The full Boony
The man in charge of Foster’s multimillion dollar sponsorship budget said that the group’s award winning talking VB Boony Doll had ”normalised binge drinking”.
Speaking at the national conference of Sponsorship Australasia, Chris Maxwell, national sponsorship manager for Fosters Group, called on the whole industry to work together to promote responsible alcohol marketing to fend off prohibitive legislation.
The talking Boony doll was a caricature of the cricketer David Boon.
Along with a Beefy doll representing Ian Botham, the dolls had implanted sound chips which were triggered by TV coverage of the cricket.
One of Boon’s claims to notoriety was consuming 52 cans of beer on a flight from Sydney to London before the 1989 Ashes.
This is all well and good, but the more I drink, and the more I get to know men, the more I find myself loving the Boony doll.
Yours, while playing with melodramatic themes, but putting aside the temptation to scream or otherwise let the emotions take over.
Righteous

“We at Victoria Bitter promote only responsible drinking, and trust you’ll only enjoy our product in moderation for the cool, refreshing, clean taste”.
Right.
And Seth Rogen only promotes the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. Anything else would be plain irresponsible.
I have an irregular menstrual cycle, so I am arguing both sides of this issue with myself. You are only complicating it with wit.
