wow, just ... wow. and pink/stink most likely. the "manliness" of the supposed commercial wouldn't allow for 2 pink.

and no, not a chance in hell of being an official commercial. though if guiness did make it, they got alota balls. 6 at least.

Oh, and it is a fake ad.

From the youtube poster (DESchatz) himself:

It really isn't real. I shot the ad with no intention of sending it to Guiness because of the content. IT was meant to either make people laugh or get really disgusted. I rather people felt the former because that's why it was made. Just for fun.

and

Oh and it only cost $320 for the ad. My equipment, 300 for the actress, and the rest for food and a six pack of Guiness

Kinda funny, but it's the kinda joke you keep to your close buddies, and don't show/tell most chicks. Not worth making a video over or spending money on, even. And just plain old bad taste in designing around the idea.. It would've been hilarious if it had zoomed out and it was two guys all orgasmic over the beer with some plastic manikin with no hands and feet and their clothes on.

Women aren't tables. Downvote.

Memorare, it's not that making sweet love to women is demeaning. It's that casually using them as a table while you do it is.

Then again, if the guiness wasn't there this could never be sifted, it's a conundrum.

So, in Amsterdam all women are used as objects are they? It really isn't the sex that's demeaning, it's not that there is a stout in the ad either, it's that the woman is being used as a table... it is demeaning, it is continuing a trend I've seen of late where online women are being more and more treated as objects... Next time you're having sex with a woman from behind (you know, if it just happens to occur), try resting a drink on her back and see how far that gets you.

Sex can be fun and funny, but treating women like shit isn't either.

Why don't the women stick up for themselves? Odd how you think they need "manly men" to "stick up" for them. Yours is probably one of the most sexist comments on this. I've never seen even one of the regulars on here honestly say anything sexist in anything but jest or for mere shock value.

How about trying to educate us knuckle-draggers and quit the whining. You make yourself annoying, not effective.

To anyone downvoting this or leaving comments that it's somehow demeaning or misogynistic -

Exactly what was it that made you assume the person "in the middle" was female? Or that all of the others were male? I saw no defining characteristics either way. For all any of you know, that could be 4 men, 4 women, or some other combination. What you see is a product of what you believe.

we don't because even if we can tell the difference between jest (rottenseed...) and a real sexist remark, it's not worth it to get in a flame war (i guess we're "learning our place" after all).

you see, on the internets we have been proven not to exist.

as for the video, i give it no vote: i appreciate the humor and the way the shot was put together, but at the same time i'm becoming more and more disgusted at crass objectification in media (of women, of kids, of men, of animals.. basically of everything that isn't an object has managed to have been objectified in a commercial in some form). even if this is indie it's still revealing an acceptance of disrespect that merchants have for their potential customers.

i'm also thinking: yes, yes it could stay on the small of her back while being vibrated...it's the stone in the bottle. it would probably work like the big ball in Taipei 101 until the beer was drained to less than half. not suggesting that stones float here... the guinness "stone" isn't a stone at all in those bottles, it's an oblong weighted piece of plastic.. so it *could* work as long as the lighter end of the oblong plastic was allowed to float. just sayin'.

Really? The ad, regardless of its "authenticity," uses common stereotypes to portray very simple ideas. Most viewers will see the video as it was intended: one woman, three men. This ad is the product of what they want you to believe. And if you didn't see it, then I guess it's unsuccessful, or that "defining characteristics" means something different to you.

I used sexist terms, and I knew I was when I wrote my comment. Using words like "androcentric" don't usually get you far--in fact, they earn you taunts--so I used what language I thought would be most effective in conveying the sentiment of my point.

I was sticking up for myself as a woman by commenting at all--what I meant by my comment is that it is expected for women to stick up for themselves, but damn, it's a shame that men won't stick up for a person when that person's interests are not immediately their own. Are we all really so selfish and unempathetic?

As for being "annoying"--I find this ad, and some of the responses I see to it, highly irritating myself. I'm responding to my own annoyance.

I think the attitudes you show in your reply to my comment and elysse's is a sad case of blaming the wrong group of people because you think we are directly attacking you as a person, since you are male. I am not attacking you as a person; I don't even know you. I am blaming the broad societal attitudes that allow this crap to become popular.

we become "Uppity Bitches" when we do stick up for ourselves!

this is why it's not worth it to even comment about sexism when i see it. it's like trying to teach race equality in a KKK meeting. only right now, at this moment in time (in the states) it feels like the nasty undercurrents of sexism (*and* racism) are getting an opportunity to flourish, and the acceptance that women have spent so many decades fighting for are being taken away at an almost mind-boggling rate... and this type of portrayal adds fuel to the fire.

My first thought was "the physics aren't right". But that is one sexy back, so I'll overlook that point. Also, the third hand looked female at first, but a bit more masculine the second time I looked at it. Can't tell really.

And finally, if that were a guy being used as a table, nobody would have a problem with it. At that point I stop caring. No special treatment, that's equality.

What MaxWilder said. If women truly want equality, then stop getting preferential treatment. Men can be objects and noone cares, but when it's a woman it's suddenly bad? Hypocrisy.

I was taught that women should be treated equally. What's funny is I'm left thinking -- what is this woman's feelings on the matter? You all, the readers here, are placing your own morals on the point. If this were a man OR woman, it changes your point of view. Well, in a truly neutral environment, the only thing that really matters is viewpoint of the "table" involved.

If you really want equality then take YOUR PERSONAL feelings out of the matter (stop trying to empathize with the woman in the video since you have no way to know what she's thinking) and consider that the "table" is a man. If you find you have the same "disgusted" and "objectification" feelings, then at least it's just a sexual deviation you don't like, and not a demeaning video, which in my opinion, is not.

Women have spent countless centures being objects to men. It's part of the primal nature, otherwise we basically would not exist on this planet. The funny thing is that if women truly want to be equals then you really need to take all the sexism in stride ........ you know, like men.

You both are missing the point. The issue isn’t sexual deviance -- and it’s more than objectification. It’s complete degradation.

You’re arguing “it doesn’t matter if women abuse men, so why should this matter?” but that’s arguing equal opportunity abuse. That’s not okay. Degradation is not okay.

If the “table” were MALE, it’s not that “nobody would have a problem”: it’s just that the ad would make fun of misogyny. It would involve retaliation.

You argue that “stop trying to empathize with the woman in the video since you have no way to know what she's thinking” -- and it’s true. She could be having a great time. But the ad deliberately DOESN’T show an ecstatic, liberated woman who loves being fucked in every hole. What you see is three hands taking satisfying swigs. Three hands sharing the beer. That’s what we end with: “Share One with a Friend. Or two.”

The message isn’t “beer is great while having a foursome!” The message is that the woman isn’t just the table: she’s the beer you pass around.

And that’s the message I have a problem with.
