Got your attention? Well, sorry to be a tease, but it has nothing to do with the artist of the same name.

SHAG beer, a recent import into Australia (never seen it!) is going to be pulled from the market. Its advertising apparently featured a bottle on a table, with the title "on the table" and underneath had the caption "Fancy a shag?", plus the comical drawing of a "shag" bird on the label was marketed too directly at kids. Deemed too offensive and will be pulled from the market.

I didn't know Tiki Bong was in advertising!

There's a Japanese gum called "Comming" and a Norwegian lager named "Aass".

(I had so much Aass last night, I had to call in sick...I need to rehydrate)

It's like shopping for a bachlor party.

I like the name Hoegaarden, sounds naughty.
Also like the beer...yum!
