KKK

I think the thing about KKK is true, because there are 3 things on the package that gives proof to it: one is that the 3 red symbols form 3 K's; another is that withinside the package is a year number which has to do with KKK. Third, the picture/coat of arms, whatever it is with the little child, forms a hood between his legs. Shandris^the ^azylean 14:06, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I think you should take a look at this: Snopes. --Dragnilar

Update: I added that link to the bottom of the Marlboro article. Any disagreement? --Dragnilar

I think no, hehe, you crackled that idea by your link, thanks so very much! Shandris^the ^azylean 18:39, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Nice link, draginlar! But I wonder if the wording of it should be changed? It refers to a snopes article which "discusses Marlboro's involvement with the KKK," a description which seems to presuppose that such there IS such involvement. Since the link actually goes to a site that argues against the existence of such involvement, should it instead be described as an article which "discusses Marlboro's purported involvement with the KKK" or "discusses rumoursof an involvement between Marlboro and the KKK," or something like that?

The statrement about a price of a pack is relative to vendor and region and should not be included. they're like 7 in NJ and like 3:15 in SC

If you really think Marlboro Reds are a KKK conspiracy you really do have your head up your rear end. Especially when they're made under authority of Switzerland. --Hayden5650 04:42, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the KKK myth, it appears Philip K Dick was telling it in the early 70`s, he was bananas enough to have created it but I doubt it, he probably got it from some other source in the sixties counterculture. PKD telling it during the Nixon era is mentioned in Carrère´s biography (Je suis vivant et vous êtes morts).
