Desperate advertising

the muppets who walk around emblazened with NIKE and GAP and ELLESE, and all the other big name, indian child slave laboured fashion.

its funny because people don't realise that they are whoring their bodies to advertising - - hehehe

god bless advertising!

Nestle Rowntree marketing director Andrew Harrison, said: "We're not saying Yorkie is "not for girls" to be offensive but to let the British male know that we are for him alone...Women Yorkie eaters can switch to an Aero or Little Rolo if they like, Yorkie's feelings won't be hurt."

I'm confused. Also: Council bans 'sexist' chocolate bar campaign

Just saw an ad for Lipitor in which the central theme was "Are you kidding yourself" and it was apparently aimed at middle aged men who eat well and exercise, yet still have high blood pressure. The main guy in the ad (a slim silver haired man in his...late 40s? early 50s?) was like "I thought diet and exercise would take care of my high blood pressure...but I was wrong" and then the ad goes on to tell him how Lipitor can help.

This aired during a rerun of Oprah on late night tv. Um, this ad is targeted at men who think they are kidding themselves? No.

this toilet bowl cleaner looks like a big blue tampon

"We dare you to try this [haircolor product]!" -- Aveda

I just got a banner ad that said "Over 6.4 million people start their day with Honey Nut Cheerios/AMERICA'S FAVORITE Cereal...Shop Now"

And I thought, "man, that's fucking sad that so many people start the day with a big bowl of heavily sugared crap"

it is unfortunate, i agree
also nice bandwagon approach

Man do I want some honey nut cheerios right now though, they're so good.

AMERICA'S FAVORITE

when all you have is "america's favorite" i guess you have to use it

still can't believe a company tried to dare me to use its product

At least they didn't double dog dare you.

makes me a wee bit tense

wtf is going on with that hobgoblin's right hand?

the ale is literally the hobgoblin, liquefied & poured into a glass (out of shot)

if i'm a lagerboy then how did i ever wind up in a hobgoblin bar

i resent the notion that a lager drinker is a callow youth when it's asserted by a fucking D&D character

also this whole Hobgoblin campaign is open to being outflanked by, say, the Turps Marketing Board

It harks back to that 70's macho attitude that bitter is a Real Mans drink, well fuck that it makes me want order a lager and black and fuck all the bearded Camra shits.

"You're not a faggot are you?" still a great way to market beer in 2014.

even when it's being said by a fucking fairy tale figure

a fairy tale figure who seems to be grabbing his crotch and warning you about "tasting something"

think it's a female hobgoblin, not that i wanna analyse it too closely

you think? can't see it with those sideys

lol! I have this image in my mind that this hobgoblins appendage looks like a big shiny rosy red cortland apple.
