Thant Sam Adams commercial "Skunky"

[tomlivings]

Doesnt it just kind of annoy you that the Sam Adams commercial thats on tv right now says: "Ever had a skunky beer?"
WTF, I dont know, I already know I sound like an anal ***** just to even raise the issue, but it sounds like they watered down the description "Skunked" by committee. I can see the ad agency boardroom discussion; "'my beer is skunked', no, I think our demographic would not appreciate the possible marijuhana reference and our potential market share like their words to end in a 'y'. Lets go with 'skunk-y'. Do I hear a whoop-high five people?..."

I dont know why it annoys me. My wife could cheat on me and it wouldnt annoy me. Im the most difficult to annoy person ever. But there's something so f**king smarmy about the way the prick on the voice-over says it. "Ever had a skunky beer?"...meh.
Rant over. Im drunk.

Not everyone is a brewer or in to beer and don't know that "skunked" is a common term in the industry. They do know that their Heineken, Corona, Yuengling, etc tasted "kind of skunky" though.
