By utilizing the very aspects that have made smoking cool, truth has actually made smoking uncool. They knew the target audience they had to reach, and they understood what ideals made smoking cool in the first place. This is great marketing at work.

This example of cool reminds me of the definition provided earlier. Not that it is narcissistic in anyway, but is further detached from other news sources and strays from normalcy. What makes The Onion cool is its unique approaching to presenting otherwise boring news.

I have never really considered this point of view when looking at something cool, but now that it has been brought to my attention, I completely understand the logic. The worst thing I can do is waste my time. However, if I spend time observing or doing something cool, I enjoy the experience and am glad I utilized my time wisely. This is what makes that action "cool."

The process being described as cool is hyper reading. Utilizing new aspects of technology and the multimodality of texts is cool, as this definition of cool is far different from the narcissistic viewpoint on the last page.

I find it very ironic that three main traits listed as "cool" are all negative personality traits found in people today. I guess this is what makes smoking "cool." If cigarettes are considered cool, and children today are less persuaded to smoke than ever; are children today less narcissistic, detached and hedonistic than ever?
