where ciggy ads aren't banned, as opposed to running the logo on the cars

No, I think Madness is definitely the word for it.

[dinizintheoven]

It's a Madhouse...

You lot started it with the Youtube links.

House of Fun... The fourth-best Madness song on my list.

And yes, I do know the story behind it.

1. So what are the first three?
2. I didn't actually realise there was a story behind it. What is it?

Well, errr... It's about buying... errr... Prophylactics.

Or, just crazy.

Goodyear tyres?

Our House, The Sun And The Rain, Michael Caine.
2. Jordan192 got it spot on.

Our House and Michael Caine are good. Although I was expecting Driving In My Car to be there too... (one of my equal favourite Madness tracks.)

[Klon]

No love for NW5 in here?

Well it's really hard to rate any of their songs, because they all are superb! Driving In My Car will always be special for me because it was my third Madness song after Our House and House of Fun, but if I had to rate, then Waiting For The Ghost Train and Uncle Sam go ahead of it.

I don't get what's wrong with tobacco advertising, Force India have Whyte and Mackay scotch, and surely drinking and driving is worse than smoking and driving.

Plus, Becks wasnt allowed on the Jag cars at France, Britain and Germany I think, Whyte and Mackay is though.

Me neither. I hate people who think have the power to limit habits that ultimately only perjudicate their users. Either remove all tobacco advertisement restrictions or classify it as an illegal and highly nocive drug for good and ban it.

The ironic thing about my rant was that I'm a non smoker and a keen drinker.

[f1-gast]

i don't get this.

Everyone is yelling those smokers get them banned, see NewYork !
But every country earns millions if not billions of Tax on it.

And smoking is even healthy !, remember the Marlboro Cowboys ?
