Supergee just linked to a horribly offensive liquor ad campaign, so I have to counter with my new favorite ad campaign, which to my surprise is for alcohol: The Most Interesting Man in the World. Most beer ads suck, and I don't even drink beer. These ads, I love.
In each ad the Most Interesting Man in the World goes on adventures, usually in evening clothes, excels at unusual sports, and rescues animals. They're like something out of an early 60s movie, like Clark Gable, Sean Connery, Ricardo Montalban and James Coburn rolled into one. Last night I saw another in the series. "He can disarm you with a look. Or his hands. Either way."
[ETA: Eat Me Daily has links to all the ads, plus a bunch of bon mots from the Most Interesting Man. My favorite is on bar nuts: "See those nuts? They are there to make us thirsty. While I don't like being coerced, in this case I shall make an exception."]
One of my college friends worked on this campaign--I'm so happy to see it get props from you!
"His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man's entire body." Squee!
Alicia, you have really cool friends.
Womzilla: Also, his organ donaton card lists his beard.
