Okay... at least JS wore a wee pirate hat which is more than we can say for Gavin Rossdale, but I still find myself a little disappointed with the khakis and t-shirt. #jonstewart
@T_Bee: "at least JS wore a wee pirate hat which is more than we can say for Gavin Rossdale"
This was my exact first thought too! Then I wondered if his wife and kids forced it on him! It looks like a "We are all dressed up, at least put on the freakin' pirate hat!" last minute effort.
I give him points for it though. It is better than nothing. #jonstewart
@BlondeGoddess: Yes, please! If I see one more picture of an adorable family with great costumes where the dad is not trying at all....I will continue to be bummed out. And I will have to give Seal some kind of lifetime achievement award. #jonstewart
@sara-without-an-h: Have you never gone trick-or-treating?? Halloween is probably one of the best holidays as a kid & a different kind of fun when you are older - a drunk kind of fun. #jonstewart
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: I did do it once, but as a baby sitter. It was fun, but I suspect you have to grow up with it to understand the true allure of limitless supplies of jawbreakers. The adults, of course, all wanted to "sacrifice" themselves and go with the kids, hence my comment. #jonstewart
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: I also remember one curmudgeon who handed out toothbrushes. A funny lady refused to give sweets unless the kids answered history questions, saying you need to deserve treats. Not knowing I wasn't American, she then smiled at me and asked me when Lincoln was assassinated. I had no clue. She shooed us out in outrage. #jonstewart
Fun times in the Australian beer industry: Coopers, the last major Australian-owned brewery, beloved by we lefty types for its independence (and also its Pale Ale) is running ads for its tapas bar at the Sydney International Food Festival. The slogan on one ad reads: "Extra virgin - made from the ugliest olives in the orchard."
Yes, I'm writing a shitty email to them on Monday morning. #snowwhiteliquorad
@curtice: My friend has this poster! It is so creepy and I hate it a lot. I have no real attachment to Disney characters, but the art is so... aggressive? I can't describe it! It skeeves me out! #snowwhiteliquorad
Well if they are marketing at old men into group sex I think they are fine. Nothing about that makes me want to drink their beer. Look ladies, you wake up in bed with multiple short Hugh Hefner's..kinky. #snowwhiteliquorad
@BabyJane: That's just cause he's on the outer edge of the bed. The ones in the center look pretty - uh - contented or already asleep. #snowwhiteliquorad
I hate Snow White, so I find it funny for that reason. But yes, it's stupid and offensive--LOL UR A HO!--and probably cooked up by a roomful of drunk frat boys ad execs.
And nothing is scarier than The Mouse's team of lawyers when they're on a roll. #snowwhiteliquorad
@BeckySharper: The ad doesn't actually call her a ho, it calls her "anything but sweet." Ad freak slut shames a lot more than the actual ad. #snowwhiteliquorad

@Lizard in the Wires is on Rails: But the picture speaks a thousand words, doesn't it? The whole premise is using a slutty-looking woman in order to sell beer. In this case they're playing with the whole virgin-whore idea, but at base it's still just typical chauvinist badvertising.... #snowwhiteliquorad
@BeckySharper: I can see that. I guess I was thinking about it through how I see it which is she looks like she had a good time, and not how a guy might see it. I like that she's shown as clearly having her own agency however. The fact that they made it damn clear that there was consent.
But, I give it props for at least being semi-creative. Most beers ads (except for Blue Moon and Magic Hat, props) tend to be
Tits + Beer + ??? = fabulous life full of tits and beer forever.
Either way I'm sure the Disney lawyers are going to make them wish they were never born.

I'm mostly offended by how uncreative it is. Slutty fairy tales have been done and done and overdone.
If it were me, I would retool it as "Bro White" and feature a guy in a red baseball cap playing x box with a bunch of dwarves on the floor of a filthy house with empty bottles laying all over the place. And they're all eating pizza. #snowwhiteliquorad
@morninggloria: It's like the ad version of Slutoween! Next up: Cinderella's fairy godmother brings her a slutty nurse outfit for the ball! #snowwhiteliquorad

This pales in comparison to Paul Krassner's infamous "Disneyland Memorial Orgy" print from 1966. #snowwhiteliquorad

Maybe she's just a lady who likes kinky, multiple-partner dwarf sex. #snowwhiteliquorad
