Actually, I totally believe that the barcode was supposed to be a Marlboro ad. I just think that it's fully ridiculous for it to be "illegal".

Ironically, this whole legal spat over the barcode has been great advertising for Marlboro, and now that white rectangle on the car is just as much a reminder of the cigarette brand as the actual logo itself.
