McGregor beer ad banned

The Irish state broadcaster banned his beer ad because they reckon that McGregor has a lot of young fans and that this beer ad constitutes advertising alcohol to minors.

The Irish media really have it in for him.

 

[Davey Crockett]

Of course. The youngsters of Ireland are permitted to Guinness only.

Conor is a terrible role model

 

[dragonsfly]

Alcohol is considered heritage in Ireland

those fuckers already drink enough bud anyways...first time i went i was fucking horrified everyone out was drinking goddamned budweisers.

 

[KONE]

They can still play his EA UFC 2 commercial at least

One... Choo... Tree... Foah...

CHURDEEN SECONDS IS MOY FASTEST KNOCKOUT. WHAT ARE YOU WAITIN FOR? FINISH IT

They should avoid drinking inefficiently.

 

[Fatal Catro]

Budweiser is quite an offensive beer.
Especially to my taste buds.

 

[Judge Lance Ito]

When I saw that ad first I thought it was going to be about young people's mental health support or someshit

Couldn't fucking believe it when Budweiser flashed up on the screen

 

[Mr Moist]

That's ok Coke can sponsor him now

 

[Sgt Smith]

They should avoid drinking inefficiently.

Which is why they should drink craft beer instead of macros.

 

[Judge Lance Ito]

It's a good move banning that ad.
While I'm usually not in favour of censorship, it seems to endorse Budweiser having something to do with a rags to riches story.

And besides that, Conor is a fucking scumbag. A serious fucking.scumbag.
I'm Irish and I'm horrified by his attitude. He's a little scrote and I'm still high from the Nate Diaz fight

Instead of looking to commercials, look to a culture that has basically celebrated it's alcoholism for years on end. The one day of the year where Irish Culture is globally celebrated, people drink.

I don't mind Budweiser. Not my favourite, but it's cheap and gets the job done on a night out. No-one in the club drinking Leffe

 

[Air Lats]

I don't mind Budweiser. Not my favourite, but it's cheap and gets the job done on a night out. No-one in the club drinking Leffe

That should be Budweiser's tag line.

'We don't have to be your favorite but we're cheap and get the job done.'

Budweiser is quite an offensive beer.
Especially to my taste buds.

You just got to drink it in the right situation. On a hot day at the lake pounding whisky shots all day you need a light shit beer to help pace yourself. Otherwise you end up wasted in a potential sh!t show.

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

Yes, because nobody in Ireland has drank before they were of age.

It's hard to think of any other country, let alone a very small country like Ireland, whose culture is celebrated globally once a year. If Bastille Day were a global celebration, I'm sure people would drink wine, and if Russia Day were globally celebrated, people would probably drink a lot of vodka.

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

best alcohol commercial ever.

 

[The Beast Within]

Conor is a terrible role model

yea better be some haters on the internet and not someone that accomplished being champion
