that carling advert that comes up at half time with a bunch of mates an an island and they see a sailing ship , and one mate is missing

the first few times I saw it , I'm sure he used to shout that he's found a coconut

the last few times , the missing friend says he's found a stick

Have I dreamt the coconut bit or have carling changed a coconut for a stick and what is the reason for the change ?

Thought exactly the same mate, tried to decide if it was in any way deemed as racist

Haven't seen the changed one but it definitely was a coconut. I know because the other guy says "that's all we need, another coconut" or something like that.

Can't think why they would change it

Coconut is a racist word..

It means brown on the outside, but white on the inside. Calling someone (particularly a Hispanic) a "coconut" is the same as calling an African-American an "oreo."

Democrats use it to describe any Hispanic who is not a brown supremacist or supporter of illegal aliens. It's like when Democrats call Asians "bananas" and "Twinkies" or call blacks "Oreos" and "Uncle Toms."

They are the only 2 things i found out about it. Bound to be some person complaining.. Like the Virgin advert,, that got loads.. From sad old fat frumpy women, getting peed off with the other half, being more into the ad than talking to her.

Just incase you have forgot...

The wife couldnt even work out why he got all excited about the ships light being on till I explained it, FFS people its an advert lol....
Admittedly for a fantastic lager that makes Fridays fun and the weekend begin.

24 hours in a day and 24 cans in a case, coincidence???? I think not lol......

It's piss water mate, we cant brew lager in the UK. Only drink imported beers, now Ale is another matter, we rule the world in Ale. As far as I'm concerened all lager brewed in UK comes from the same metal Pot in Luton
