Not ADD, as it's all too easy to get distracted with the plethora of interesting reading here. :grin:

I hadn't seen all of these before, so thanks for posting them. As I've said before, if Lawson's would run their ads in the US, I'm sure they'd be pleased with the response.

Well,

As great as it is that these adds feature kilts - I must say that my interest in a brand of scotch is not going to be swayed by a shirtless lad in various 'JC Penny Catalog' poses....

Sorry, I have to say nay.....

I doubt I'd ever buy the Scotch just because a well-muscled shirtless guy is in it. I care for quality not advertising.

But there are two of those that disturb me.

First,

I'm not sure how throwing either a woman or a female mannequin end of end is supposed to make me want to drink scotch. Although if the young female were switched with a mother-in-law, and there was a cliff nearby I'd bet plenty of men would be willing to try a toss. ;)

Second,

Just what exactly is he planning on doing to that cow once he blindfolds it with the kilt?!?!?!
