Camel (cigarette)
In late 1987, RJR created "Joe Camel" as a brand mascot. In 1991, the American Medical Association published a report stating that 5- and 6-year olds could more easily recognize Joe Camel than Mickey Mouse, Fred Flintstone, Bugs Bunny or even Barbie. This led the association to ask RJR to terminate the Joe Camel campaign. RJR declined, but further appeals followed in 1993 and 1994. On July 10, 1997, the Joe Camel campaign was retired and replaced with a more adult campaign which appealed to the desires of its mid twenties target market. Camel paid millions of dollars to settle lawsuits accusing them of using Joe Camel to market smoking to children.
Joe Cox (cricketer)
Joe Cox was a fast-medium bowler and a tail-end batsman. Playing for Natal throughout, his first-class career spanned the years either side of World War I, 1911 to 1922, but it was his first season in 1910-11 that was his most successful. In his very first match, played at Durban against Orange Free State, he scored 51 batting at number 10, Natal’s second highest score of the innings and a total that Cox was never subsequently to surpass. In his second match, against Western Province, he took seven wickets in the second innings for 42 runs, and a few days later he took eight for 20 against Transvaal, seven of the opposition being bowled. In all six matches that season, he took 36 wickets for 402 runs (average 11.16) and helped Natal to their first domestic championship title.
