“Pro-Sex-But-Not” Exhibit A: The Video That’s Turning on a Nation
Is this Devassa Bem Loura beer ad controversial in your opinion? Through my nubile eyes, this is obviously what happens when an entire city takes ecstasy all at the same time. It starts with voyeuristic visions of a beautiful woman dancing in a high rise, and is followed by the slow crescendo of a glitzy big band ensemble that seems to be coming from nowhere and everywhere at once.

However, I’m not exactly sure what they intend on doing with this six minute long film unless airing six minute commercials in London is common or they are planning to spend $36 million for a slot in the Super Bowl.
I’m gonna assume that this is Sidney Crosby pouring Veuve Clicquot into the Stanley Cup. On a similar note, I’ve turned my college diploma in its gatefold frame into a Jagermeister booze luge for one, HIYO!
It appears I lied when I said that the Stripper Beer Pong post was the only post on the countdown that included strippers (thanks Tiger!). The #4 most viewed Mutineer blog post of 2009 also includes magical fine beverage moments with Michael Jordan, Sidney Crosby, and bubbles-fearing Boston Red Sox team.Continue Reading »
