Want to look beautiful this summer?

LSPoorEeyorick · 06-20-2009, 09:54 AM

Why, you can do that in one easy step. Get an ugly friend!

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?

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

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

blueerica · 06-20-2009, 11:19 AM

Yeah, that was basically just un-funny.

Klassy Barcardi.

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.

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.

Just the same I am going to add Bacardi to my official List of No.

2. Brussels sprouts
3. Rap music
4. Charles in Charge
5. Dianetics
6. Bacardi

2. Brussels Sprouts?

No fair!

lashbear · 06-21-2009, 06:36 PM

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

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