I'm sorry Polyxene, but there hasn't been enough beer made since the beginning of time to drink Helen Thomas pretty. She is what we real drinkers call "coyote ugly", that is if you wake up with her head on your arm, you gnaw your arm off to keep from waking her up!

LOL!
I don't watch enough TV to even know what beer commercials are currently running, but I can't decide if I should laugh or be insulted at this:
Drinks companies have been ordered to use uglier men in their advertising campaigns.The Advertising Standards Authority believes "balding" and "paunchy" men would be less likely to encourage women to drink to achieve social success.The new advertising code stresses that links must not be made between alcohol and seduction.
Duh...guess we're too stooopid to figure that one out for ourselves!
Here..I wrote one for the guys:
The American Heart Association announced an agreement today with the National Football League and the National Basketball Association to use uglier women as cheerleaders. The Association believes "unattractive" and "paunchy" women would be less likely to encourage men into a sedentary lifestyle. The new code, designed to free men from an endless lifetime of beer swilling and game watching, stresses that watching attractive women jump and jiggle is equally bad for a man's heart.

"encourage women to drink to achieve social success"I never really needed much encouragment to drink, but never realized I could drink to become more successful. I wonder if my boss will let me drink on the job now?
"The new advertising code stresses that links must not be made between alcohol and seduction."
Oh heavens no....that never happens. If I had a nickel for every time I have been seduced by alcohol....I would have $5.65.

Won't this lure all ugly men into drinking? Is that fair?

WOW! That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of! As if a woman would drink something because some cute guy was in the ad. Yeah, right, we will be getting dates with him if we drink that product!
Besides, I like slightly overweight men. My favorite was 6'3" and about 275 pounds. Who wants some guy that looks like a girl anyway?

"We would advise that the man in the picture should be unattractive - ie overweight, middle-aged, balding etc. These guys wouldn't know sexy if it bit them.
Some pretty boy is not sexy.
This is sexy.
