Beer and breasts don't mix, says ad complaints board
NZPA | Wednesday, 28 March 2007


A billboard featuring a scantily clad woman advertising beer has been found to breach advertising standards because it suggested a link between liquor and sexual attraction.


Complainant D Kernot said the billboard in New Plymouth for The Mill Liquor Save was "disgusting, immoral, provocative and seductive in nature" and was "repugnant and insulting to all women".

The billboard featured two rugby ball shaped bottles, each labelled "Beer Ball", and a blonde woman wearing a low cut bikini top, peering over the top of her sunglasses.

"I do not see why there should be any need to exploit the body of a woman to promote the sale of beer," the complainant said.

In response The Mill said the image was part of a wider campaign and could be considered "saucy" rather than "sexy".

"The use of the model needs to be considered in relation to the fact that we are selling a "hot new product best served chilled".

The Advertising Standards Complaints Board said it was in no doubt the billboard was sexually provocative and suggested a link between liquor and sexual attraction.

This breached Principle 2 of the Code for Liquor Advertising which required advertisements to observe a high standard of social responsibility.

It also breached Basic Principle 5 of the Code for People in Advertising by using part of the female anatomy to draw attention to a liquor product.

[mstriumph]

exploitation? - depends.......
how much did the model get paid? :shifty:

[MSTRS]

What a crock! Although it goes a way to explaining the term "Mother's milk' when referring to a particularly nice drop...

[imdying]

Did the hoe that was exploiting herself have anything to say?

[Quartermile]

Show us the ad:shutup:

I'm pretty sure most people realise that there is a link between achohol and attraction, its probably been scientifically proven

[Beemer]

I always wonder about the mentality of people who complain about ads like this. They probably don't even drink beer so the advertising certainly doesn't affect them! And yet they love ads with obnoxious children supposedly driving cars...

[bistard]

I dont know what the problem is really,come on,without alcohol
"How else do fat ugly chicks gets laid"
Tell me that!!!

The same could be said of ugly blokes...

[Macktheknife]

The same could be said of ugly blokes...

and rightly so,
hence the T-shirt design
BEER! helping ugly people get laid since 1872.

What, these people think there isn't one???????

Obviously they have never been working in a bar at 3am and watched the "Dance of the Desperates' just before closing. Truly frightening what some people will do for a shag and a bit of company.

Sounds to me like you are talking from experience Mack.
Come on you can tell us!!

[Robbo]

Amazing is'nt it, all our good and humourous adds seem to get picked on by the PC Brigade. Like the Toyota and Hyuandi adds along with many billboards that have been brilliant and constructed by some very talented people. Then along come the Wingeing Wankers that obviously don't have a life except for maybe lurking in the shadows and probably molesting children, and come out with "you can't have that" when the TV and Movies are full of much greater violence and sexual content, but i guess that's ok with them.:angry:

[Macktheknife]

I am speaking from experience! lol
I have worked in many bars and clubs in 3 countries, and strangely enough, the dance is the same in all places. Or for those old enough to remember, the song remains the same and the music goes on forever.
It is kinda funny sometimes too, you see people who really should know better, doing things that just make you hang your head and walk away (usually laughing under your breath).

[Macktheknife]

Oh, you so deserve bling for that!

You had forgotten hadn't you! lol

[Skyryder]

Actually I tend to agree. Not for the fact that a bikini dressed woman was in an add but that the company needed a bikini dressed woman to promote its products. It just seems to me that everywhere you look there is a female, usualy there for the only reason to get attention for the product. It's almost as if the ad guys have run out of ideas so they stick some sexy chick up on the bill board or whatever. If you look at the most succesful bill board campaings woman are not there. Speights and Tui's spring to mind.

It's a different story if say the board is for a perfume or aftershave where sex can be promted as a virtue for its product. But beer breath, it's a turn off for most woman. I found that out a tender young age.

[What?]

