Resolved Question: American Airlines advert, hall of shame for recent advertising?

I saw an advert for American airlines the other nite on telly. Their slogan was, at the end, 'we know why you fly.' Well, mate, I dont know bout you, but the reason i fly is cos that's about the only way to get from A to B across the ocean, unless you like a long boat ride. I mean, what are they suggesting? that people fly so they can s*ag in the public toilets, or flirt with some cabin crew who never look as hot at they do in the adverts, or cos they love being sardined in between people for hours? f*cks sake, and these people work for major ad agencies. Do you think this is a good slogan, or do you agree it qualifies for the top ten most laughable of all time? x more

Resolved Question: Vintage 'Guiness is Good For You' signs in pubs: illegal?

I have noticed a few pubs have antique adverts up (y'know them metal plate things) with the 'Guiness is Good For You' slogan. I'm pretty sure they couldn't use that slogan nowadays, cos it's, well, not really that good for you. So... is it legal for pubs to have these signs given that they're memorabilia of sorts, or could you accuse them of false advertising?Thanks for answers so far. As the link Willis Jeffords posted shows, it *has* been deemed illegal for Guinness to use this slogan in current advertising. What do people think about the issue of them being antique signs? more
