the MD of Marston's was right, clearly. The ultimate beer name for some in the UK would have to Knackered Old Cripple Cock - god knows what the clip would be mind.
Well Fawny, could you please have a word with your mate Nobby and tell him this pumpclip is vile and it's an insult to all those trying to raise the profile of good beer.
And don't you dare offer the "it's just a larf innit?" defence.
I'm looking at this through my fingers ...
ReplyDeleteKind of inevitable. We're 18 months max away from a beer called "A Man With His Cock Out". The pumpclip will not feature fowl of any kind.

ReplyDeleteUrggh, it gets worse, they use Comic Sans: www.nobbysbrewery.co.uk/images/availablebeers.pdf
ReplyDeleteOh dear god. I didn't see it at first. Oh god, no. Now I have to scrub my my eyes. And my brain.
ReplyDeleteI think you can safely close the web site down now - you'll not top that one.
ReplyDeleteI feel a letter of complaint to Leicester CAMRA is on its way for printing this image in the beer festival programme.
ReplyDeleteI fail to see the problem. Nobby and his beers are great.
ReplyDeleteWell Anonymous (why the anonymous comment if you believe in your views?) why does Nobby hide good beer behind such a grim label?
ReplyDeleteDon't understand the problem with this. Please tell me exactly what the issue is here. I know Nobby, that's his nickname, his beers are great.
ReplyDeleteIt's the fanny, Fawny.
ReplyDeleteHave to admit, I didn't notice the pubes myself. Always shocked at how innocent I am :P
ReplyDeletetruly offensive.

First time I looked at it, I thought it was a close up of someone's head, then I looked closely. OMFG, pass the wire brush and Dettol...
ReplyDeleteMy eyes!
ReplyDeleteI will indeed ask Nobby, funny though for something so "offensive" to some of you, you had to look REALLY CAREFULLY to see it.......
ReplyDeleteFawny: Mate, it's shit. Maybe the beer's great, but the clip's just shit. That's the problem. See?
ReplyDeleteNobby's beers are forgettable so I'm sure the intention behind this shit pumpclip was to create something "memorable".
ReplyDeleteIt's only a Fanny peeps. I belive over half the population have one
ReplyDeleteThe Flasher's Defence.
ReplyDeletePut it away, Matthew: nobody wants to see your winkie, regardless of what proportion of the population have one.
