Mason, 45, has yet to land an account.

No, you can't.

The beer companies probably don't want to draw any more attention to the similarities between their product and piss.

Toilets shaped like American beer cans - how appropriate.

How do you invent a beer can? Haven't those been around for a while? Perhaps he built one instead.

Ahhh...finally....beer and piss come together....

bradley547		2004-07-15 04:14:25 PM

Because as we all know, American beer is piss anyway!

Xeonicus		2004-07-15 04:15:14 PM

Wow, if that isn't a niche market I don't know what is... Basing your business around providing advertising for "cyclinder" shaped products as a portable bathroom?
People have neat ideas but little marketing common sense... the dudes optimistic, but they have no accounts yet...

Vern		2004-07-15 04:15:50 PM

So Lars Frederiksen works for an advertising company too? I wonder how the bastards feel about this...

Hogwasher		2004-07-15 04:20:21 PM

This is not new. Go to Vienna - there's a bar behind the military academy where you can get an 8-foot beer placed on your table.

I had to stop R'ingTFA when they started talking about Mt. Dew.

GIS for "giant beer":

"Like, it was already empty when we'se found it, eh?"

mista_tibbs		2004-07-15 04:26:54 PM

What do they mean, "negative connotations"? This captures the essense of Natural Light to a P....err, I mean T!

*sigh*
That temporary shiat-bucket is just waiting to be rolled down a hill with somebody inside it.

No accounts? That's uncanny!

Jeffy Jeff		2004-07-15 04:47:54 PM

Mmmmmmm, a giant can of Coors Lite! Oh wait that's just a porta-potty full of piss. Never mind.

"We're serving a dual purpose, by hiding an eyesore and providing an advertising venue with a lot of wow factor."

Yep, an 8 foot beer can with ads all over it is so much better. Maybe I'll get one for my front yard.

beercheckers		2004-07-15 04:55:37 PM

How about a latrine that looks like.... a phone booth...

Cuchulane		2004-07-15 05:05:35 PM

How about a latrine that looks like.... a phone booth...

Or a Phonebooth that was full of shiat?

haplo53		2004-07-15 05:15:41 PM

can you really "invent" that?

velvet_paw		2004-07-15 05:25:05 PM

What's wrong with the regular 8 ft beer cans? Why's he want a giant one?

Comatose		2004-07-15 05:26:56 PM

Wow, does this ever give new meaning to the word "shiatcanned"...

klatubaradanikto		2004-07-15 05:29:31 PM

So Don... Did you rivet the edges or weld?
Weld
Me too, it's the only way to go.

/My kingdom for a picture of Hank's giant "ALAMO" beer can or at least the cartoon Dandy Don Meridith.

Death_Poot		2004-07-15 05:43:18 PM

I shudder to think what "beer" from that can would taste like.....

I don't know about any of you, but nothing makes me more thirsty than seeing a giant Coke can of full of raw sewage.

Heineken Skywalker		2004-07-15 08:43:47 PM

I'd drink it!

toyotaboy		2004-07-15 08:54:34 PM

isn't there a heineken keg can radio commercial like this?
"Dont tip it.. DON'T TIP IT! Citizens found running from a giant keg can"

Silicon Sam		2004-07-15 09:49:59 PM

Years ago, back in the early 80's there was a 10 foot tall Schlitz beer can on wheels rolling around the country. I even took a ride in it during a parade at the Texas State Fair. I'll try to find a pic of it.
