Sperm-shaped booze bottle slammed

A row has broken out in Holland over an alcoholic drink served in sperm-shaped bottles.
Anti-drinking campaigners say it is a marketing gimmick which wrongly associates sex with alcohol.
The bottles of Popsy contain a vanilla-caramel flavoured drink carrying the slogan "I'm coming".
The Dutch Foundation for Alcohol Prevention says the campaign is perverse and breaks advertising codes.
He says the codes are there to prevent the link being drawn between drinking and sexual or social success.
The Foundation's Wim Van Dalen told Twentse Courant Tubantia: "They've crossed the bounds of decency. Its absolutely not done to link alcohol to sexuality that way."

More squalid "news" from Ananova.
Makes pimple-faced teenagers snicker and giggle.

I'd have to agree with 1PH, i'm not drinking anything that resembles sperm. No way no how, it might be something that a woman might consider, but not this kid no way.

Ain't the Dutch great? Go to a coffee shop and order some hashish, then go get a hooker and, if Grandpa gets the sniffles, have him put to sleep.

So what would your line be? Do you swallow? That's definately a face slapper line if I've heard one, even if she does.

That's nice to know. Are there any Libertarians on this thread?
To: Texaggie79
I'm a small 'l' libertarian. But, if you have a sense of humor beyond "Why did the chicken cross the road", then, you MUST be a libertarian to some around here.
To: Texaggie79
Well, Tex, I wasn't going to put that swarmy spermy
thingamagig on the thread. LOL. I didn't have the sake.
Actually that little Popsy is kind of cute.
