Well, with everything tequila has done for sex over the last many decades, it's the least that sex can do. Somehow, the Britney Spears lede combined with the Patron spot has my head swimming. I think tequila and coke (either version) is a guaranteed cerebral hemmorrhage - yet I've got enough brain cells left to agree that Patron caved unnecessarily to pressure from the sexually-political-correctness front. Glad I found your blog, dude - I'll be back. Sex sells…tequila? Well, with everything tequila has done for sex over the last many decades, it’s the least that sex can do.

In what way does referring to a woman as "whore-iffic" further your argument or your point? 2. The Patron ad is in no way "liberating women." That is most certainly not a position of power. The ad, which targets men, implies that women are manipulative and that women who drink alcohol are sexually promiscuous. 1.
