The Department of Defense takes a shot at drinking with That Guy, another one of those characteristically we-speak-your-language government campaigns that, in a wildly uncool manner, attempts to demonstrate how uncool it is to be a drinker.

The site feels a bit dated and we agree with Bill at Make the Logo Bigger: there’s not much of an attempt to reach out to swig-happy women, and you know we’ve seen a few. It’s also a little stupid to put a “Fun Stuff” section on a site that hopes to lay it on thick about the mals of the bottle. – Contributed by Angela Natividad
