An Apology
Thursday, August 7, 2003 by GREYW0LF | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Last night I posted a cursorxp theme that I thought would be well recieved but wasn't. I apologize to everyone for the off-color theme of smoking.

Thanks for the encouragement!
And it is your "business", its everyone's business once it goes online (hence my comments).
But here's a question, how do I view the profile of others?

hmmm...
Snowman looked at the "comments" and went:
sheeeeesh... lighten up fellas!!
I see nothing wrong in those cursors. Its images of ciggies - so what?!
It aint like people starts smoking just because they saw a freaking mousecursor shaped like a ciggie!
I really dont understand all the hype just about smoking. Sure, its not good for your health - but neither are cars and guns!
But do they have big fat "warning this product could be damaging to you health" labels on them?!

I wonder if a car has a label that says "warning this product could be damaging to your health" 
Not sure if guns either. I like guns. Guns are fun.
I don't use cigs but I don't see anything wrong with it. I think if parent's saw that on their child's screen that they will ask twice if they are smoking. It might help in another sense. Never know.

If you fall asleep while computing do they smolder until the screen catches on fire?

Hey I don't smoke cuz I can't stand the smell of it and I get enough of that bad stuff for my lungs just from the air I breath over here, but I see absolutely nothing wrong w/ these cursors I think they are a unique idea and you don't need to aplogize tht is rediculous is there a law against cigerettes? (I don't think so) just don't up any little joints or you may be in big big trouble... hehe

Thanks Guys
All of you are right, cursors imitate life, they don't promote activities. I'm not going to get addicted to nicotene b/c my cursor is a cig. Heck, I probably won't even get the cursor unless I was smoking. Which for the record I don't.
I think i'll make guns next, we'll see how that goes over . . .

hehe oh boy, I cannot believe ppl jumped on this guy for making cigerette cursors, these same ppl should be attacking the government who is making the biggest profit off of "selling" them and killing ppl
these cursors would only appeal to most ppl that already smoke they are not going to make ppl think OMG that is so cool, I must go light a cigerette now and start smoking!

Doreen is semi right. Some are misleading but if you watch the way that they talk and post you'll pick up on more. But that's probably too much work. Yea I know DA makes it easier if you've been over there.

ok, serious, could be wrong, but there are people who only makes bacardi/other alcoholic drinks, could blame them too for stuff about kids. Besides, non-smoking people don't like it, smoking people will appreciate it (right?) bett there are some people arround who have a problem with alcoholic stuff too.
(I have to admit I saw it comming online yesterday, and at first didn't tought it was ok, but hey, not my business right?)
