Every day I scour through who knows how many ads. And for every one that I fall in love with there has to be at least 10 I could have done without seeing. So there are times when re-stumbling upon an older ad that once made me cry from laughter, makes me remember why I truly love advertising. I was sent a link to an ad for Australia’s Carlton Draught Beer yesterday. It’s a couple years old now, but nonetheless hysterical. How can you go wrong with a beer version of “Flashdance” with a beer-gutted, rhythmically challenge gentleman? I made the decision that it was important to share this with all of you. It’s almost the weekend and this should be a good, hearty laugh to start it off. Enjoy!
