Alas, if it's not in the Wall Street Journal (yes, I'm an MBA. I get the WSJ. Of course, now that I receive it, I realize what utter crap the reporting in it is, but whatever) then I don't see it. Frankly, the ad sounds like a certain two Hobbs house women around gin. I'm just not sure which one is the angel... Interesting, I was assuming they were some of the vintage print adds.

In publications like the New Yorker (or perhaps only the New Yorker, since that's where I see them). One features a lady in a devil outfit wrapping herself around another lady in an angel outfit, tempting her to sin with some Campari, I assume! No no, PRINT ads.

Is that from their vintage ads? There was a one with someone on a white horse that I always liked, but I don't recall the that the rider was a devil. The Campari adds I am familiar with, are more like <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=EAZhdrB8cjA" rel="nofollow">this one</a>. Which I sort of enjoy, although find their rampant heterosexuality to be an opportunity lost.

It may indeed be a boy thing, I have yet to meet a woman who enjoyed one. I do know a few fellows who thoroughly enjoy a good Negroni, although often the time has to be right. Chris Bernard and I had delightful Negronis last night, while the womenfolk looked on in horror. Campari is just so good!

That's so like you! :) Chris, you just like Campari because their ads feature women dressed as devils in skintight red vinyl outfits. That’s so like you!

Drinking it was a fascinating experience. It reminded me of my first martini, which also tasted like floor cleaner. Unlike the martini, though, the Negroni has so far failed to lure me back with its siren call. Perhaps it is a boy thing? I survived one of these Negronis. Drinking it was a fascinating experience.
