Has anyone else nearly shot their TV?

[Botafogo]

Korbel is as part of this disgustingly manipulative campaign where very upscale looking people are at an art opening or a Broadway premiere and when they taste the "champagne" and discover to their horror that "It's not Korbel!" they all run out screaming about the tackiness of the hosts. The Millenium spot has a VERY ritzy house that is completely empty at two minutes past midnite on the turn of the century and a parrot droning over and over "The champagne's not Korbel, the champagne's not Korbel...... See, I told you, you should have bought Korbel!"

My objection to this is twofold:

A) it is insulting to the intellegence of knowledgable folks who know that in fact the hosts of a party in such a tony neighborhood would be social pariahs if they DID serve Korbel.

and, more importantly,

B) this is plainly meant to stick a thorn in the social anxiety of folks who don't know anything about bubbly but want to make sure they dont'e "do the wrong thing". It is an obvious case of very clever and highly paid marketing weasels pushing shame buttons like they do with deordorants, feminine "freshness sprays" and mouthwashes, and has nothing to do with the quality, value or lack thereof of the wine.

PS: Tom, we are about to have a VERY large row here about the uses of names like "Belgian Ale" and "Kolschbier" as microbreweries who have paid loving tribute to their brewing heros go commercial and search for a way to identify the style of their beers, could get nasty!
