Get It! It's Funny Because She's Fat


Beer ads have just sunk to a new low. Cooper's Beer, I've never heard of it either, has just won an award at some ad festival for their unfunny as well as misogynistic ad featuring a badly Photoshopped woman who's...GASP fat. Get it, guys?! She's an overweight woman, and you wouldn't want to go home with her because of it. So, drink this shitty beer with 2.9% alcohol, and you won't get so drunk that you bring home a fat girl! Great message. Then, people wonder why over 15% of young women have unhealthy attitudes toward food. Okay, first of all, why would you want to drink a beer with so little alcohol content? Isn't the whole point of drinking a beer is to ultimately get drunk? And, say you did want to get drunk, would you then have to drink twice the amount of regular beers? Sounds great! Get less drunk and spend more! Sign me up. I'm beyond perplexed with this one.

The second ad is pretty bad too. Chicks with glasses and freckles are ugly. Who made up this ad campaign?! A group of 10 year-old boys?? I'm surprised there's not a third one that says, "Girls have cooties. Drink this beer."

I liked this site better when it was about your "vapid and tawdry existence"
