Just started listening to Joe Duffy show,what's this about Dublin Fire Brigade ad?

Does anyone know what this topic is all about? I caught it in the last half hour but no idea what it is about?? A Dublin Fire Brigade / Guinness / tv ad issue??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElMEi_TlPmM this is the link to the ad they refer to and the issue is that it is for Guinness and the Fire Brigade should not be promoting alcohol.....

Yes and I think the ad also features medical scientists in the mater hospital.


I would have thought that such ads would feature professional actors to deptict the various professions farmer, trawlermen, scientists, firemen etc.

Oh MY GOD..Im sorry people,but oh my GOD,that is just such an amazing ad!
Are they real firemen?? They are simply gorgeous!

OK,got that off my chest.ahem,cough cough..OK looking at the ad,I honestly think it was stunning,I loved it.
Picking myself up off the floor now and back to the real world!

I heard some callers to Joe duffy complaining about it,( due to alcohol and sports association ),and got the impression it was fire fighters holding pints of Guinness with a hose in the other right throughout the ad.
Having just watched it there,it seems there are lots of workers featured in it.

Oh PLEASE GUINNESS DONT WITHDRAW THIS AD..
