Here\\\'s a 4 color illustration of a smoking gun... literally. To the lower left is an ashtray w. bullets. Bullets kill, and Cigarettes kill... but don\\\'t tell that to the gun, which is only trying to do it\\\'s job and take advantage of it\\\'s daily smoke break. Just a 9-5er like the rest of us... hi-res at http://www.mattrenaud.com/smoke.jpg

What's with all the "smoking kills" shirts? I mean, sure, smoking kills. I don't like smoking. So why would I wear a T-shirt that had cigarettes on it?

Who would wear this?

The term "smoking gun" is a reference to an object or fact that serves as conclusive evidence or proof of a crime or similar act. Its name comes from the idea of finding a smoking (i.e. very recently fired) gun on the person of a suspect wanted for shooting someone, which in that situation would be nearly unshakable proof of having committed the crime. There's another way to look at it...

Fair enough. In that case, your shirt is better than the other smoking shirts, but I still wouldn't wear it. I think most people would interpret as an anti-smoking message, rather than a visual pun. : )

It's a very nice illustration, though.

Thanks. Here's a side thought: why won't people interpret it as an anti-gun message? I guess all that television is numbing us to the violence aspect. There's no subliminals here, that's a gun, those are bullets in the ashtray, but throw a cigarette in the barrel, and the GUN is the victim. If it was a smoking puppy, I can understand, but this is a chromed out copkilla puff'n butts. In my screwed up logic, they cancel each other out...

Ponder that...
