Winelibrary TV Spot - Not a common commercial

TV Spot of retail wine store (winelibrary) - Strange commercial This is not your common TV commercial. In fact, I have never seen a TV spot of a retail wine store before this one.

So, you've been a member for less than a month and your first post is a commercial. That's not good. It makes people question whether you work for the company being advertised, or the ad agency who made the commercial, or something dubious along those lines. All the more so when you provide no personally identifying content in your profile.

I didn't know PepsiBlue made wine.

Better yet, every single comment is a one liner. And a user named yonnage digged it 17 days ago.

And there's nothing remotely strange about that crappy commercial. Off with your head.

He appears to work there. On this blog, under "Links" on the right, WineLibrary is listed as "my employer". And the user links to a flickr user (with pictures of himself) named yonnage.

Pity, if it weren't a damnedable self-link, I'd find it worthwhile for a chuckle to see men in suits spitting wine at each other.

Also, I heard that Winelibrary supported the American Nazi party. Just a rumor, but it's a totally true one.

Bah. Men in suits should not spit wine at each other. Rather, they should let it dribble out of their mouths as they slowly make out. Now that's a commercial.

This place looks like some kind of Boiler Room of wine.

The guy at the toll booth told me that Winelibrary was started by Idi Amin.

Winelibrary is waging war against people of faith.

As I understand it, Wine Library support the killing of abortionist doctors.

Winelibrary doesn't care about black people.

Winelibrary will only serve people of faith.

Hey Plutor, how did you find the blog, and what specifically indicates that it belongs to this yonnage guy?

Wine Library posts flash toys showing Kong pooping on people.

Also, my pastor told me that employees of Winelibrary have been arrested multiple times for exposing themselves to children. He also said that anyone who buys from Winelibrary is stupid, smelly, fat and has a tiny penis.

CNN just reported Winelibrary was caught attempting to sneak a suitcase bomb across the border.

Winelibrary won't give out birth control because it's against its religion.

it's an OK commerical anyway. It would get my attention.
But not as fun as the TV Commercial I saw the other night here in MD - for a creepy, smoky old Wine Emporium and "Packaged Goods" Store (the kind where you can get Wine on Sundays around here because of the loophole that they also serve food - in this case something called the "Reuben Dog." ...according to the commercial.
In these places the people look like they have been sitting at the counter all day long ... as far away from sunlight as they can get, and maybe you have to poke em with a stick to make sure they are alive.


I miss upstate NY where you can get beer at EXXON Mobil 24/7.

Winelibrary ate my balls.

*late to the party, nothing left*

Wine Library uses the elevator to get from the first floor to the second floor, and presses the rest of the buttons before getting out.
posted by Rothko at 4:38 PM on December 5, 2005

That's not true. Ate my balls is a classic internet staple of humor that n00bs at life fail at.

You hear me n00bs?! YOU FAIL IT!

Oh, er... Wine Library turned me into a newt.

For the longest time, the agent just sits in silence. Finally, he manages, "That's a hell of an act. What do you call it?"

And, then, winelibrary says, "The Aristocrats!"

Can't match up to Jack Black's spit takes on SNL a few years back. Wine Library isn't even as cool as Ben Stiller.

WineLibrary told me casually at the end of a phone call about something else that Plutor is a CIA operative working on weapons of thread destruction.

But really, we shouldn't make fun of WineLibrary.com. Wine Library probably has Asperger's.

WineLibrary keyed my car this morning AND wiped a nasty booger on my phone handset! I'm gonna kick WineLibrary's ass next time I see him.
