As they say in Jamaica: Rahtid!

Yes

So the people who make Coleman's mustard make wine? Errr....

[zhukora1.livejournal.com]

What the hell's in that stuff? Speed?

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Beef extract. Honest.

Did they just slap a doo-rag and a blouse on the guy drawing and call it a day?

That icon makes me head spin.

It makes my chest hurt, in sympathy.

ikr? It's a week later and she's still rocking the green shirt and yellow hankie!

If it is wine, is it alcoholic? This ad on the heels of the last ad almost suggest that the UK was trying to keep the black folk on the drink.

[badgerpdx.livejournal.com]

No kidding. Being an alcoholic is fun and productive! Drink more now! The road to success!

"To alcohol! The cause of--and solution to--all of life's problems!"

[pen-grunt.livejournal.com]

Ja. That was my first thought upon reading, too.

Yes, black folk, drinking wine will HELP you with employment. . . and, also, your masculinity.

And what the heck are they putting in the wine to make it "energizing"? Because that's, uh, not the effect that wine has on ME.

[mystical-chickn.livejournal.com]

I keep reading it as "toxic wine". :/

I had to look this one up.

Wincarnis is golden in colour and smells like warm Christmas pudding. Smooth and warm to drink, its pallet (sic) is smooth and sherry-like. (http://www.itzcaribbean.com/wincarnistonicwine.php)

Rationing the punctuation marks

Is that Billy Dee Williams selling her the wine?

On a lighter note, I'm just happy that they aren't saying, "Lawdy! Dis wine sho am good!"

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Since the wine is being marketed in the West Indies, that approach wouldn't work.

[kikkai.livejournal.com]

Yes - this was basically my first thought (your second). Just happy to not see any of that type of stereotyping.

yes!

[spuzzlightyear.livejournal.com]

Its been awhile since I saw this one.

YES

[puffy-333.livejournal.com]

If I can trust this ad, then I should buy a few bottles of this energizing, masculine-making wine for myself.

Yes

[cactuswren.livejournal.com]

Are they trying to imply about this wine what I think they're trying to imply? That it is, ahem, therapeutic?

Re: Yes

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Yes

I feel like this is a prototype for a current-day Enzyte ad.
