What a waste of time story. This guy needs to get a life, why do some people think they have to “save” everyone from everything? For crying out loud it’s just an ad…there are much more important issues in sports than beer ads.

Can anyone not see that Big Brother is becoming more and more involved in our lives? Granted this is the NCAA imposing these “limits” on beer ads, but it’s becoming more apparent of late. For example, this new Jared’s law that just went into effect. Jared was a kid who was killed when a lunch table collapsed onto him. Not degrading him in any sort of way, but they passed a law in his honor putting more restrictions in school. For instance, teachers can no longer have bottled waters in

So I was sitting there watching the game thinking to myself that something was missing. Then a beer commercial came on. As the lightbulb went off in my head, I ran to the fridge to grab a beer. I drank it and got another and another and another. A case later, I started on the booze. Once that was gone, I smoked a little weed. I moved on the coke and then heroin. After they were gone, I had to drive to find some crack. NCAA is a gateway drug (sarcasism). Love, me from rehab.

This is waste of a story. No one (including and especially college students) cares about beer commercials. Cutting ad’s will not matter one bit. If you’ll recall when we were in college most likely you had a beer or two in the parking lot before you went into the game. Kids are going to drink with or without the commercials. This article is pretty weak. But at least the posts are worth while.

If anyone, including college presidents thinks that these ads being pulled will curtail drinking they are crazy. How about using the beer ads for purpose? Have some testimonials from those who have seen people killed by drunk drivers, binge drinking, etc. have a responsible drinking message as part of the ads.

The ads are not the problem….they can be used wisely to send a strong message. The beer companies would comply…..believe me.

I agree. Dumb story. If college kids are killing themselves binge drinking it has NOTHING to do with beer ads on TV.

What a waste of my time reading this story. Marc, do you ever have a beer? Did you drink in college? It’s tiring to hear every journalist hop on board these boring stories. Please stick to writing about sports…a topic the DDN doesn’t even seem to actually like. Maybe then I can find a story about the Reds before the third page.
