After our look at Murad cigarettes, here's another brand of the period. I wonder how well they would sell in today's geopolitical climate? And isn't there something sacrilegious about naming your product after another religion's sacred gods?

Your political correctness has run amok. The old Egyptian gods are dead. They have no more followers -- the Muslims made very sure of that.

The old Egyptian pantheon is nobody's deities. Just like the old Greek pantheon. It's therefore fair game to use them, just as Zeus and Venus are used in countless product names.

The artwork is just beautiful. I'd like a few of those to hang on the wall.

As for deities, I prefer the Great Old Ones, like Cthulhu.

Someone tell me why the Brits still call them fags ?
It's not something I'd want in my mouth.

P.S. They also say things like "I'll knock you up in the morning".
