Would that help me with my annual farmer's tan?

Northern Monk brewery recently released a special edition Ireland stout, with an Ireland themed can, with IRELAND emblazoned on it. Ireland now, not The Republic of Ireland. Anyway, the can included a map of Ireland in the design. The problem? The six counties were lopped off. So they've recalled the cans. And, naturally, they're being accused of being "woke" for this, predominantly by British twats, of course. What does your inner Paddy tell ye on this one?

It's the apologies that are the worst of it. Ignore these fannies, I'm certain sales wouldn't be affected in the slightest. now they look like complete crawling saps.

The lad in the comments makes a fair point, give them away by way of an apology

Haven't these tits ever heard the expression 'you can't please everyone'? It's fairly solid. The internet has the gaff fuckin' wrecked lads.

I'm certain sales wouldn't be affected in the slightest.

A bold claim. So you think the business is not acting in what they perceive to be their best business interests? Btw, Ireland and, notably, Northern Ireland are presumably important enough markets for them to care about.

[Caomhaoin]

I do believe they are, but that belief is misguided. Who do you know who would change their mind about buying that scoop because of the logo on the can? I can't think of a single person.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I can't think of a single person.

 

It's settled then! I guess this is what happens when your notion of statistics is derived from Fox News? A special edition IRELAND beer from a UK company that literally can't be marketed to half the population of the part of Ireland that is in the UK? Yeah, that's a massive fucking business fuck up.

[Caomhaoin]

Whatever man. I mean imagine the outrage in Crossmaglen when thirsty punters see those cans!

[Kunt 4 Life]

If they had a design of Ireland without Northern Ireland in it, would that not make Brits happy?
I'm sure big Jim Alister would have a big hard on over that.

[Caomhaoin]

Wow. So this is Christmas now? Vile.

That is about the most banal Christmas consumerism advertisement imaginable, apart from one lad getting dressed up as a girl in it. No wonder it's only gotten 8k views in over a month.

Suppose it'd be too much to hope that it's the consumerism you find vile

[Caomhaoin]

Partly yes. Don't mind exercising, get pissed, fuck Jesus (but not you'll note,any other deity at Hanukkah or Muslim festivals) as they are out of bounds) eat a lash of cake. Pandering to the gays etc.

Christmas lost whatever meaning it had to most of us a long time ago, but this ad pissed me off. THE MESSAGE is the new Jesus.

I see Eddie izzard failed at his attempt to become a councillor in Sheffield.
But I see he's going back to boy mode to play a bloke in a film.

Remember that episode of the Simpsons when the advertising hoardings came to life? That's the way to treat that stuff
