Replaced by Guinness Amplify

"to marketing" and all the other versions.

Away with this nonsense.

Dr. Mantis Toboggan · 18-09-2014 03:16PM

I bunch Arthurs Day attendees with the shower of tits that go around in Christmas jumpers. Both slobbering around the place and not able to handle their drink.

Fcuking scourge of the earth

Greatest moment on the internet to date. Nothing before or since has made me laugh so much, or feel so much gleeful horror.

Canceled.

And a lack of organisation by those who can't hold their drink has forced the terminally easily led to find a replacement excuse to get pissed resulting in sporadic panic drinking by those who seek new resons to puke their guts up in the name of enjoyment.

Busted Flat. · 18-09-2014 04:29PM

We will be celebrating it down here, despite the whinge duffy, krusty moore and their fellow travellers.

i think you get sued for posting the video / direct link

TheSheriff · 18-09-2014 04:51PM

I know this was a complete marketing stunt but the evening itself was great craic if you took it for what it was . Some great music to be had around Dublin city and all for free, I enjoyed it the last few years after work for a few hours (drinking heinekin not Guinness).

RobertKK · 18-09-2014 04:57PM

It backfired last year with all the negative press from people fed up with a made up day simply for marketing purposes.

EVERYBODY knew it was marketing, I have not heard a single person ever say otherwise. In all the threads I did not see any genuine reply where someone felt conned in any way shape or form.

The problem was you had reams of idiotic gob****es who actually DID think people were falling for a some sort of confidence trick, fucking morons who actually thought people were out there who were stupider than themselves -and who had to be saved from their own ignorance, the irony of it was amazing.

We got to enjoy Bud Rising and Heineken green energy subsidised gigs for a lot longer than the arthurs day event.

I hope all the moaning cuntholes boycotted the likes of electric picnic who were also sponsored by drinks companies.

EyeSight · 18-09-2014 05:07PM

Because as usual in Ireland, if there is some sort of social problem like binge drinking, rather than try to change peoples attitudes or behaviors, it's easier to just ban/cancel things(other bad solutions include adding a tax and creating an overpaid committee to suggest even more terrible solutions).

It was a bit of fun :rolleyes: Everyone knew it was a marketing ploy, but they held free events around the country and bars actually made an effort to join in. Sure some people went to far, but that's no reason to ruin the fun for everyone else. By the same logic we should ban alcohol sales on paddys day

An incredible 55 likes for that page too! No doubt it'll be as much of a rip-roaring success as the official one!
