    I guess advertisers have run out of catchy tag lines, and have to make up new words to get people talking about their products.

    Thats why I like Beer ads. Funny, catchy and don't bastardise the English language.

    Interesting, I just gave that youtibe vid a thumbs down and left a comment, not rude showing my displeasure for 'moreing' (it even feels unnatural to type!).
