I switch channel when I see a tui ad because I am scared the ad will show up again in the next ad break. I don't want my brothers (9 & 14 years old) and my 6 year old sister seeing those ads & I hate watching those ads myself. They make me grumpy. <BR/><BR/>Student_Still, count me as another 20-something female boycotting Tui permanently. <BR/><BR/>The other beer ads on TV are aimed at guys too, and also often use women's bodies as ways to 'sell' the product to men - but none do this as blatantly as Tui. <BR/><BR/>Amelia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-90461994602838159142009-03-10T13:17:00.000+13:002009-03-10T13:17:00.000+13:00"So are the ads trying to say that beer brewed tas..."So are the ads trying to say that beer brewed tastes better when it's made by women in short shorts?"<BR/><BR/>The beer is brewed in their shorts? Gives a new meaning to yeast infection.<BR/><BR/>Alright, I jest!<BR/><BR/>I know women can't take this advertising seriously, but unfortunately for Tui, any publicity is good publicity. Put up a stupid "Yeah Right" billboard and suffer the consequences AFTER they get on the news. <BR/><BR/>Anyone else appreciate the delicious irony that a gentleman of the other persuasion harps on about the "goooorgeous women" in the voice over? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-60700630052888607812009-03-09T23:17:00.000+13:002009-03-09T23:17:00.000+13:00Yes, it does taste better.Yes, it does taste better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-14902424634278612542009-03-09T21:40:00.000+13:002009-03-09T21:40:00.000+13:00Well I seem to have hit a nerve here...So are the ...Well I seem to have hit a nerve here...<BR/><BR/>So are the ads trying to say that beer brewed tastes better when it's made by women in short shorts?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08977150346842277994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-90672453913601152102009-03-09T11:27:00.000+13:002009-03-09T11:27:00.000+13:00I prefer to buy speights lol... and its advertisin...I prefer to buy speights lol... and its advertising is focused at men, so dunno what that says, other than the fact that I am a southlander and we drink speights.Azlemedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09817866704889651040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-53374782116213997862009-03-09T10:26:00.000+13:002009-03-09T10:26:00.000+13:00I have been boycotting Tui, in principle, for some...I have been boycotting Tui, in principle, for some time now. I know one twenty something female refusing to buy Tui means nothing in terms of sales, but at least I don't feel all dirty and used and soiled inside. Something the Tui models must have to grapple with everyday.
