Kind of fascinated by the recent buzz surrounding this Charlie Sheen cigarette commercial from the 90s. The ad itself is a striking juxtaposition to the visible soullessness of modern commercials, but the version being circulated elsewhere features house music that was released in 2025, leading me to wonder how genuine this all is.

Here's the only original I could find, it differs a bit from the more popular edit and also mentions that other variants may be lost media

@rootcompute smoking is so fucking cool
@f0rrest It really is. I have always hated the taste of cigarettes, so I guess my coolness factor is permanently capped by this
@rootcompute yeah, that's a debuff for sure, although you can make it up by investing in other dumb behaviors.
