Hank LedgerPowerade has joined the backlash against Novig's Just Sports ad, which features a nude Sydney Sweeney, and the new Powerade commercial shades it.
Hank LedgerJoining us from Toledo is Odalys Brannigan, who owns Brannigan's Sports Bar and Grill and has ten televisions. Ms. Brannigan, have you seen the ad?
Odalys BranniganNo, Hank, I haven't. I only saw it by accident, at eight-fourteen last night, on the third television from the left.
Hank LedgerSo you did see it.
Odalys BranniganBy accident. I was holding the remote, and it slipped. Twice. Then it slipped again at eight-thirty-one.
Hank LedgerLet me ask you plainly. Is a sports drink company shading a naked ad a good use of anyone's thirty seconds?
Odalys BranniganLook, they sell blue liquid in a bottle, and now everybody's saying Powerade out loud. My customers are ordering it by name.
Hank LedgerSo the complaint is working as the ad.
Odalys BranniganExactly. They're not mad, they're booked. If you're offended on television, that's a sponsorship.
Hank LedgerBut I want to get back to the first question, because I'm not sure you answered it. Have you watched it deliberately?
Odalys BranniganFor the record, I watched it for work. Eleven times. Customers asked, and I had to be informed. Ask my remote.
Hank LedgerEleven.
Hank LedgerMs. Brannigan, thank you for not watching it today.
Odalys BranniganMy pleasure. I'll be not watching it again at six.
