Do you love that Coors
Posted by: Liz | From: April 21, 2004
Do you love that Coors spent all that time an effort on developing and promoting their low-carb beer, only to follow up with ads that promote the fact that their regular light beer is low in carbs. Or what about Anheuser-Busch's blatant hypocrisy with their big in-your-face Bud ads claiming "All light beers are low in carbs" while they simultaneously promote Michelob Ultra.You know what? If you're counting stupid carbs in your stupid beer you need to take a moment and re-evalute a few things.
While I'm beer commercial hating, I have a few words for the people in charge of the Bud ads for the subways in NY (maybe they're elsewhere?). For all you who aren't staring at these ads everyday, they feature a beer bottle with a splash of something golden bouncing off the lid so that the splash forms a crown (king of beers and all that jazz). Here are some questions I would ask those ad people:
1. What is that golden liquid bouncing off the lid of the beer? Because it looks like pee.
2. Oh, it's beer?
3. Why is the beer outside the sealed bottle?
4. Is it perhaps from a source other than the featured bottle?
5. What could this other source be?
5a. Someone else's beer?
5b. Pee?
As appetizing as it is to think of mysterious liquids bouncing off the lid of a beer you are offering me, I think I'll go with Dunkin Donuts Caramel Swirl Latte. They seem to have deftly kept bodily fluids away from their ads.
More gross liquids
This morning, I went to fill a water bottle up with milk to bring in to work. The milk smelled funny, but it was just bought on Sunday and the expiration wasn't until next week sometime, so I called in a second opinion. J took one whiff and told me to dump it. I was saying how I couldn't understand how it could go bad so quickly, when I heard a small sound: puft...puft...puft. Turning, we saw that the plastic lid that was sitting loosely on top of the milk carton was actually being lifted up! "Yeah, it's off-gassing, Liz." Best reason ever for dumping bad milk.
Query of the Day, or excerpt from screenplay dropped off by man in building saying it was accidentally delivered to him. Does our agency handle screenplays? No. Do people dropping things off in person to the wrong office do very good research? No.
Ms. Davis: I thought you were dead! Please let me go.
Head-Chuck: I couldn't go without thanking you for letting those kids get away for what they did to me.
