Is there anything better than beer and boobs? Half of you out there completely agree with this statement, and the other half not only disagree but also want me banned from ever writing again. \nPeople protest different things everyday, whether it's Starbucks or the Pope, and the newest issue is the beer company that dared to show scantily clad female mud-wrestlers debating and fighting over Miller Lite's "less filling or tastes great" quality.\nThe commercial starts off with two women drinking beer and debating the previously mentioned topic. This leads to the two females scratching, slapping and ripping at each other's soon to be half-naked bodies. The ad continues with the girls now going from a fountain to a wet cement pit, culminating with one of the girls saying, "Let's make out." The ad then goes into a bar, where two guys are talking about how great of a commercial their "girl-fight fantasy" would be. The two also state, "Who wouldn't like that?" The camera then pans to two girls looking disgusted at the idea.\nThis commercial led to a few hundred e-mails, mostly from females, telling Miller Brewing Company how offensive the commercial is. My question is, who drinks beer? Who also likes an occasional wet-catfight? The answer: guys do. This is the perfect commercial for the American beer-drinking male, and even Miller pokes fun at itself by showing two women mad at the idea. \nI like the commercial, but since protesting ads is the new fad, here are some that I think should be banned.\nCarrot Top -- 1-800 CALL ATT\nIs Carrot Top funnier than any other professional comedian? Actually, is Carrot Top funnier than anyone in the world? Has anyone ever laughed at these horrible spots? What the hell was AT&T thinking? Even David Arquette was a better spokesman than this fuzzy-haired freak. The Top may just be the most annoying person ever, and I am fairly positive that if he ever went missing, in a Jimmy Hoffa sort-of way, the police wouldn't even bother to investigate.\nDramatization -- Ford Trucks\nThese are possibly the worst commercials on television, and that's including the "Bill Ford talks about Ford" spots last year, where the billionaire talks about how he likes the outdoors so much he won't sleep in a hotel without a lot of windows. Talk about roughing it. Anyway, this particular group of ads shows how Ford trucks can achieve the impossible, like towing a Titanic-sized ship through ice, and the astounding speed accomplished and required for towing a huge airplane to the point that it lifts off the ground. The bad thing about these commercials is the fact that a "Dramatization" label accompanies each one. The technique is the same that lured millions of children to buy the board game "Guess Who" because we thought the game pieces actually talked. Luckily, I already fell for this ruse once with Mattel so I know to not buy the truck.\nThe Interns -- Dell Computers\nSure, Steven, the "Dude, You're Getting a Dell" guy is gone, but now we are faced with four annoying teens rather than just one. And not only are they annoying, but boy are they stupid. If Dell wants us to think that they hire the biggest idiots that know nothing about computers as interns, then they have achieved their objective. If they wanted me to think that I need all my computer-buying advice from boring junior high kids, they have failed. How the hell is Dell the number one computer company with ads that suck this much? \nSo with a little help from everyone out there, we can get these commercials stricken from the airwaves. No more crappy comedians, fake situations and ADHD teenagers. Just boobs, catfights and monkeys.
More boobs, less Carrot Top
