As I sat lookin' up the Guinness ad I could never figure out

That's the one, the add for the ages.
There was another boat add, from Murphy's stout, rowing a barrel on a boat up the Liffey into the heart of Dublin. Taking it to the enemy!!

Holy f**k! 😮

Is there a better example of the casual, oblivious racism of our youths than that ad? I remember liking that ad. And I'd say most of us didn't bat an eyelid at the time.
