ok. um, what the heck?!
I feel so bad for all these kids with Grade A LAME parents that are like, "I'll quit smoking if you can find a zillion people that think I should." Really, what is that? Isn't it enough that your KID wants you to quit? You'll quit for 9,999 random facebook "friends", but not for your own kid? How is that even normal?

Dear Dad/Mom of facebook kids,

Congratulations! Looks like it's time for you to bag the ciggies.
The # of fans may not show it yet, but you've definitely reached your quota because...

EVERYONE wants you to quit.
Smoking. is. gross.

And you probably stink (at least a little bit).
Because smoking is totally gross.

Oh, um...and how about also because it KILLS people.
Yes it does.

the end.

PS- and L'Eunice's Mom...4,000,000? Honestly, why bother? The cigarettes will kill you long before your kid finds that many people that want to keep you alive.
