Oh My Shit

There has been plans for NY state to jack up the price of cigarette by $1 more in 2011. WHAT THE BAGINA? ARE YOU INSANE NEW YORK?? The price is already $10-11 to begin with now, and you want to charge even more? Upon hearing this news, thousands of wallets in NY needed to be resuscitated by mouth-to-mouth smoke, as they all went into immediate withdrawal. Please, they can't take the abuse anymore.

I mean, if I did understood this article correctly, it implies that NY owes a $7.4 billion due to a thing called the fiscal gap. I don't necessarily understand what a "fiscal gap" is, but fuck, that's a shitload of money. So, they are going to tax all the smokers and hopefully that'll close down the gap by $1 billion less. GREAT...


To all smokers in NY, here are some solutions for YOU:

1. QUIT BITCHES!
2. Ok, that's too hard. So go to New Jersey and you can get it for as low as $4.50! JERSEY SHORE RULES! And while you're there, you can also get a muscley-tan-spiky hair guido. 2 FOR THE PRICE OF 1!
3. No? Get it in Duty Free at any of the airport.
4. Not traveling? Then ummm, suck it up and buy it at your local deli.
5. (ALL of these messages have not been approved by the surgeon general).
6. OH! Isn't there like illegal cigarette dealers? Or is that just things I see on the TV that's not actually real?

On a side note, they're also going to increase the price of sugary drinks by 1 cent per ounce.
