2ndGen.Rocket 06-19-2007, 10:14 PM As long as I can remember, the central theme in alcohol commercials has to do with fat retards watching football, some dipshit fooling his hot girlfriend into thinking he is doing something else and not drinking, or girls getting excited about some queer drinking a fruity beer.
Now, I understand the fat retard/football connection. They are obviously reaching an actual existing market. But the loser drunk who is lying to his girlfriend? I don't get why they glorify this, or get why people watch it and think it is cool. I also don't get how people think they are going to get laid by drinking Smirnoff Ice.

I actually kinda identify with that one.
Queen 06-19-2007, 10:43 PM I'm pretty sure the ads are just a formality.. how much can you really do when your best customers are shitfaced and stupid
2ndGen.Rocket 06-19-2007, 10:46 PM Yeah I guess that is true. I think I am more bothered by the fact that there are still retards out there who actually think getting wasted and lying to their wife about it is something to aspire to.
2ndGen.Rocket 06-19-2007, 10:47 PM I actually kinda identify with that one.
I think you need a new girlfriend then there guy. I like going out and drinking too, but I've never found myself in the position where it was necessary to lie to someone about it.
Alex-7 06-19-2007, 10:54 PM Anyone half way paying attention to the world isn't usually swayed by Advertising. They're aiming at the they zombies can plant a seed in the head of and see increased sales.
I can't rember a single commercial that depicts a person I would ever really want to be.
2ndGen.Rocket 06-19-2007, 10:56 PM I wanted to be Bo Jackson. However the fact that I wasn't black kind of got in the way.

I haven't had a steady lady in a year or so. I do however remember dating a few here and there that didn't understand the need for a little personal time.
I'd imagine alot of guy's can relate to wanting to go out and have a beer but also not wanting a fight with the Mrs. There are alot of crazy bitches out there, but dating one isn't really a situation "the capitan" can help you out with I agree.
Alex-7 06-19-2007, 11:00 PM I wanted to be Bo Jackson. However the fact that I wasn't black kind of got in the way.
LOL, I'm shure I wanted to be like mike at some point too, but those adds were a long time ago.
the last thing I want to be these days is someone who feels the need for "fourth meal"

Unfortunately about half of America feels the need for fourth meal. I can't believe the American Heart Association isn't all over Taco Bell's ass for trying to convince the already fat fucks of this country that burritos before bed is a good idea.
Queen 06-19-2007, 11:06 PM I wanted to be Mr. Change Your Pants While Driving from the Allstate commercial.. he's my hero.

:rofl:
SpartanTS 06-19-2007, 11:11 PM Now, I understand the fat retard/football connection. They are obviously reaching an actual existing market.
...that market happens to be the largest market of beer drinkers. I seriously doubt that'll change anytime soon.

"the dedicated investor"
2ndGen.Rocket 06-19-2007, 11:14 PM Yeah I wouldn't expect it to. I know plenty of fat retards who for some reason find enjoyment in putting on an Eagles jersey, going to a sports bar, eating chili cheese fries, drinking Miller Lite, and arguing with other fat retards about whose team is better.
It's sort of like an anime convention, but with a tad more homosexuality.
Terrh 06-21-2007, 08:42 AM I eat 4th meal regularly.
if there was a taco bell nearby, it probably would sometimes be from them, I like taco bell :P. When I lived in the city I ate there all the time.
As it is, now that I work alot, I eat like a horse. It seems like I'm always hungry. The 2-3 PB&J sandwiches that I used to pack for work, never make it outta the car, they're gone before I even get there. And that's after I have breakfast. Maybe I could be eating "better" but for the most part I eat pretty healthy, just lots of it.
btw, I'm 6'0", and weigh 130. Pretty far from a fatass.
2ndGen.Rocket 06-21-2007, 11:17 AM You were blessed with a high metabolism, congratulations. And at 6', 130, you sound pretty malnourished to me. Might want to hit the gym.
2ndGen.Rocket 06-21-2007, 11:30 AM Yeah, if I took a deep breath I could probably blow you over.
DarkAngelKamui 06-21-2007, 12:55 PM I also don't get how people think they are going to get laid by drinking Smirnoff Ice.
Hey, Smirnoff Ice isn't all that bad y'know... :(
I drink plenty of em, and I don't have any real problem getting laid... lol
2ndGen.Rocket 06-21-2007, 01:53 PM Homo.
I'm only half joking.
2ndGen.Rocket 06-21-2007, 01:54 PM Actually, black guys like weird drinks I have found. I know very few that just drink beer.
DarkAngelKamui 06-21-2007, 02:01 PM Actually, black guys like weird drinks I have found. I know very few that just drink beer.
Yeah, that is pretty true. Normally I can't stand beer (outside of a Heineken or two), I just stick with straight liquor. But there's something about Smirnoff Ices that allows me to down tons of em in a blink of an eye. lol
Don't get me wrong, I don't drink them as a primary. They're moreso a filler inbetween shots. :bigthumb:

uhhh so you're saying that a anime convention is less homosexual??? really???
DarkAngelKamui 06-21-2007, 02:59 PM uhhh so you're saying that a anime convention is less homosexual??? really???
OBJECTION!!

It's probably because they taste like Sprite
2ndGen.Rocket 06-21-2007, 03:00 PM uhhh so you're saying that a anime convention is less homosexual??? really???
They're neck and neck.
2ndGen.Rocket 06-21-2007, 03:01 PM Probably a lot less high fives and "good game" ass-pats at an anime convention.
wonner 06-21-2007, 03:21 PM Hey, Smirnoff Ice isn't all that bad y'know... :(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i125/W0NNER/homometersntp.gif
czarofzar 06-21-2007, 03:54 PM I remember the hyped Zima commercials and how the drink tasted like ass.
wotnartd 06-21-2007, 04:59 PM Right now Phillip Morris is throwing out all sorts of ads on the radio about how Wisconsin legislators want to raise the taxes on tobacco and how if everyone that doesn't smoke doesn't pay these, the smokers shouldn't have to. You know, about how taxes should be fair and such.
I have to laugh when I hear it.
