Judge orders Big Tobacco to publicly admit lying

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

This is fucking amazing: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/27/tobacco-deception-judge-ruling_n_2199973.html

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered tobacco companies to publish corrective statements that say they lied about the dangers of smoking and that disclose smoking's health effects, including the death on average of 1,200 people a day.

U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler previously had said she wanted the industry to pay for corrective statements in various types of advertisements. But Tuesday's ruling is the first time she's laid out what the statements will say.

Each corrective ad is to be prefaced by a statement that a federal court has concluded that the defendant tobacco companies "deliberately deceived the American public about the health effects of smoking." Among the required statements are that smoking kills more people than murder, AIDS, suicide, drugs, car crashes and alcohol combined, and that "secondhand smoke kills over 3,000 Americans a year."

This actually gives me hope.

Yeah, it's the kind of thing I only ever expect to see in those Socialist countries that give a fuck about their populace.

Coming soon:

Judge dies of unexpected heart attack

Judge involved in scandal; denies everything

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

Yep. Horrible Truth^(TM) will prevail.

[Cain]

Or, more likely, Judge orders Big Tobacco to stop lying about lying and Judge orders Big Tobacco to stop lying about lying about lying and Legal System Implodes due to dangerous levels of Meta.
