But for the obvious fact that you had to go and write something about it like this obviously then the add did what it was supose to…Make you remember the add…

Basically you are all a disgrace to the human race, and I would be happy to hear you had all contracted some hideous disease.
Hmmmmmm…maybe something that involves radiation therapy, that way you will only suffer more as you try and fight it. Yeah. That’s it. Radiation therapy.

Morons.

PS. i only stumbled across your crap site looking for the lyrics to the late and great old school tooheys ad “I feel like a tooheys, I feel like a tooheys, I feel like a tooheys or 2!”

Never a dull moment, honestly.

XFST says:

To explain, in the aforementioned cougar ad, its the womans abnormally large breasts which sell the drink. Blatant, sexist, no contest. The purpose of having her there is to objectify her, and thus sell Cougar.

This is an obvious misinterpretation of the ad.

The point of the Cougar Ad is that the bloke ordering the drinks is stupid. Not only does he need to repeat his order to himself in order to remember it, but upon sighting the barmaid’s huge breasts, he promptly loses the plot and completely forgets what it was he was trying to remember.

The Cougar ads are sexist – they vilify men. But what is even clearer is that they specifically vilify their own customer base and denigrate their own product.

The second cougar ad (where the bloke asks for “A Slice Of Lemon” quite clearly infers that the ONLY reason anyone in the ad is drinking Cougar is so they can get a look of the tits and ass of the barmaid.

So not only is their product not worth drinking unless it comes with a free peepshow, but their customers are the sort of slavering losers who either

a:) Can’t Keep Their Faculties intact when looking at breasts or
b:) Would do anything possible in order to get a look at some breasts.

Neither ad really says anything positive about either Cougar Bourbon or the people who drink Cougar bourbon.

The point is that they are funny in a boofhead sort of way, and Cougar took the gamble that their potential customers are (Unlike Cristy) in posession of a sense of humour, even when that humour comes at their own expense. And the Ads were apparently a huge success.

The “Barry Dawson is THE COUGAR” series of Ads continue down the same line. Barry Dawson is a dipshit and his “lady friend” shakes her head in disgust at his repeated attempts to bignote himself.

However, the kind of people who actually drink Cougar are quite capable of having a laugh at themselves and Cougar knows it and continues with the same strategy.

I wouldn’t hold your breath for any Ads targeted at angry femininists to be featuring humour at their expense any time soon. So do women in general have no sense of humour, or just the ones who blog about “sexist” ads?

BTW, the girls launched into the clouds are obviously dressed as barmaids. All the ingredients are launched into a magical cloud where they are mixed and the beer than rains down on the city. There isn’t any suggestion that any harm came to the women, they didn’t splat on the ground after they were fired from the Trebuchet, they were obviously in the magical cloud pouring the beer.

It’s pretty obvious to anyone who has an imagination. So basically what we’ve got here is a couple of people who take everything so seriously that they’ve lost their imaginations and sense of humour. Lefty-land must be a such a sad, boring place.

That’d be more convincing if the “Men are portrayed as dorks in advertising and it’s all the feminists’ fault” wasn’t such a perennial and beloved staple of antifeminist letter writers / article writers.

P.S i’m still laughing…seriously.

PEACE.

There are people in this country
That work hard every day
And it’s not for fame and fortune that they strive
But the fruits of their labour
Are worth more than their pay
So it’s time a few of them were recognised
