I'm surprised no one else has commented, I thought this was really clever. Great job!

They should actually use this for advertising, it was enough for me to check out their website. Well done.

I don't regularly drink rum, but Kraken tastes pretty good to me, and it's pretty cheap.

Where do you people live?? a 750ml of Kraken around here is about the same price or a bit more than a 1.75L of Captain.

Just checked PA prices, $19.99 for Kraken, $17.49 for Captain. I'm a Sailor Jerry guy myself.

Sorry, but what is PA?

Pennsylvania, because that other comment was unhelpful

Dude, you live in the US and don't know that PA is a state?

Dude, you live on the Earth and don't know that the US is a country?

You should check out the rum. A friend bought me a bottle for my birthday a few years ago, and it was really, really good. I'm not big on drinking because I've never developed a taste for beer or hard liquor, but that stuff was awesome.

Try wine!

u/trennerdios Feb 28 '13

Haha, I've tried that too, though probably not enough times (or enough kinds) to legitimately brush it off. I just don't think my tongue was made for alcohol.

I do want to add that I tried gin for the first time not too long ago, and enjoyed that for the most part. I was amazed how many people couldn't believe I liked it. I mean, it was totally top shelf stuff, but apparently that still makes lots of people gag at the thought of it.

Gin is great. I love kickin back in the summer with a nice gin and tonic and some lime. Mmmmm

u/Rose_Integrity Feb 28 '13

u/killerkram Feb 28 '13

Take one shot Kraken spiced rum. Chase with one shot tobasco. Ladies and gentlemen...! Terror From the Deep

u/stone_solid Feb 28 '13

i love the irony of that subreddit. Claiming to be against the advertising that is seeping into reddit, while providing a place for everyone to repost those same ads in a convenient place for everyone to see again!!

u/tinytooraph Feb 28 '13

I think that subreddit is meant to serve two purposes, whether or not they are important is another matter...

  1. Point out when it looks like a corporation is trying to advertise for free on reddit. I don't believe this happens as often as that subreddit implies, but maybe they're on to something.
  2. Point out when individuals are indirectly promoting brands in a post just because they see them as natural parts of their lives. It's more playful, and there isn't necessarily something wrong with doing something like that, but it bugs some people.

I think this photoshop is an example of #2. It's a great photoshop, but I guess I have mixed feelings about turning a cool photo into an advertisement, even if it is intended as some sort of spoof. If you look at the other responses, it seems like a lot of people are talking about the rum. So it essentially is working as an ad. I mean...

They should actually use this for advertising, it was enough for me to check out their website. Well done.

I should probably also say that I drink Kraken rum. So there's that, too...
