Absolutely. One of Adam Curtis's docs covered the roots of all of this in the US when Marking types were sold on Freud's theories and basically came up with modern  consumer culture that depends on feeding discontent amongst the populace.

Encountered these in the snack aisle today:

Haha, fair play. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the snack out of thine own gob.

I wonder if they sell them in airports.

And then something happened which no one expected.

A low level tracking shot of someone walking with Snap's The Power playing OR slow-mo with Yello's Oh Yeah playing is what impresses people in videos. Everything else is a waste of time.

Day Bow Bow is one of the best songs ever made and i'll not have a bad word against it. It should be used in every single advert ever because its so sexy sounding and makes things look sexy because of the sexy music.

The phrase 'best bits'. The word 'highlights' exists so we don't have to act like we're asking a toddler which parts of their cake they're going to eat.

We have Big Brother (the TV show, not the hero of 1984) to thank for that I think. That's what they called the montage of a freshly evicted contestant's, er, highlights that they'd play after Davina McCall had interviewed them, and it's kind of stuck around.

"The highlights of this cake are the cream and the jam more so than the sponge". Doesn't work. For cunts.

Warrior being a high alpha, low beta hop used for bittering only and contributing essentially fuck all flavour or aroma to the beer. It could be magnum and it wouldn't make a difference. Presumably the citra/cascade combination (what is this, 2012?) are used at the business end of the boil or hop standing/dry hopping. Using a bittering hop in an American IPA is a bit 2012 and all, it's all about the theoretical 0 IBU hopstand beer with the hopback stage these days, grandad.

Adding "warrior" to the label just shows you haven't a scooby what you are doing re: beermaking. Presumably it was done by marketing people which only irritates me further. An additional reason not to buy this, from your friendly neighbourhood CaB beer twat.

Edit: missing a word. Idiot. Tired and grumpy.

The name of the beer with the red box is a bit problematic isn't it?


Chollis

Very problematic, let's make it go viral and get them cancelled and graved

The most egregious phrase on that page listing the beers is 'PINEAPPLE HEFEWEIZEN'

you can't put a woman's name on a beer. that's disgusting.

Showing off about my out-of-touchness again, but what does 'Sliding into the DMs' even mean? Is it the Twitter equivalent of telling someone to take it outside?

Those beers sound absolutely disgusting, by the way. I'm sure they're as awful as the names suggest.

It is when someone takes a public conversation private by DMing someone, usually because you fancy them

That is certainly the only reason I get DMs on CaB

It's that saying "What flavour would you like?" and then replying with the name of that particular beer seems a bit tasteless to me. Perhaps problematic is the wrong word.
