That’s a good film but I’m confused about where it’s come from. It say ‘Egard’ at the end-they’re a watch company, no?

Have you seen De Santis freedom heavy ad that spoofs Bud light.

sorry forgot the link

Wow an advert saying it like it is. Cripes (they will get a massive pile on, surely)

Will look for that one next, Reese

I saw that earlier. Thought it was fantastic!

@BernardBlacksMolluscs Egard have made other adverts on this theme, like this one

Fabulous. I mean it’s absurd

Wow, how anyone can look at those and think they are 'wrong' is beyond me.

They think we are all meanies who are preventing mediocre men competing in sport and winning our prizes. They miss the nuance that they can compete in an open category which includes men. Or create their own category.

These are all great ads but the problem for DeSantis is that Anheuser-Busch donate more to the Republicans than the Democrats. Trump has already recognised this and is capitalising on it.

I just saw that ad. It was surprising as I didn’t know where it was going.

brilliantly clear.

I'm puzzled too! Is it usual in the US for businesses to create adverts with an overtly political message?

It's a fantastic ad, but I'm wondering what their aim is.

They are based in Florida, DeSantis/Trump territory. States have lots of ways to support local businesses. I assume that the calculation is that they will gain more in support and custom than they lose.

In answer to the questions about adverts, it's not that common for a company explicitly to nail its colours to the mast like this, as obviously you risk alienating half your customer base. However, it is much, much commoner in the US for people not directly involved in politics, including business owners to have known political allegiances.

I just looked them up and it seems they have a history of making political/libertarian ads:

Being stated, openly, bluntly - wow, thank God things are finally shifting.

Great response from someone on Twitter:

Get yourself an Egard Watch.

Because even if it breaks, it'll still be right two more times a day than Kirstie Allsopp.

I want one of those watches!
Just looked on the website, they have a ‘womanhood is a birthright’ pendants too.

I ordered one of those pendants. They are actually really nice

The pendants are very nice, I've bought a few,
they also asked me to talk about women's rights on a pod cast which was slightly disconcerting. I've always assumed they managed to contact other more knowledgeable customers possibly from here.

I declined.
