Whats the message to those "Captain Morgan's Rum" commercials?
You know, the ones where it shows people at there jobs or on the street taking the pose by the pirate character on the bottle. "There's a little Captain in them". Is this saying that the people are drinking on the job? Or are walking around under the influence?

Your views on this ad.

1. Hey, those pirates spend a lot of time at sea!!
I imagine some of the more tender crew members had no choice but to have a little Captain in 'em....!

4. The idea
Edited on Sat Apr-09-05 07:08 PM by fujiyama
of a dental hygenist or dentist or anyone somehow related to the medical profession having a little Captain Morgan in them on the job, is slightly disturbing to say the least.

I always found the ad to be promoting drinking on the job as well. Maybe I'm taking it too literally. They're just promoting the idea of acting like a drunk pirate character on the job.

Ah fuck it. I'll stick to Bacardi. Then again I'm not a big fan of rum anyways.

At least that's my take on those commercials.

10. Ahoy Matey! I love the Capt'n and I think the ads are funny
See, the thing about Capt'n drinkers is that we love to imitate pirates at some point, usually when preparing the first glass. Cheesy? Yea. Fun? Definitely.

So, I think the spots are pretty funny. The
