This article is so wrong I don't even know where to begin:
DRINKS companies have been ordered to hire uglier men for their advertisements in Britain, to avoid suggesting there is a link between boozing and sexual success.
Men who star in alcohol ads that target women should be "balding" and "paunchy" rather than "attractive and desirable", according to guidance issued by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
Come on, balding, paunchy men have "inner" beauty....
The new advertising code, launched last month, stresses that "links must not be made between alcohol and seduction, sexual activity of sexual success".
Please mummy, make the bad man stop!
Check out the catty reply from the company responsible for the ad, though:
"Perhaps the ASA people should take a look in the mirror before they decide they've got the rulebook on sexual prowess."
Ooh....ZING!!!

After you drink the booze, of course.
