Stupid Guys And Bikini-Clad Bimbos Need Not Apply

OK, Carlton Draught, maker of The Big Ad, we do love your quirky approach to selling beer. For years, you managed to do it without making guys look like idiots or tantalizing us with bikini-clad bimbos. For that alone you should get some kind of award.

We like your new Drop the Bomb ad. Getting a car to hit a target from 14,000 feet above is more fun than watching two busty babes in bikinis wrestle in the mud. Oh wait. Well, maybe not as much fun but at least your effort required some brain power and skill to pull off.

Yes, you’ve done the skydiving thing before but tossing a car out of an airplane (yea, that’s been done before, too) doesn’t require breast implants. Huh? Anyway, it got a girl – who is fully clothed – a new car. How sweet.

Psychology says adults who describe themselves as socially awkward aren’t lacking a skill — they’re often people who never learned to perform inauthenticity smoothly enough to pass, who find small talk genuinely difficult not because they have nothing to say but because they can’t quite make themselves say things they don’t mean, and in a world that runs on social performance that specific form of honesty looks, from the outside, exactly like a deficit

My daughter visits every few months and spends the entire time on her phone responding to work emails — and I realized I’m not angry about it anymore because I finally understand I’m the generation that taught them productivity matters more than presence

Grandparents who build real relationships with their grandchildren aren’t the ones who try hardest — they’re the ones who are most genuinely themselves in those relationships, who don’t perform grandparenthood but simply show up as a person the child finds worth knowing, and children are extraordinarily accurate detectors of the difference between someone who is interested in them and someone who is interested in the idea of being close to them

Psychologists explain that happiness after 60 often arrives not as a feeling but as an absence. The absence of pretending. The absence of urgency. The absence of the persistent low-grade fear that you’re falling behind a race that never existed.
