If you've seen it somewhere can you link it, or give details?

What's the problem with it?

I think we need more than one line telling posters to 'look it up' to go on


Edit: thanks eve. Oh dear.

hi sorry didnt know you could link maybe its just me but i find this really offensive and i would normally not be easily offended

It's a bit much alright but it doesn't really offend me to be honest

It's pretty bad to be fair. I doubt it will be advertised in Ireland though (purely a guess based off the fact it's advertising bottled Guinness) so I don't know what the advertising standards are like elsewhere.

Classic.

I don´t get it...I mean I get it but Guinness advertising is usually vaunted for it´s artistic flair and it´s intelligence...this is the total opposite. Is that the point they´re trying to make? Is it an ironic take on all the other run-of-the-mill macho beer commercials?

Yeah it said it was posted 2 years ago....not new...is it a fake? It has to be.

The ad is certainly not meant for an Irish audience . - Do you know any Irishman would drink a bottle of Guinness so small ?

The targetted audience would probably be more liberated than the Irish equivalent .

Eve_Dublin

Phhheeeeew. I´m a big Guinness drinker and have been for about 8 years...this completely turned me off. Yay for Guinness!!

Sharing one bottle between three people is disgusting.

Also, since it's fake I'll close this
