It's not the alcohol playing tricks on your eyes: The striding figure on some bottles of Johnnie Walker scotch will be Jane Walker. Liquor maker Diageo says it plans to roll out bottles next month for a limited run. Diageo says it's the first time in the brand's nearly 200-year history that the logo has been depicted as a woman.
It's the latest gender change for a famous pitch figure: Last month, KFC started airing commercials with country star Reba McEntire playing the role of Col. Sanders. And Brawny briefly sold paper towels with a woman in a plaid shirt, instead of the usual Brawny dude.

Johnnie Walker...Pink?
brawny? that was a woman? i thought trudeau was visiting canada and dressed the part.
Wait,.. Daisy Duck & Minnie Mouse may soon come out of the closet as a Lesbian Couple. SARC
Alcohol has a most interesting effect on women.
I’m pro Jane campaign.
How about Johnny Street Walker?
I see a variety of photoshops coming on...
Fun with Johnnie and Jane.
Yet, we never see Uncle Jemima, Floyd, the Progressive Insurance Guy, or a douche commercial where some girl is in a canoe with her dad and asking him about days when she doesnt feel fresh.
This sort of pandering is eye-roll inducing to their core customer. They’d better hope they gain a lot of female customers because making their liquor girlie isn’t going to do them any favors with anybody else.
LOL! It’s a cute logo in any case - if they have to give equal time to women (and I say this as a woman) at least they have something that looks fine and fun!
I’m a woman and I love Scotch. JW is actually an excellent blend, although oddly enough, I prefer the Red to the Black. Of course, the Blue is truly excellent, but normally, my budget and my bars don’t run to that...
Shouldn’t it be “Johnnie” Walker?
Is her middle name “Street”?
So bored of this.
I’m sick to death of this “woman” stuff. They can lie through their teeth if a man looks at them cross-eyed and ruin his life without due process.They bitch and moan about equality but special adjustments have to be made in certain jobs that is made for men only. If they want equality, damn they can start acting like a man and quit sniveling like a girl. If and when my Hub can start drinking Scotch again, it will be Johnny Walker Red......no gal on a bottle of Scotch in this house!!...ppfftt
Where in the world did you get that idea?
How about transsexuals? Johhny-got-his-dick-chopped becomes Chelsea, or Kaiytlyne?
Serious contender for post of the year right there.
