It really was bad enough when one beer company decided to promote its product with images of female flight attendants in uniforms so tight that it would have been impossible for them to hand you a Coke without popping a button; now another beer company is ‘drawing us in’ with an images of a train shaped like a giant penis. The scary part is, they have probably proven this actually sells more beer to young hetero men. And I have to look at them. Ugh. —No Beer For Me

All aboard the Penis Train!
1 first class ticket please!
Oh, oh! Here comes a tunnel….
Isn’t it the same company? Don’t you have a remote?
This reminds me of a funny story. I was at my BF’s family’s house a little while ago and pretty much the whole family was there. His Grandma was there, talking about her new digital cable. She said how she was appalled at some of the things on tv nowadays. She said she was flipping through the channels and saw this one program where a woman was having sex with a bunch of men at once. She went to describe all of this stuff that happened, which prompted someone to ask just how long she was watching it for. “About twenty minutes, then I turned it off”. Everyone in the room just died laughing. I could just picture here there, looking at the TV, arms folded, shaking her head, for twenty minutes.
Lesson of the story OP, you don’t have to watch it. Sex in commercials is not some new phenomenon and it isn’t going away no matter what “mothers” say/do. I don’t see how people can get offended by how other people look. They’re not holding up a mirror or portraying you, they’re them and you’re you!
..everyone knows drinking beer gets you more beeatches 🙂
I’ve never seen this commercial … but yeah do what snubiz says
Sex sells.
Nice story melectric.. 🙂
There’s no way in heck I would get on board the Hoors Bight express, although I do drink it.
Yeah i’m offended by the new bell commercial with the girls swooning at the guys abs. goes both ways you know.
Don’t forget Sabaru, “sexy comes standard”, dam – those guys have almost nothing on :O
i don’t know which one that is o.p.? i don’t watch that much t.v., and when i do, it is commercial free. that’s what i like about my system here. no fucking boring, inane shit, to sit thru, til program comes back on.
like the beeb? thats commercial free and the quality programming they put out makes me wish i had the iplayer but alas uk only (unless anyone can tell me how to get around that)

heh
who doesn’t like a solid steel shaft?
neville – Chilean miners?
WHAT! Sex is being used to market beer? When did that start happening?
I believe its being more steered toward the gay community, but don’t quote me on that.
HAve any of you actually started drinking a particular type of beer… just because you’ve seen it advertised on TV ?
I know I never have.
I remember last summer when the ‘lime’ beer craze was being pushed at the local watering hole. When i was asked if I wanted to buy a lime Bu….. I just laughed…reached over the bar to the little container of limes & lemons & dropped a lime in my glass of beer,tada lime beer & …it didn’t cost anymore !
They were actually charging more for the beer with lime in it.
WHat do you do when you want a beer without lime ?
But all that’s in your fridge, or cooler is lime beer.
Doesn’t it make more sense to just have some lime juice on hand & you can lime up a regular beer if that’s what you like ?
Plus you can add as much or as little lime to please whoever’s drinking it’s personal taste!
More importantly, what self respecting Canadian drinks American beer? As they say, American beer is like making love in a canoe – fucking close to water!
LOL Snubiz… never heard that one!
I have to say I’d rather sip my brew thinking of the blonde bimbo than sip my Tim’s thinking of the half-man……

I drink Bud made in Canada…And I prefer it to AK’s heavy and gut rotting brew.
