<Phillip-Morris has been using them to promote its ideas on "commercial free
<speech."
What is meant by this, I presume, is that Phillip-Morris is attempting to
legitimize its legal and public promotion of a toxic substance. I think this
still qualifies as "advertising disguised as"...whatever. (read "propaganda
by
any other name is still...")
