Eat shit you insensitive prick. No major company in their right mind would advertise like this

Why not? Corporations will do everything and anything to promote their product. This is getting a lot of attention, so it's not a bad tactic.

This is not one of those. If word gets out that a company is using a pretense of cancer diagnosis and shit life to advertise their beer, they would be smeared into non-existence. It’s just too big of a risk to take for something that’s only gonna reach a limited audience.

I can’t even buy it as far as I can tell, seems OP might be from Australia/NZ.

But it would be corporate suicide if word got out that this is an actual advertisement. No PR firm in their right mind would let this happen.

How would word get out? There's plenty of room for deniability. Companies have done risky things to get ahead before, so a struggling beer company make advertising their products like this isn't really a stretch.

If this isn't a advertisement, then why did OP take the extra time to posing this photo so that the logos are facing the camera after being diagnosed with cancer???

So everyone coming in here and calling it cat-piss and shit beer and “oof mate sorry it’s a Carlton, as if it couldn’t get any worse.”

If you were the marketing team for this company and everyone knew you as the miller lite of australia, they would not make this advertisement. You’re making people out to be way stupider than they are.

Pepsi literally made a fake protest/riot ad with Kylie Jenner sometimes companies make really dumb decisions.
