Stardate 20010711.1750 (Crew, this is the Captain): I love baseball. I hate beer ads. (I don't drink.) They used to be dorky-guy-drinks-beer-and-gets-the-girl, which was stupid. But recently they seem to have changed the plotline, and I can't figure out why.
The new story is that some dorky guy meets one or more drop-dead-gorgeous right-out-of-the-pages-of-Maxim there-ain't-no-such women in a bar, tries to pick them up and gets snubbed and slinks away with his tail between his legs. The message seems to be "Drink our beer and you won't get lucky." Why are they telling me that? I can think of only two explanations. Either the real point is to make men depressed so they'll drink more to drown their sorrow, or the ads are actually targeted at women. (discuss)
