ryno Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I'm watching (well was) VH1's I Love the 70s Volume 2: 1973. They were talking about Deep Purple's song Smoke on the Water, and asking people what it was about. Someone asked if it was about being high, and then they goto a clip of someone smoking hookah When will mainstream media learn??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Never. The mainstream media is about as bright as a snail. I stopped hoping for change years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasHookah Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Yeah the misconception is a real big blow to us when someone asks what is a hookah first thing that comes into mind is a because of tv. Once things hit mainstream in the right manner it's golden. All we need is a rapper to mention, texashookah, in his lyrics. All I'm asking for is someone like Jay Z or Akon, hahaha.

Isn't that like asking for Snoopy Doggy Dog to endorse Hookah?Also to the OP It's sometimes worth penning an email to these idiots, if properly written it can sometimes make one person think?

Khronokai Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 This makes me wonder... How many people with no Hookah experience think it's for illegal drug use... And even worse, how many people with Hookahs think the same way (dun dun duuun)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 nothing will ever change in terms of hookahs and the public.also, that top gear clip is crap, its a carrera vs an r8? really? hardly fair, however when the r8 was tested against the 997 gt3, the gt3 destroyed it.

Bulldog_916 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 YUP Al Jazeera for the WIN! For me, modern culture is the reason for the decline of the tobacco pipe's image. Pretty cut and dried. The native Americans didnt have a problem with misconceptions. That problem didnt even arise until the 70s and the rise of the flower generation. More of the reason is American misconceptions about said substances and the prohibition thereof. Just my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
