actually I'd suggest with most of the guys on here they'd be just as interested in attending if the free pints came with a raffle ticket for hideous sneakers rather than being distributed by promo girls

I don't see your point. Do you want them to have men handing out flyers too?

Seems a bit overly sensitive to me.

Allegedly

It's not who is handing out flyers - its the fact that in this day and age a bar/big dunc appeals to you the punter by talking about "lovely ladies"... and I'm sure both BB & 4K's wd like to have a bigger female clientele but its things like this that make places like that unappealing to many of my mates and I. plus I'm defending you/ the yf/punters honor cause trying to attract you with the whiff of boobies assumes you all have no brains

Why would the bar manager saying his lady staff members will he handing out flyers for free pints put women off going?

Maybe I'm just under sensitive....

It's not saying we are stupid,it was just a bit of fun. I'm sure his staff don't see themselves as being treated like objects,nor do we see them that way.

Looking forward to the free pint after work though!

If men were handing out flyers the women would be saying..
"This place needs to employ more women"

If girls handed them out..
"Honey, I dont want you going there, they have skantily clad sluts flirting and handing out flyers. Its disgusting there.

On a random note. My bug at the moment is an ad on tv - think it's for ice-cream. A woman is eating the ice-cream bought to her by a man. As he walks past she slaps him on the ass then giggles at the camera.

Can't help but think what sort of outrage there would be if the roles were reversed?

How exactly do imagine  woman were treated in the dark ages? I admit history was never a strength of mine, but I seem to remember a lot of queens and woman in high standings...

Prepare to be disappointed.

I'm pretty sure the Pints referred to in this promotion are actually BNU's Capital 16 team.

And there is a good reason why they are free.

Be thankful they're not the smoke-filled dark dungeons of old, or anything like Lovelocks.

Bars have "Ladies Nights", and I don't see complaints about the ladies getting free drinks and/or discounts on drinks?

Bars attract clients through promos like this one, and the Oktoberfest, which I thought was a laugh.

Considering how overly serious every hole-in-the-wall bar in Wellington likes to take themselves, having a bar owner who puts on something a bit fun is a nice change IMO.

You sound like you're pretty easily offended.  I find that magnum ad a bit silly, and a poor rip off of Outrageous Fortune, but it certainly doesn't offend me.
 
I don't take it as saying that all men are dummies.  Just like you shouldn't think that this promotion means that all women are hotties with free beer vouchers.
 
Perhaps you'd best stay home.  I'll have your free pint.
 
Thanks BigDunc and Boycie for continuing to support the Fever boys, and girls.

I never said I was offended by either the ice-cream ad (merely pointing out to tegal there are worse ice-cream ads then the one that bugs him) or by the "lovely ladies" or even the ad above stating free pints from wenches. I merely stated that some females myself included will go out of our way not to spend our cash at establishments that promote themselves that way. Since I'm don't seem to be salivating over the whole notion of "FREE" alcohol the way the rest of you do I'm guessing I prob spend more than you guys do when out most weekends and BB & 4K's will never get those $$

 
but I'm sure they'll cope

OK, now you sound like one of those twats that prances around Courtney Place paying for overly expensive glasses of plonk.

Nobody cares how much you spend on alcohol each weekend, not all of us derive our value from consumption of booze.

lol I actually very rarely drink alcohol & I hate plonk - my point was I don't see the word FREE and think I've won lotto when we're talking about a mere $6-$9 drink - thats left to those whose lives do revolve around the consumption of alcohol in the weekendsstealthkiwi2010-11-02 15:01:07

why make such a big deal about it? it's a very kind oiffer from the owners of the BB and 4kings helping the boys/girls warm up and celebrate the game. You are perfectly entitled not to turn up for whatever reason, but don't be a hater just cos they are using the term wench.
