Nice one. It's odd; I got emails about the Amazon Merch program being reactivated but when I uploaded a new design and picked the products the "Submit" button remains inactive/greyed-out. It let me save them though. It looks like it's waiting for an authorization checkbox, but there is no checkbox on the page.
They flopped the order of the Title/Brand entries, which fouls me up... you can only have like 35 characters in the brand. So maybe it's grayed out because of that? Or you left one of those blank? I dunno.
I figured it out: it's certain products and international settings. I simplified one submission to just a few shirts - US only - and it worked. There's not really any explicit notification of that though.

Yes, that is one of the more bizarre cigarette ads I've seen; almost as if it was done as a one-off or a joke. In that era, even when they didn't use the "cowboy" figure, there was usually some sort of figure that they expected male consumers to aspire to be like: race car drivers, fishermen, scuba divers, guys at a baseball game, etc...but a clown?! It's not even a famous clown, but he does look happy, doesn't he? Maybe there was a good review in Variety for his show.
Seems like they would have met halfway and had it be a rodeo clown.
I would frickin' LOVE to sit in on that presentation.
