Springhead "Rupert's Ruin"
As Rupert Murdoch has been in the news just a bit recently, a bit of topical newspaper-magnate baiting would be understandable. But no, what do we have here? Rupert Bear.
So what's it trying to say? The much-loved children's character Rupert Bear was afflicted by alcoholism, particularly a fondness for Springhead's beer?
Perhaps we are supposed to "geddit".
"Rupert eh, you think we mean the bear, but really it's Murdoch. Hur hur snurfle snurfle."

Nah, it's just bollocks.
worse, it's Prince Rupert. Kept the name, did a rebrand. WTF
ReplyDeletewell seeing as though this beer's been out ages its not going to have anything to do with the Murdoch disaster is it?
