These are what are teaching the next generation......my kids are going to be thought by these shitheads??????

Sorry, Coraline, you're an obvious exception to this and maybe I just got a bad bunch...

its really scary though, some of them really are simpering vacuous airheads whose idea of going to a gig would be rod stewart in lansdowne road or texas if they are being wild and they read nothing but marian keyes and cathy kelly.....

shudder

dan i'll teach your kids

I got an ad banned once, complained about it to the advertising standards authority and hey presto it disappeared. Gave me a great feeling of satisfaction

... actually it'd probably be pretty easy to get the Smirnoff Ice ads banned too - anything giving the impression that booze makes it more likely you'll get laid, or even just associating booze with sex, is on dodgy ground

read the complaints bulletins

they're deadly

BUT

that Guinness ad with the volcano and the lava and the man and the bare feet got pulled cos someone complained.

Its funny this came up, because I was going to start a thread about peopes opinions on banning drink ads on tv after a few of us were talking about it in the canteen one day.

Personally I'd be in favour of it. It'd be no loss to be honest. I think drink advertising tends to promote a culture, usually a yob culture, and to drink their product is promoted as being a part of that culture. Like smirnoff ice, wkd, bacardi, etc. All advertised by showing people behaving like assholes. And when you see people coming out of these superpubs, the advertising seems to be working.

ah now, hang on just a wee minute... sex is strongly connected with booze for those of us who ain't married like... and the ads is funny... come on, everyone knows boys is stupid and they can't cook or do washing and would fuck anything with a pulse, the ads are accurate in today's muddled up world. like, if you want ads like this to stop appearing, go on the town of a friday or saturday night with a megaphone and scream "boys, nay men, listen up ... don't believe the hype ... you can cook and if you can't, you can learn! give up your pursuit of easy sex and her cooking you breakfast in the morning... it will only lead to emptyness and the crying in the beer..." then lads will stop acting like they do and it won't make sense for ad agencies to produce those kind of ads. but that'd mean i'd have to go back to shouting at the telly constantly when the ads is on instead of getting the odd chuckle...

 

[Dan]

No man, thats not what I mean at all.... guys are always going to be like you say and I don't find the ads offensive either. Its real hard to put what I'm trying to say into words. Theirs a type of drinking culture thats developed in the last few years that wasn't there and I think its developed throught the advertising campaigns of some of these drinks companies(plus loads of other things). I know wanting to ban drink ads comes across all granny-like, don't get me wrong, theres people here well know I'm way to fond of drink, but not in the go-out and drink my smirnoff ice, stagger out of the superpub, beat the shit out of someone on the way home and be proud to have been a wanker way.

Plus I don't find these ads funny....there shite

A little known fact....

Quakers own Smirnoff.... they're promoting bigamy... or Mormon Hold-dom

 

[old]

Have you heard that radio ad where the bloke is thinking his girly 'doesn't understand his alcohol monogamy. She has no morals and thinks I'd do the dirt on my Guinness'.
Then he says "maybe *we* shouldn't have a Christmas party after all."
I'm sure that ties in with this nonsense in some stupid way.

Let's get that banned cos it annoys me.
Guinness are cunts.
Manipulative fish guts brewing bastards.

but where did it start?

Did the ads tell the boys to be wankers, or did the ad agencies look around see wankers everywhere and decide to put them in their ads?

[billygannon]

Bring back ads which had songs with them....

"Drive a Nissan... [hushed]nissan[/hushed]... it's good for you... it's good for you and you and youou... NISSAN!"

"A Mars a day makes you work, rest and play" (Basis of a great Undertones song)...

"If you're not gay, you'd join the IRA
It's loads of fun,
Because you get to use a gun"

 

[krystal]

never mind buh, all that butter will soon clog his arteries and he'll die of a massive coronary, and have the fucking Waterboys played at his funeral
