Want to look beautiful this summer?

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Why, you can do that in one easy step. Get an ugly friend! (http://www.mccanndigital.co.il/Cannes09/Breezer_Minisite.html)

Thanks, Bacardi, for that excellent trip into really bad photoshopping and distasteful copy writing. I'm all for having a sense of humor, but, "get your own pile of freckled cellulite?" Really? And what's wrong with an aquiline nose?

[JWBear]

That was a rather rude ad. Makes me want to not buy Bacardi.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Wow. Not funny, insulting, gross. I clicked the link to the ad company, McCann Digital, and it's an Israeli company. Sigh.

[blueerica]

Yeah, that was basically just un-funny.

[BarTopDancer]

Klassy Barcardi.

[CoasterMatt]

That is so uncool.

Alcopops are now taxed way higher than other alcohol in Australia to try and stop the Pop-Tarts from drinking so much of them.

Serves them right if this is the kind of **** they think is funny. Mean Girls type humour is totally lost on me.

[Tref]

The only thing truly ugly about that campaign are the souls of the people who created it. Anyway, the link is all ready down. I imagine Bacardi has been getting some really bad press.

2. Brussels Sprouts?

No fair!

[lashbear]

That's only cos you've got a Brussels Sprout fan in the house !! :p

...actually, I quite like them too - with drawn butter. MMmmmm.

[Kevy Baby]

- with drawn butter.I prefer sketched butter

[blueerica]

I like fresh Brussels sprouts - getting them anywhere but off a stalk is teh yux.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I don't know why, but I feel like this post belongs in this thread.

My 85 year old aunt thinks I should shave my beard. Why? Well, if I weren't such a good looking young man, she says, she'd understand the beard. But since I am, she doesn't see the point. Apparently the only reason to have a beard is to mask one's hideousness.

Ah yes, solid values learned at my mother's knee.

But being the ugly friend is the only reason I ever get to go to cool parties!

Perhaps we might work out an arrangement to our mutual advantage. Here's what I'm thinking: we stand next to each other at some cool party. You make me look prettier and I make you look younger. We have a deal?

[Alex]

Sure, but who do we befriend to get invited in the first place?

I also provide thinning services for weddings, mat mitzvahs, and NBA victory riots.

The link didn't work for me.

It's not there anymore, but here you go. (http://kateharding.net/2009/06/20/i-would-need-a-lot-more-than-a-bacardi-breezer-to-be-able-to-stomach-this/)

OR - to mask one's homosexuality.




I used to sport a mustache to detract a bit from my overlarge jewboy nose.
