Title: There goes my advertising career
Post by: Krusher on July 27, 2005, 08:16:11 AM
I am just too pretty for ads

Drinks companies have been ordered to hire paunchy, balding men for advertisements to meet new rules forbidding any link between women’s drinking and sex. Watchdogs have issued a list of undesirable male characteristics that advertisers must abide by in order to comply with tougher rules designed to separate alcohol from sexual success.

Lambrini, the popular sparkling drink, is the first to suffer. Its manufacturers have complained after watchdogs rejected its latest campaign because it depicted women flirting with a man who was deemed too attractive.

Actually paunchy balding men and sexual success should be combined.

Clooney doesnt need to use drinks to seduce women. He already has two of the things that attract women without booze. Looks and money.

Paunchy balding men on the otherhand..

"The new CAP code instructs that “links must not be made between alcohol and seduction, sexual activity or sexual success"

Well there goes truth n advertising

See now what would sell alot of products is an ad where the hot chick after drinking a couple of drinks of the product starts flirting with the paunchy balding dude.

He could then turn to the camera and say

"See.
Even I can get laid by hot chicks just by serving them (product name)"

LMAO they wouldnt be able to keep enough in stock

Hahahahahahaaaaa....I guess the subliminal message now will be that drinking will make hunks outta fat balding guys, and ugly girls will be smokin hot. But that's a well documented, scientifically-proven fact by now, anyway.:lol

shoulda read Dred's post before I posted. Kinda sayin the same thing.
