Get an Ugly Girl to Marry You

This might be a good place to mention the issue of Link Rot. The transient nature of the internet means that websites constantly move or vanish. You dig through the archives of a blog like this, you're bound to find a slew of entries with links to things that don't exist any longer. Once in a blue moon, if I really feel like wasting some time, I might go back and update broken picture links on an archived month, but it's an endless battle against link rot.

Earlier in the summer, Bacardi Breezers launched an incomprehensibly offensive ad campaign suggesting that it's better to hang with ugly/uglier girls in order to make yourself look hotter. The fact that they were trying to market to women makes it even crazier.

One of the things that baffles me with something like this is, how do you hire women to portray specimens of "ugly girls"? I assume the models are human beings. And you can get anyone to do anything if you offer money and exposure. One would imagine these women have a high level of personal confidence to debase themselves in this manner.

This story's from earlier in the summer and links to the advert websites are long-dead now. Hopefully, this YOU TUBE clip hasn't been yanked yet:
