‘Excuse Me Bartender, My Coaster’s Drunk.’

fosterscoaster And you thought yesterday’s Nikon flashbulb billboard was annoying. How ’bout being taught a social lesson by a fucking beer coaster? As part of their “Corporate Social Responsibility” campaign, SABMiller India (Foster’s distributor) somehow convinced 40+ bars and restaurants in Indian cities to hand out these infuriating magnetic coasters to patrons with their Foster’s rounds. When you tried to place your mug (which had an opposite-polarity magnet in the base) on the sports car coaster, it slid away. Then, after maybe freaking out and spilling your beer, and if you were observant, you noticed the “Drinking & driving don’t mix” message on the mug. Haha, you got me Foster’s. Now, I think I’ll order something else for my second round. A Cannes Bronze Lion winner, btw. Jump for the video stupidity from the campaign.
