I don't anything objectionable there, but just to be sure can you post some more?

[Spktyr]

That's not a woman, that's a female troll.

[DTogo]

Guess it's back to Bob & Doug McKenzie ads...

[AFreeBird]

Meh... Sexy women in beer commercials are merely showing the effects of good beer goggles on lib women. The better they look, the better the beer! :-0

[lormand]

I'll take both of them...er, I mean, I'll take two.

[zarf]

This is an outrage!

[Spktyr]

Too bad the beer they're promoting sucks, and the women aren't all that "real".

[Kakaze]

" "We're not against beautiful women, or fun, or anything like that. On the contrary."

I think you are....

[llevrok]

as a generalization, French Canadian women dress with a flair and look very nice. I doubt they are dressing above and beyond for other women unless the whole darn province's females are lesbians !

So what's the problem then? This group seems out of step with the population.

Quebec?

"I'm not unemployed, or smuggling cigarettes across the border.
"I don't eat Pepsi and May Wests for breakfast.
"I don't watch the hockey game doin' it doggy style.
"And non, I don't know Claude, Manon or François in Abitibi-Témiscamingue;
but I'm sure dey all 'ave nice teeth.
"I smoke in church.
"I speak Québécois and Joual; not French or Hanglish; and I pronounce it 'turd', not 'third'.
"And eating french fries with cheese makes sense, mon esti;
"I believe in distinct society – as long as someone else pays for it.
"I believe in language police, not equal rights.
"And, calice, I believe that 'Club Super Sexe' is an appropriate place for my wife and me to celebrate our anniversaire!
"(What da hell, she goes on at ten, anyway!)
"In Québec, the Stanley Cup actually comes round more often than Halley's Comet.
"I can get beer at the dépanneur, not at the convenience store.
"And maybe I can't turn right on a red light, but, tabarnac, I can go right through it!
"Because Québec is the world's largest producer of maple syrup, the 'ome of Céline Dion and Roch Voisine;
"The land where everybody is shackin' up, and the legal drinking age is just a suggestion.
"Je m'appelle Guy - and h'I h'am not Canadian. (Mautadit tabarnac esti...)
"Merci salut la visite!"

(One of the best commercial parodies ever, in my not-so-humble opinion.)

How about they just put on ugly women, but give all the viewers 6 to 12 beers?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

The group is asking the industry to voluntarily adopt the new code, which forbids sexism or the association of products with sexual performance, sexual attraction or popularity.

So I guess this one is out, too:

[AFreeBird]

Regarding my Post #24 NO AMOUNT OF BEER IN THE WORLD, can make Hellen Thomas look good!!

[VOA]

Real Women and Beer!

Real Women and Beer! And Nice Cans, Some May Even Be Real!

[dfwgator]

Of course Schmitt's Gay ads are still ok.

[GQuagmire]
