I can just about cope with a chick flick when I've a bottle or two of Duvel.<br /><br />Jeff, I don't think I do see fashonableness as intrinsically bad, and indeed I would be lying if I tried to claim I didn't sometimes enjoy joining in with fashion occasionally. For some people it is extremely important to them and brings them great pleasure, in this case it is intrinsically good for the person, providing they can afford it.<br /><br />It is merely a case of an apparent situation where women are more interested in fashion and men more interested in beer. Is this intrinsically bad? I don't think so.<br /><br />Mudge, indeed, a good point. Advertising is always going to be aimed at a target demographic. If we followed through the determination to make all things asexual then we would not have aftershave and perfume, that could make dating interesting because our sexual attraction is influenced by aroma - we wouldn't know who to hit on.<br /><br />Incidentally, I have it on good authority that mens razors are much better quality than the brightly coloured feminine brands, even by the same manufacturer, work that one out.

It means that half the popualtion are free from being brainwashed into buying their "liquid". Maybe the girly mates in this Ad will settle down to watch a chick flick with a few bottles of Duvel while their partners discuss the best brand of hair straightners in their man-fridge?Stuart Howehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06824861810753081932noreply@blogger.com
