My current Rant

Post by callmeslick »

OK, I've watched the early weeks of football season, and thus, a LOT of beer advertising. Two sets of ads have me bugged, and here's my rant:

The Bud Light commercials--WTF is up with a series suggesting that it is un-manly for some guy in the group NOT to bring/consume Bud Light, risking his 'man-card'? Seriously, folks, when has it not been an automatic,
permanent revokation of one's man-card to consume ANY Light Beer? Really, the stuff is all watery piss, and unless you have the Body Mass Index of a walrus or a sumo wrestler there is NO excuse for a real man to consume a Light Beer.

Speaking of Light Beers, the topper might be the Coors Light commercial, you know, the one with the 'Bar Exam'. Let's examine this one. First, the guy gets a call from a very attractive young woman, interested in spending the evening. He tells her, 'Sorry, I'm studying for the Bar Exam'. Said exam consists of this nitwit trying to figure out what the temperature-coded bars on the beer bottle mean. Then, to show his true lack of interest in the opposite sex, the ad shows him walking through the bar, where two women inquire, "are you a lawyer?". Here, given the opportunity to do as any red-blooded male would do, and lie like a rug in order to get laid, he laughs and says No. Really? Does anyone wish to emulate this putz? Not to even get into the fact that the beer in question sells itself on it's ability to get cold. Isn't that the refrigerator's job?

Rant off, feel free to discuss. I am off to Virginia for several days in hope of landing an enormous Red Drum, or at least some bluefish and sharks. :D

I've got some bad news for you Slick.
All American beer is watery piss. Light or not.
Up here, the slang term for American beer is "Kool-Aid".

I'll put Yeungling lager up with any mass market Canadian any day. And trust me, having lived in New Hampshire, I consumed every mass market Canadian there is/was. I like several of them. As for ALL American beers, you do realize we now produce a shitload of craft beers that will stand up to anybodys.

I've been drinking a lot of ales made by the Flying Dog brewery lately. Far from watery...

edit, much later: You gave me inspiration to get some FD beers: Doggy Style classic pale ale, Snake Dog IPA, Raging Bitch IPA and Simcoe.
Enjoying a Snake Dog at the moment, the Raging Bitches are almost cold.
"How about no, you Crazy Dutch Bastard?"
