Because I'm sick of new drinkers taking up space at the bar, they're a nightmare and need to be brought to the dark side (or SLK's lifestyle as we call it)Originally Posted by Lim till i die
Honestly I don't think kids should be made to think alcohol is a good thing through advertising, kid thinks Liverpool is great, Liverpool and Carlsberg walk hand in hand, and so kid grows up thinking Carlberg and Liverpool are great, and misleading children in both ways is just plain wrong
I'm sorry but anyone whos mind works like this is a moron beneath contempt and indeed salvation.
I grew up having Liverpool as my English team and I've never so much as drank a drop of Carlsberg............... or Crown Paint for that matter

True, but I remember doing advertising in media in college, and you'd be surprised what works. My favourite is Coca Cola paying to put Pepsi signs in movies, the Pepsi signs would invariably be broken and covered in dirt, half hanging off the wall of some filthy, diseased looking barnegative advertising, I just like it
Not at all.
But yet:
So why should shirt companies and football clubs bother??I'm sorry but anyone whos mind works like this is a moron beneath contempt and indeed salvation
Would you be in favour of banning all alcohol advertising??
Putting white stickers over all the cans in the off licence section of supermarkets??
What about sweets?? They make kids fat. Ban advertising of them too??
Or washing machines?? I mean a kid could climb into one
Televisions??
Cars??
Coco Pops??
The very white stickers we're going to stick on the cans??
All potentially lethal to children/stupid adults.
Come on now jebus, complete free speech or none at all applies to the ad men aswell you know
Football clubs and advertisers aren't bothered, I'm sure they'd happily brand every newborn's forehead with their company logo if allowed, but governments have to adhere to the standards of the hand wringers, have you not listened to Joe Duffy this decade
You should all just be happy I don't break about my solution to climate change, and drug lords, they're surprisingly similiar to my solution to boy racers
Ah yes yourself, slks and myselfs managed "cull" solution.You should all just be happy I don't break about my solution to climate change, and drug lords, they're surprisingly similiar to my solution to boy racers
Still slightly controversial in this PC world of ours but it has mileage
No, its usually full of fallacies by incoherent, illogical fools.
At least on Foot.ie i get to point this out to them

In my twenties I used to always go first to the letter pages and had quite a few published myself in the IT. One set of correspondence I remember was trying to distinguish between the SS and Waffen SS
Now I go first to the Obituary column (sign of age) in the Daily Telegraph so I can post in the "So farewell then" column of foot.ie. Great sports section in the DT by the way.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Spotted a funny one in the London Metro. It went along the lines of...
"Why dont they consider moving Easter forward a few weeks? We may get better weather for the long weekend."
Words fail me.
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
Agree 100%.
I never normally look at them but just recently I've been checking occasionally to see how desparately these people feel the need to share whatever deluded notion pops into their head (As GavinZac says - this is fine on foot.ie where you would expect nothing less
The best/worst examples are those who think they've got something funny to say that the whole world needs to hear. You can imagine them thinking to themseves - "Oh that IS good. You know what? I should totally send that to the newspaper."
From the Independent today
- For some years now, I have been trying to figure out how Bertie Ahern's make-up could be so costly. Then my husband came up with the answer. Obviously, the Teflon Taoiseach has himself re-coated at regular intervalsNo. It's not. You've deliberately pretended to mishear the lyrics for supposedly humourous intent. You're an idiot.- I was in Croke Park recently and it was a joy to hear everyone singing our national anthem. I always get goose bumps as the 'Soldier's Song' is belted out by all present, and the thrill as the last refrain rises to a climax just before kick-off sends shivers up the spine... "Shovin' Connie around the field..." Great stuff altogether.
The other type is those who feel they have something IMPORTANT to say.
"Hmmm, was it? Was it, Minister? For Shame!- On St Patrick's Day, the Minister for European Affairs, Dick Roche, represented Ireland in Beijing. Was it pure coincidence that he chose Holy Week to wash his hands of the multifarious brutal human rights abuses of the Chinese regime?"
I had a letter printed in IoS a year or 2 ago complaining about the lack of
domestic football on RTE. It was in retaliation to a comment made by a
sports correspondent congratulating Villarreal on their rise tio success while
comparing it with the eL clubs failures

Funnily enough I grew up despising Liverpool and now I think Carlsberg is great!
I loved Celtic and thought NTL were a pack of c**ts also
