Maybe you DUers can help me out a little bit, b/c I'm not too bright: 
 So today, having returned home from seeing an emergency patient and I with a terrible cold (teddible code), I sat down to watch some football (Eagles who I marginally can't stand b/c of Vick the dog-killer) and baseball (Phillies). After all the huge flags and ceremony the games began and then I saw it for the fortieth time, and I don't get it - or rather, I don't know what's become of the 'younger' generation...

So it's a beer ad - and this rather dorky looking guy is on the phone with his (naturally) gorgeous girlfriend, and he tells her that he can't see her b/c he's studying for the "bar exam". So he in fact is in a bar, by himself, and he and the bartender are discussing the coldness of the beer and the labels to that effect and whatnot. At that point, two gorgeous young ladies again ask him if he's in law school, and he says "No" in a really denigrating fashion as though "how dare they even deign to speak with him", and he runs away.

So therefore, I must conclude that a young 'gentleman' would rather drink a piss-thin beer like Coors, by himself, than spend time either with his gf, or TWO bee-yoo-tee-ful young ladies. And believe me, he's no beauty himself. I find it strange that a commercial which is extraordinarily carefully crafted, implies that beer drinking takes precedence over possibly 'hooking up' as they now say, with pretty women who seem interested in one. Further, it is not the first ad of its type: I recall the ad where the guy won't go upstairs to see his wife/gf's new nightgown, or the satin sheets on the bed, but he will run up to get a beer and slide across the satin sheets out the window.

Yes, I know I'm talking about the ad and the beer, and yes I know that I'm not in the target market, but I'll tell you one thing: I was NEVER in the target market that they're promoting their beer towards.

So what do you think? Am I just way behind the times?

The primitive has one thing right. That commercial is really stupid. Many beer commercials are.

3. Um. Hard to say.
   
Sounds like a silly unrealistic commercial. And it isn't the first one you'll see. 

Our parents were convinced we were a hopeless generation who would screw up the planet.

Oops. Maybe they were right.

And I was all ready with this intelligent comment about our younger generation . . .
Your parents were right.  You should have listened to them.

I'd raise two points..

The first is that all the American and Canadian beers I've drunk were just like sex on the beach. F***ing near water. Sam Adams was acceptable if barely. Bud is undrinkable swill.

The second is that the older I get the more likely I am to go for the beer first and the hot woman second.

A commercial that takes liberties with reality? Say it ain't so!

Is there anything that does not piss these losers of life off?

Isn't posting at DU and saying that you're not too bright somewhat redundant?

Plus, if he watched the football game I would imagine he was really pissed when they stretched the flag across the field.

At the start of the Atlanta/Chicago game the folks were cheering throughout the singing of the anthem, and I heard "USA" chants afterward. I wonder how many liberal heads exploded with that. Anti-American bastards.

It is a television commercial - they are designed to be entertaining enough so that you will remember whatever they are hawking. Obviously, it worked. Geesh....   :whatever:

Maybe the guy was gay and really didn't like girls. That would make him a hero over there, wouldn't it?

I'm struck by the length of time it must have taken to compose that DUmp post about a stupid commercial.  He had to think it through, type it out, proofread it, ponder over it, then babysit it for replies.  Shouldn't he be doing free dental work for indigent patients?

None of the gay guys I know would be caught dead drinking that beer!   :hyper:
