8. My friends told me that Heinies for export sucked in comparison to Dutch domestic
Not being a beer drinker, I have to go on their advice

9. Your friends are absolutely correct!
And even so, exported Heinies - even the light one - are better than most of our domestics. :puke: Sewers Lite :puke:

11. true that

The trick is finding one that's readily available. I get sick of finding the perfect micro-brew, enjoying it for a season or so, and never being able to find it again. Then I have to go through the pain of finding one I like again.

I finally decided (for the most part) to stick with something that I enjoy and can get at the store down the street all the time. I don't have a wide palette of beers that I really enjoy, so I tend to stick with what I know I like.

15. Try here
It's an article in AdAge.

http://adage.com/garfield/article?article_id=120078


P.S. My first thought wasn't that the ad was sexist, just that it is revolting. But possibly sexism is a reason along w/ shitty art direction.

17. Comments at jezebel.com HahAhahah!
I'm not the only one who's saying :wtf: about this commercial.

WHERE do they think a uterus is in an actual female body? I know mine isn't in my ribcage, but maybe that's because I'M not anatomically correct.

@ThaKadinskyPapers: Exactly!
I'm worried about what the accompanying pork rinds and hot sauce robo-girl will look like. And I fear that some "Weird Science" type male grad student is already working on it/her.

20. I'd never seen it before but this thread made me look for it.
A wee bit disturbing. At least she knew how to pour it right though... that's got to count for something, right? :P

Seriously, has every ad exec in the country started taking drugs at the same time? All of a sudden the ads are just getting weird and creepy.

22. I'm sick of her, too, but sadly that commercial is an improvement over
the Heineken commercials with that insipid fucking "don't you wish your girlfrield was hot like me" song.

Let's concentrate our ire at the commercials that really deserve it: the Mr. Opportunity Toyota commercials (or is it Honda?), the Verizon commercials with that "you should see his truck" kid, and any Ovaltine commercial. :grr:
