'''Al Bundy''': All right, number one - if it wasn't for beer, there would be at least three people, who probably wouldn't be married - Me, Jefferson, and probably Lisa Marie Presley. Number two - since men buy beer, advertisers have to cater to what we want. And - hold on to your corncob pipe - we like pretty women. Pretty women sell good products, ugly women sell... tennis rackets. Pretty women, cars; ugly women, minivans. Pretty women make us buy beer; ugly women make us '''drink''' beer.

In the 1920s, women didn’t smoke. So here’s this big population which was not buying cigarettes, so he paid young models to march down New York City’s Fifth Avenue holding cigarettes. His message to women was, 'You want to be cool like a model? You should smoke a cigarette.' How many millions of corpses did that create? I’d hate to calculate it.
