When I glanced at the ads, I originally thought they were reprints of ads from the 70′s. I was astounded to find out that this was some company’s “modern” advertising concept. They strike me as misogynistic and homophobic as well as aimed solely at a white male demographic.
The tagline should be: “Canadian Club! For white men who know women should be treated as objects and gay guys should have the crap beaten out of them!”

Love it! :)
Fantastic! I can’t wait to add it to the rest of the fake ads. You rock!
Love it too…..and the ones by the blogger on the board you link.
Does anyone know where this image is from? When it dates to?
Love that.
If you give me permission I would love to post that.
I like how this image goes beyond reacting to the original ad, especially by rewording the tag line. Master’s tools…
Can we get that poster somewhere? I’d hang it up in my room.
What is the history behind these images? I need to get myself educated.
For anyone who didn’t know where this image was from:
