Johnnie Walker gets Woke

It's shitty whiskey only a girl would like anyway.

Get woke, go broke.

Pander to SJW's to alienate your core consumers, that's the new 2019 corporate playbook.

This one makes sense. Alcoholism is skyrocketing among post-wall, cat-herding career power-women. You know, them being so fulfilled and all now. Let them have the swill. They love shitty box wine too--why not this?

The future is female is one of the most sexist things I've ever read.

Johnnie Walker is atrocious. Red Label is damn near undrinkable

Getting woke didn't work well for Gilette

DigitalDragonSlayer · 2019-01-24T22:18:29+00:00

Great. Never buying JW ever again.

To what extent is "all publicity good publicity"? That's a bold move Cotton let's see how it plays out for them

RevolutionaryPea7 · 2019-01-24T20:39:49+00:00

I'm out out of the loop. What does "gets woke" mean?

millioneuroextreme · 2019-01-24T23:22:39+00:00

That like to comment ratio though. Get fucked, Johnnie.

spaceraverdk · 2019-01-25T02:23:55+00:00

Meh. I'll have a glass of Lagavulin..

Some food for thought:

As most of you have probably figured out, it’s likely that part of the drive to get women more involved in business and industry is motivated by the desire to exploit a new consumer group that previously didn’t exist and that now has more money. This is supplemental to the likelihood that by adding more people to the work force (females) corporations can pay lower wages in terms of real dollars (by actual purchasing power). It used to be that one earner in a household could support a family and purchase a house. Now it often takes two earners.
In recent years, companies such as Johnnie Walker have seen much of their growth in expanding markets; mainly Africa, where people traditionally home brew and home distill alcohol, but who are now becoming more amendable to the idea of purchasing mass market alcohol. (See The Economist for specific information on this.) In the first world, Walker probably believes they’ve reached maximum market penetration for sales to men, so now they’re catering to women who now have disposable incomes and who are more frequently without children and so have more time to get drunk.
While this campaign negatively affects my own personal interest in considering whether I want to purchase this particular brand (as it does for many of you), remember that Johnnie Walker is owned by what is basically the largest alcohol distribution company in the world (InBev), which owns brands such as Budweiser, Corona, Leffe, Goose Island, Modelo, Rolling Rock, and others. They might possibly think twice next time they consider peddling this sort of thing if the outcry is noisy enough, but a token boycott of one of their products won’t affect them monetarily.

I thought it was a bit humorous when they began marketing their Jane Walker line. They typically age the scotch for 12 years, so it’s unlikely that any of the scotch in the Jane Walker bottles was actually conceived as Jane Walker when it was initially made.

"The future is female"

Isn't that what that idiot Star Wars producer chick wore on a t-shirt? Christ.

Whatever, blended scotch is garbage anyway.

"Aged 12 years a slave in a barrel. Walk with Jane."

Look, the RE in 'RESIST ER' is coloured red.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Avertus · 2019-01-26T12:02:07+00:00

I really think there's some undercover marketing troll who hops from company to company, then convinces the pr department to adopt feminist bs then waiting for the advertising disaster to come down like an avalanche

Am I the only redpiller who prefers Irish Whiskey over scotch? lol
