You see it every day: Commercials and print ads for beer. showing people have a great time, sexy girls, and even occasionally mentioning that the beer taste mighty fine. About the same formula used to advertise soda: “Boy, is this beer yummy. Fun times! Sexy ladies! Buy our beer!”.
Then, every so often, one of the brewers puts out an ad about…GASP!..underage drinking!:eek: 99% of Underage drinking,by the way, usually is an ADULT over 18 but under 21. Which means they’re going to find their ass in the mid-east real soon fighting a war, but had better not drink a God damn beer or they’ll find their ass in jail!
I just saw one with that Nazi’s descendant Cooers. He says if we know any underages who drink, we should do something about it, talk with them. Well, duh:rolleyes:. Maybe if he didn’t have a million commercials on television, lying about how great his beer was (yes, LYING! Cooers sucks! Has a moldy taste to it!) maybe the younger crowd wouldn’t be so interested in trying some.
I’m not saying to ban or censor these commercials. I’m saying, just don’t act so fucking shocked and concerned when young folk see your ads and want to try the product!
Let’s stop being so fucking weird about alcohol, and making it such a forbidden fruit. Once we stop doing that, I guarantee problems with it will go down.
When Joseph Coors established the Heritage Foundation in 1974, he chose Roger Pearson, an outspoken anti-semite and pro-nazi, as co- editor of the Heritage Foundation publication Policy Review. Pearson is the author of a book on Aryan supremacy called “Race and Civilization”, and has been the editor or co-editor of several racist and neo-nazi magazines. (National Guardian, May 1, 1985). The Heritage Foundation is a right-wing think tank which seeks to abolish civil rights laws, minimum wage laws, affirmative action, rights for the handicapped, and arms control.
So now we’re responsible for the actions of our ancestors? Exactly how many generations back does this burden go? I mean, even Jesus was descended from those damn sinners Adam and Eve.
No, no, no, no,NO!:rolleyes: I was only justifying my insult to Coors (HA! I spelled it right this time!:p)
I don’t really care about his ancestors. I only use them to insult Coors, his shitty beer, and this fucked up attitude every has. Every channel on t.v. is beer, beer, beer. Then we act all disgusted when or youngsters try it. I mean, what the fuck do we expect? Make anything a forbidden fruit and those have nots will want it even more. We need to change our cultures weird outlook on alcohol. In fact, it needs to change about alot of drugs.
Ummm… ok? I don’t get it. I know what they say, which is why the corporations deny having kids in mind when making them, to cover their asses. Did I miss something?
and pk I knew they were far on the right but, yeeeesh. Never knew that, thanks for the cite.
Yea the 21 drinking law makes what should be legal illegal. The only time I might have perhaps drove drunk was because of the stupid 21 drinking age law. I might have been at this club where they gave out braclets to people 21 so they could order at the bar - I might have been 19 or 20 so didn’t get a braclet. I might have found one around midnight and started to pound them down. I might have left at around 1am. If they let me drink (that is if this really happened) when I came in I would have been ok to drive when I left.
Also IIRC Military 18+ can legally drink on bases.
australia has a legal drinking age of 18. ive been there ive done that. stopped people from dying, put people in taxis, and so on. even done a few silly things myself.
i used to think this was a good idea, and our country should be praised for having such liberal drinking laws. the more i go out recently, the more i think it should be raised. maybe i only seem to see the stupid cross-section of the 18-21 drunk people.
