Showtime's Spliffelicious Scented Ad for "Weeds" TV Series

As part of a campaign to promote the second season of the television series "Weeds," Showtime's advertising agency has come up with a smart magazine ad with scented strips that smell like the wacky tobacky. It's a fitting use of the scented strip for a show that deals (no pun intended) explicitly and humorously with the sale and use of weed in an affluent, picture-perfect SoCal suburb. Usually, the scented strip technology is the sole province of perfume and cologne ads in Vogue or GQ. The ads appear in Rolling Stone magazine, which itself is an apt placement for such an ad. Brilliant idea.
