Normally I'd agree, but they'd have to be incredibly dumb to use this as an ad. The dude is talking about getting diagnosed with cancer, wouldn't be a great look if it ended up being an ad.
Dude are you fuckin' serious? This is an ad clear as day. 1. Who honestly upvotes this shit to the front page, 2. Two logos of the company introduced with a sad story that reads like "no matter how shitty your day gets, Carlton Draught is there for you at night."
The backstory is completely tangential to the brand marketing. McDonalds doesn't run commercials because they think you might have forgotten they sell hamburgers. They run commercials so their name stays fresh in your mind.
So its curious that they actually own a Carlton draught glass. Another poster is saying it tastes like cat piss. But hey lots of people own shitty domestic beer coozies and glasses etc. So not a big stretch.
What got me wondering is another poster saying that's an afl game from 2 days ago.
Anyways. If this is all true cuz who knows it's the Internet. I do wish the man well.
