I've never once drunk a budweiser on purpose and they've probably spent several hundred dollars trying to convince me to do so

that's because they're not advertising to you, they're advertising to alcoholics

definitely, 10% of the country kills two 30 racks a week and the other 90% enable them

coke is not advertising to you, the reasonably self controlled it professional, they're advertising to the diabetic amputee who still drains a two liter with each meal

it's like 2 to 1 ads to content because absolutely dick all appears to happen 90% of the time

neither team can pass because each team's pass defense is so good
passing is entertaining ergo

lol

but what was the ad? baths are dangerous, watch grown mean get head injuries now?

it was a little kid telling a bunch of little kid stories that they animated and then he says "that won't happen. because i'm dead." cut to a montage of an overflowing bathtub, a tipped over television, and something else. boom.

beer nerd friends of mine are legit mad about that ad

making fun of effete elitists is an old chestnut though

hard to be a beer nerd and make it into the top 20% of drinkers that ad was for, killing a six pack of delirium tremens daily would get q costly

can we talk about ads (esp fuckin miller) that do fake subliminal advertising and then talk about how they're doing subliminal advertising? it's grating

eh?

i thought there was oodles of evidence that subliminal advertising was basically useless. unless you mean the boring kind pagancow is always on about re: branding making you associate the brand with a cherished memory

no it's just beer companies and the like flashing half naked women while they try hard to joke about it

As a Millennial I posted:

nationwide is in the news again this week for firing a woman because she asked to be able to pump breast milk at work. go look at their facebook for a laugh

btw the court ruled against her in the lawsuit because "men can lactate too," and the supreme court denied her appeal

better yet they didn't say "you're fired" they said "go be with your kids", which she did and was then fired for leaving work

she was so overworked that she was lactating uncontrollably and couldn't use the lactation room because they were "processing her paperwork"
