The event that got me thinking about being a man was seeing beer commercials on that vast wasteland called television. We are being told that light beer and low calorie beer is what we want.
What a load of crap. Tasteless, fizzy sugar water is not my idea of beer. The big beer companies product is so bad that they hafta add gadgets and gizmos to the containers as a way to entice you to buy it. Drink a real beer fer cryin' out loud. Low calorie beer is a joke and yet they try to tell us that this is what men drink.
These guys look like idiots in these commercials and are a poor representation of manhood.
So I started noticing in other advertisements how stupidly men are portrayed. No wonder men don't know how to act. Jed wrote that being a man is often confused with disrespect and chauvinism. The way I see it those traits are not so bad as long as they stay in balance. I will always open a door for a lady and let her go ahead of me. Chauvinistic? Probably, but that's me. I'm also not a fan of a man who treats a lady poorly. Disrespect? You're god damn right. That man will never have my respect. Seems like any time you let yourself go to far one way you get into trouble, so I try to keep it all in balance.
So I'm gonna go have a beer, I have some Stella Artois in the fridge. Care to join me?
I had a Longboard Lager... cheers.
ReplyDeleteTake a beer, add water. Now you have a light beer. Saves the mega corp billions and cost them nothing. To quote Mr. Durden:

Better than buying a 6pack: brew your own and get a better beer for less and keep the money out of the hands of people who work to convince you that you need to consume a lesser product so they can be millionaires.
you're right jed and those are 2 of my least favorite things...mega beer corporations and madison ave.
ReplyDeleteand i agree about brewing your own...i'm doing some research and gathering info and i'll be trying my hand at brewing soon...
