The Dos Equis “World’s Most Interesting Man” ad just ran a minute ago. This time I had to pause it, back it up and re-watch one scene. It was one of those “the lawyers made us do it though it makes no sense” moments.
As the goggled and leather helmeted WMIM sits in a kayak ready to slide out the rear ramp of an airborne C130 (or similar) the following text comes on the screen: “Do not attempt.”
Wow. Thanks guys. You’ve made my life that much easier.
And just as I was going to rent the plane!
That’s nothing. The best one is the ad for the stomach banding (for weight loss) that warns that you have to go to the doctor to have it done.
Yeah, like we’re all planning do-it-yourself surgery….. sigh.
There’s a whole website somewhere dedicated to these sorts of things. I’ll look for it…
Obligatory….

Hey Geoff, is it true that there can be a little White Stuff on Thurs. Night Can I say it ? Can I huh Can I Can I oh please can I say it, SNOW !!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m trying to envision the lawsuit where someone sues the marketer on the premise that they saw somebody do something that crazy in a commercial. I don’t think that would “fly”- and if it could fly, I don’t think “DO NOT ATTEMPT” would be the defense.
