Ardi’s mother says that her son’s habit costs the family around $5.50 a day and he only smokes one brand. Ardi’s mother cried as she said, “He’s totally addicted. If he doesn’t get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick.”

The government has agreed to give Ardi’s family a new car if he quits. But Ardi’s father, who is about to be named Person of the Century by the tobacco companies, doesn’t know what the big deal is, “He looks pretty healthy to me. I don’t see the problem.”

Wow….. I don’t even have the words…..

In case you missed it, here’s an up close and personal shot of Miranda Lambert’s engagement ring.

Blake Shelton’s the man! Can you say BLING-BLIIIIING?!