It was the blackest night
There was no moon in sight
You know the stars aint shinin
cause the skys too tight
I heard the scarey wind
I seen some ugly trees
There was a werewolf honkin

Im mean n Im bad, yknow I aint no sissy
Got a big-titty girly by the name of chrissy
Talkin about her n my bike n me...
n this ride up the mountain of mystery, mystery

I noticed even the crickets
Was actin weird up here
And so I figured I might
Just drink a little beer
I said, gimme summa that what yer suckin on...
But there was no reply
cause she was gone...

Wheres those titties that I like so well

Is what I started to yell, then I heard this noise
Like a crunchin twig, n up jumped the devil...hes about this big...

He had a red suit on
An a widows peak
An then a pointed tail
n like a sulphur reek
Yes, it was him awright
I sweared I knowed it was
He had some human flesh
Stuck underneath his claws
You know it looked to me
Like it was titty skin
I said, you sonofabitch!
cause I was mad at him,
Well he just got out his floss
n started cleanin his fang
So I shot him with my shooter
Said: bang bang bang

Then the sucker just laughed n said, put it away...
You know, I ate her all up...now what you
Gonna say?
You ate my chrissy? titties n all!
Well, what about the beer then, boy? were the cans
This tall?
Even her boots? would I lie to you?
Shit, you musta been hungry! yes, this is true.
Well dont they pay you good for the
Stuff that you do?
Well, you know, I cant complain when the checks come through...

Well I want my chrissy, n I want my beer
So you just barf it back up now, devil,

Contract here... yer goddam right, you son-of-a-whore,

Well, lets make a deal if you think thats true
I mean, youre the devil, so whatcha gonna do?

(improvised dialog)
Wait a minute...a tinge of doubt crosses my mind...when you say...
That you want to make a deal with me...

Thats very, very true
Im only interested in two things

I would think...uh...lets see, maybe stravinsky...

And then the devil let go of his pickle
And out come my girl, there was her titties
Flop-floppin...all around the world

She said I got me three beers and a fistful of downs
And Im gonna get ripped, so fuck, you clowns!
Then she gave us the finger, it was rigid and stiff
Thats when the devil, he farted
And she went right over the cliff!
The devil was mad, I took off to my pad
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?
I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?

Well it does.
I saw it on The Simpsons:

At the souvenir shop, Bart picks up "Beer Goggles…See the world through the eyes of a drunk." Bart looks at Selma through the goggles and sees an attractive woman.

[vifferman]

Never mind, SexyAdNaysayers - very soon, NooZild will be a safe, boring place, with no suggestive ads, and no dangerous roads.

And a very high suicide rate and/or medicated population.

And a very lucrative adventure sports/tourism industry.
Unless the SafetyBureaucrats find a way to legislate them out of business.

Speights and Tui's spring to mind.

Yes, but look at Tui's tv ads - HEAPS of women! And Speights subtle use of the blonde barmaid...

But I have to agree in part - it's almost like the ad guys think "mmn, can't think of anything great about this product and I'm not clever enough so I'll just use tits! That will work and they'll buy it anyway!"

As people here know, I am not a fan of small children and in particular babies. So the surest way to make me avoid a product is to use cutesy kids in the ads! As soon as I see an obnoxious child advertising something, I just switch off. (With one exception - the ad for the fruit lollies where the father chops the heads off them - for some reason I like that girl!)

[imdying]

The Speights ad isn't quite some slut with her tits nearly out though. The Tui ads are full of whores though, they should go.

[Pwalo]

It's an ad, not reality. Kind of like 'reality TV', which isn't. Or suggesting sports people are role models.

But beer and breasts don't mix. Glasses are better.

[Fub@r]

PC gone nuts more like..........

At least we havent quite as far as the aussies with their standards. What was it last month they banned that ad where the baby is driving the Hyundai and then down to the beach all because some dimwit said her baby had tried to mimick it!

[Macktheknife]

The Tui ads are full of whores though, they should go.

I agree, they should go straight to my room! lol
