Brew Ad

This is US-1 going North close to Le Jeune. The traffic was backed up so I had a chance to get to this huge beer commercial that intrigued me for a few days. What does it say? This turns out to be quite a controversial ad by the giant beer pusher: Miller. They are beginning a new wave of commercial for their Miller Lite beer centered on “Man Up,” the newly invented "catch phrase." The controversy is that these ads imply "men" who do not drink Miller Lite beer are “lesser men!” TV ads of the same kind insinuate that such "men" have tattoos in their lower back in the way that many women find fashionable these days. Hhhmmm... talking about lower back tattoo, did you see this blog of mine?

First, I don't care at all for beer. Second, I care even less for commercials except that some of them tickle my funny bones. Finally, I absolutely cannot comprehend why people would buy what some "famous" guys/gals tell them what to buy. Only in America? May be not... there are ads everywhere around the world so they seem to work. How sad!

No matter where you are in the world, every man feels they aren't man enough and will do everything they could, just to feel that "manliness" in them.

Just passing through.
