It is an entirely appropriate advertisement as well, because after all I don’t think any Irish person would argue that “heavy drinker” stereotype attached to the Irish is false. Attaching a stereotype of this kind is a safe advertisement and claim, as opposed to some other stereotypes, and that is why I think this is a successful advertisement as well, Yates.HBAllen.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12675470050035533689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482334522317166609.post-41709938357661308272012-08-06T08:04:30.998-07:002012-08-06T08:04:30.998-07:00I agree that this ad is clever.

Perhaps thats because America is a much larger country, with many more demographics who have different sentiments about drinking. In Ireland, since they are a small country with a less diverse population, ads like this can fly. And hey, they are great ads. I agree with Teresa that they are embracing a staple of their country. Its a matter of pride, and Jameson is one of their biggest brands.

This may not help the stereotype at all, but it certainly does shed light on the fact that they embrace it. I think for them to have an advertisement like this shows the pride in their country and their home brand of whiskey. The slogan is really catchy as well, and for me it does not serve a purpose as a negative ad - it's probably quite normal for an Irish person to see a clever Jameson ad.Teresa Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720368215524909255noreply@blogger.com
