So Hip It Hurts—”Toronto’s best skate shop!!”—woos the local sk8tr boyzzz and girrrlz with blood and and teeth and bloody hair (what, no intestines?) and the promise of booze. This chick wouldn’t be seen dead there. Even lazier than the visuals is the headlines. The only ad of interest is the “80 proof malt liquor” one (malt liquor really comes in 80 proof?): They’re offering a “free shot” with a purchase over 80 bucks. A fucking shot? That’s it? For 80 bucks, I think a small bottle, at least, is warranted. Btw, the shop’s gallery of “famous friends” includes the dope Adam Sandler. Agency Saatchi & Saatchi, Toronto. |Images via: AOTW|

So… This is 'copyranter's' whole schtick? he finds ads and writes 40 words about them in a dessicated, complaining Andy Rooney voice? That's… well not even underwhelming. Sort of nonwhelming.
Yeah, that's pretty much it, though more of an Irish accent voice. Please give me a suggestion for another way to write about ads that suck fucking dick, and aren't worth more than 40 words of my time.
No, malt liquor does not come in 80-proof varieties.
I don't think the second ad is too bad. And hell, if I got a free shot every time I spent $80 on something (the heating bill, sneakers, monthly MetroCard), I'd be happy as hell.
When will we learn that Toronto does not matter///
