LOL... I like beer ads - rarely drink it, though - the ads are entertaining enough ;0)

I like the beer ad (don't remember the brand) where the two pretty women are chatting about the one's ex-. Scene shifts to th guy with his new flame and as he is talking, his head gets smaller and smaller.

That's not a beer ad. That's an ad for Progressive Insurance. The original version of that ad concludes with the cheating BF and the other woman on the couch. Using her mouse through the voodoo website Cheatingboyfriend.com, she pinches his balls with a pair of pliers.

The Men's Resource Center made hay over this (click here) and now the ad has been edited, although the company doesn't appear to have written an official apology.

The Fosters you can buy in the US is brewed in Canada. That is how they can call it "imported"

My father in law used to mention a beer manufactured by the Griesidich Brothers, and the name was pronounced something like "Greasy Dick". I thought it was a joke, until I did some 'net research.

This sounds more like an ad for "Six Feet Under". Roll ad. Cut to coverspot: Joe Bungeejumper 1985-2003.

That sounds like it would go over big in San Francisco.

I watched the ad on your link. The screen is is very small but from what I could see I would definitely say it's not for small kids.

Right click on ad after it loads, choose "full screen" the ad will go to full screen when you hit play. Agreed, Not for kids. Note to self "don't bungee jump in Australia"
