Stupid billboard

I can't imagine what kind of marketing genius thought they should associate their beverage with a rodent.

Am I right or am I right?

Hi Anon,

Thanks for visiting my blog! Now just help me out here - which don't you get, my objections to the billboard or the ad itself? :)

Uh, is that a trick question?

Eclecta said...

Anon - no, actually ... :)

:D Oh. Okay. I'd have to say the latter.

Cool ... well, okay, here's my interpretation of the ad:

- a gopher lives in a hole
- ergo, the hole is its home
- ergo, home = down
- when the gopher is homesick, it goes back into its hole (down)
- the ad compares how Bud Lite "goes down" with how a gopher returns to its home

Which all seems ... stupid. My 2 pence!

Ok-I'd have to say I MUCH prefer Budweiser.

Actually, Coors Light is a good brew. I'd had to say the Coors Light is probably my favourite over all.
