I think it was Coors Lite did this disgusting ad years ago that pleas basically a list of all the things that MANLY MEN love and each verse of the dumb song that accompanied it said “…and twins.”

The point being that a three way with two sisters was definitely way up on every dude’s to-do list.

“They had these two women who named it the most misogynistic ad of the year,” Godsey said. “I was like, ‘Really?’ I had to look up what misogynistic meant.”

“It’s not as if you need to maintain an erection while consuming the beverage.”Thanks! That’s going to make beer-drinking a whole lot easier from now on!

Anyone with a mouth can drink beer. Miller nothing this, has decided to advertise accordingly. Note to the folks getting upset: not being catered to is NOT THE SAME as being discriminated against.

Rogan's success is literally attributable to identity politics. In-groups vs out-groups is the bedrock of branding, capitalism, and especially politics. Doofus.

It’s not a real 80s beer ad unless the women are laughing and jumping up and down in slo-mo. And the lighting is hyper colorful and contrasty, and the camera’s horizon is always crooked and in motion. Just like in a real bar! And there’s some knock-off of Bob Seger howling about America or a growly voice dude saying AMERICA every other word.

Sorta.

Y'know, for someone who "really hates identity politics," that stereotypical 80s teen movie preppy villain's dumbass jock sidekick who never has had and never will have an original thought in his life sure indulges in A LOT of it...

If you want delicious beet from female brewers, Three Weavers in Inglewood is the way. Plus, they have a few Grateful Dead titled beverages in the mix, which is always a hook for me.

Worried about being emasculated by your cold, frothy beverage? Want a beer that makes you really feel your manhood? Try Meister Bates, available in the 16 ounce, stainless steel package you only wish you had.

I'll say this for Coca Cola (and Wrigley's, amd Levi), at least they turned the tables. That Wrigley's ad set to It's Alright Now was probably my introduction to "Wow, sometimes boys are hot." And the Levi's laundrette ad.

But can we just not objectify anyone now? Surely we can get past that as a species. *dies laughing*

Jane: “No, Emily, those ads were made for the male gaze not gays.

Emily: Oh, that’s very different. Never mind

Because this is America, where people say with a straight face that gun violence is attributable to feminism and video games, beer advertisers are not permitted to show people doing one weird thing in beer commercials. That one weird thing is actually drinking beer.
