Hardly. http://175proof.com/beer-commercials/six-of-the-best%e2%80%a6-beer-ads-hardly/ http://175proof.com/beer-commercials/six-of-the-best%e2%80%a6-beer-ads-hardly/#comments Tue, 01 Sep 2009 05:03:57 +0000 admin http://175proof.com/?p=635 So someone pointed me to this article which mentions six of the ‘best’ beer ads. Disappointing to say the least, even if you argue that creative preference is personal and subjective. I guess its the claim that I took issue with: ‘Once again Media has scoured the world for the best ads on a particular theme.’ Just look at the comments and you’ll see I’m not alone with this point of view. C’mon Media, you gotta do better than that.  Readers, you be the judge if these below ads that have been singled out by the article really deserve Hall of Fame status. No, they’re not horrible, but neither are they the ‘best’. Maybe the Carlton Flashbeer one. Maybe. Oh and I left out a North Korean beer ad that we’ve featured in a previous post. That’s interesting but hardly championship material either.
