Amusing newspaper ad

One of the local liquor store chains is called ''Liquor Land''. This name always amuses me: it sounds like a seedy amusement park from a ''Simpsons'' episode. (''Ooh -- Marge!!! Liquor Land!!!'')

This advertisement was in yesterday's newspaper. Notice that it gives 20c off on gasoline -- when you buy SIX OR MORE BOTTLES OF WINE!!!

Somehow, a liquor store offering discounts on gasoline with your purchase seems... wrong. Somehow it seems like it is contributing to drunk driving.

Related to that, several ''bottle shops'', as they are called here, offer a ''drive-through'' service. Again, that seems... wrong.

But also, darkly amusing.
