They Do The Same Thing [with Cigarette]

Now The Cigarette Companies Claim That They Don't Do That [ Pay To Have Their Product Advertised In Movies ] Anymore, Although It Certainly Makes You Wonder A Bit When An Independent Production Like "in The Bedroom", You Know, Seems To Focus Constantly On Marlboros And Almost It Turns Into A Marlboro Ad, Whether There Was Any Money Exchanged.
