Am I the only one that sees kneecaps?

I can see what is left of them, but I think they put a extra heavy layer of Photoshop on top of them. I do not know why you even start with a real model if you are going to be that heavy handed with the picture editing.

I agree it was over done a tad but I think that goes more into the bad editing folder than the anti kneecap folder. If they really wanted to eliminate her knees they didn't try very hard. The angle and lighting is also to blame in combination with bad editing. It's just shoddy work, not an anti knee conspiracy IMO.

Wow, unreal!! I can't believe they would actually endorse this advertisement. I've always preferred Grey Goose, and now I can see why!

I shall curb my rant then and not let my knee fetish get the better of me. Backs of knees though... drooollll

I see your Dane Cook & raise you George Carlin.

People will say "you can't joke about rape. Rape's not funny." I say "fuck you, I think it's hilarious! How do you like that? I can prove to you that rape is funny. Picture Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd."

I just laughed so hard, soda literally came out my nose. It hurts. But it's so funny. BUT IT HURTS.

I dunno... I didn't immediately get the context from the ad that everyone else is getting. Even still I don't think it's a very good ad but to me it makes very little sense. Maybe I just fail. Luckily it doesn't matter that I didn't "get it" since I don't drink anyhow.

Well what context did you get? I looked at this for quite a while trying to think of an alternative meaning of the words and picture together and I just can't.

Being that someone "going down" is a widely-known euphemism for oral sex, and doesn't have any other meaning without further context (ie going down to someplace), going down the stairs etc), and then combining that with a visual of a young man sitting on a couch, with a leering grin, seemingly attempting to restrain a young woman with a panicked/shocked/scared look on her face.

They could have showed the woman slapping the guy in outrage and the context would have been different, I just don't see an alternative scenario here than attempted rape - but I would love to hear one.

I had trouble understanding it at first. That kind of behavior is so alien to me that I did not realize what they were trying to say at first. It was shocking once I did that anyone thought that ad was appropriate.

At least to me, while I get the oral reference, the immediate jump to [cue thunder noises] "ATTEMPTED RAPE" is a bit much. Yes, the ad is a definite fail, but at least in my initial contextual view thought more BF/GF or hubby/wife and she, like so many girls, don't really like to go down and keep it as a "treat" instead of the norm routine. Now we can I suppose, get into the discussion of all that but it really has little to do with how smoothly a shot of liquor may or may not go down and how many guys wish their gal would uber enjoy giving them oral. :confusion-shrug:

I think the big problem here is that the picture doesn't match the tagline. If it were say...A pic of a guy sitting down and pointing at his crotch with a leering grin while a woman looks at him with a disgusted/angry/no-way-in-hell type of face it would be much less offensive. But since the picture looks like she was trying to get away and he grabbed her...The tagline almost suggests that the moment he's got her restrained there's going to be some hair pulling and face fucking in the not sexy way.

Right, I searched for that context too when I first looked at the image but I can't find that when I look at the pic - she's trying to leave, alarmed, and he's grinning and holding her back. Nothing there suggests she's a gf who just doesn't like giving head. Though I think it would have been a far more effective campaign, and a little amusing (if mostly to guys), if it HAD centered around a guy and his girl who didn't feel like giving oral (or the reverse, I'm sure plenty of guys don't go down as much as their women would like).
