Title: Actual 42 Below Vodka advertisements
Post by: tamarack on November 26, 2006, 06:25:34 pm
These are actual advertisements, and two commercials, for 42 Below Vodka that someone posted on a forum that my son frequents, SomethingAwful. Have a sense of humor or don't look at these.

There are 2 videos of their commercials here, too, both of which are very funny. The links kind of got lost down at the bottom.

There are 6 or so commercials on their website but they vary widely as far as their appeal is concerned. The 2 that are linked here are the best, especially the one called "That's so gay."

It is a disturbing mix of really funny and line em up and shoot em. For some reason this weekend I lost all patience with jokes at the expense of gay people. I'm not sure what set me off-maybe Thanksgiving dinner with my sister-in-law's people. She has a cousin who I'm pretty sure is gay and not out. He is quite a large young man and I suspect he is feeding some very stong lonliness and isolation.

I'm proud to say that 42 Below is made in New Zealand (42 degrees below the equator).

Yeah, I'm a bit ambivalent about the "gay" advertisements, but on the whole I think they're good-heartedly blokey, rather than homophobic.

That's the way I took it, too, RouxB. I felt guilty for laughing, especially at the That's Gay video, but it was too funny not to. (Not at all funny, though, when one considers your sister-in-law's cousin.)

I'm glad to know that you interpret it this way. I was hoping that was the case, especially since one of the commercials is in support of the (do I have the initials right?) CSD Gay Day/Parade. Still, I hesitated quite a while before posting them.

I just re-read your post and noticed this. I wondered where it came from! Thanks for pointing that out.
