OK, this is just getting silly.<\/p>\n

Dick Durbin, D-IL, Richard Blumenthal, D-CT, Sherrod Brown, D-OH, and Edward J. Markey, D-MA, all slammed the Golden Globes for “glamorizing”<\/a> e-cigarettes during last weekend’s show. because Julia Louis-Dreyfus was shown smoking an e-cig.<\/p>\n

According to this article:<\/p>\n

Louis-Dreyfus \u2014 nominated at the ceremony for her roles in the film “Enough Said” and the television series “Veep” \u2014 was seen drawing from an “e-cigarette” and blowing smoke out of her mouth as part of a gag skewering haughty Hollywood behavior.<\/p>\n

“She has really changed,” co-host Amy Poehler deadpanned from the stage, as Louis-Dreyfus, wearing cat-eye sunglasses, caricatured a snooty star.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The letter from the Senators to the Golden Globes reads:<\/p>\n

“In light of studies showing that exposure to on-screen smoking is a major contributor to smoking initiation among youth, we are troubled that these images glamorize smoking and serve as celebrity endorsements that could encourage young fans to begin smoking traditional cigarettes or e-cigarettes.”<\/p>\n

I hate to come off like I’m promoting e-cigs (I’m really, really NOT — seriously) , but this whole skit struck me as being fairly benign. Don’t you think U.S. Senators have some bigger issues to deal with?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
