I reject the claim that Dirty Blond beer name campaign is misognistic and/or problematic in any.Way too much time on your hands, people. Get over it and put your wrath and support towards something that needs it. Really?????

The slogan has been taken out of context. It’s ridiculous that every whine becomes public to the point of changing social rules. Dirty blonde is nothing more than a hair colour and the brewery is in Dartmouth, so....dirty blonde from Dartmouth...who cares?? No one should!Rebecca Romanchych (Lawrencetown , 2019-11-27)

It is my favourite beer and I do not feel this is in any way, shape or form sexist. Just competitors jealous of the business they're losing to Nine Locks.Pat Healey (Enfield, 2019-11-27)

I’m signing because I love their Dirty Blonde. I also am female, with dark/dirty blonde hair, and have never found their beer naming or marketing offensive.Leah Randell (Madoc, 2019-11-27)

It's fantastic marketing and I am not a snowflake!Anne Butler (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

Dirty blonde is a hair colour, not the description of a blonde woman’s character. In this case, it is a ‘cheeky’ description of a ‘blonde’ beer. If one looks at what products are called in places such as NZ or AU, this name would seem totally tame in comparison. We have much bigger issues in this world to worry about.Theresa Murray (Baddeck, 2019-11-27)

This is ridiculous! I as a female do NOT find the name or marketing offensive.Carrie Sutton (Dartmouth , 2019-11-27)

This is a ridiculous claim. Someone looking to put their name on the media. Her issue isn’t with Nine Locks Brewery, it is an issue with the patrons in the establishment she works in. Dirty Blonde is nothing but a hair colour. No gender specificity.Marisa MacLean (Dartmouth , 2019-11-27)
#424
I don’t believe Nine Locks intent behind their marketing was to degrade anyone in any way shape or form! I enjoy their product especially the Dirty Blonde and respect their values and community involvement!!!Kevin Moore (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

We shouldn't be blaming clever marketing for the comments of idiots who sexually harass women at work. That is on the individual making the comments, not on the brewery. Would you blame Nike for unwanted sexual advances perpetrated by any athlete because of their "Just Do It" campaign? Nope. So why Nine Locks? This just reeks of jealousy from the other brewers. Making a controversy out of nothing to damage a competitor.Tobin Howes (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

I in know way find the Dirty Blond marketing campaign misogynistic, offensive or any of the other things it is being called. It is lighthearted, humorous and entertaining. And I am not a beet drinker!Denise Caines (Halifax, 2019-11-27)
#438
Totally believe this is competition based since 9 Locks is probably the most successful brewery at the moment. Dirty Blonde is a hair colour and Blonde is a kind of beer.Jennifer Guinchard (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

Being offended by the term dirty blonde is ridiculous, especially when it could cause a local business to lose money. The term was never intended to offend anyone. It refers to hair color!!!!!Guy Allen-Hermanson (Dartmouth , 2019-11-27)
#443
Im signing this because I believe that society has gone too far this time. We are becoming over sensitive and making this about sexism. It has nothing to do with this. Are we now going to go after all businesses like starbucks with this Blond roast.I always order a tall blond with milk... People need to calm down.Ron Nugent (Wellington, 2019-11-27)
#445
I’m signing because this great beer has been around for a while now, if people had a problem at the time of launch, then that’s a different story. Nine Locks likes to have fun with their advertising, what’s the harm in that!!Robyn Irvine (Beaverbank, 2019-11-27)
#446
I am signing this petition because I am a huge fan of mine locks and what they stand for being a local brewery. The dirty blonde beer is a well crafted beer and has nothing to do with this ridiculous pity party this women has started! I am a dirty blonde women who lives in Dartmouth and I am proud to say so. And I would wear a nine locks shirt proudly!Sarah Cahill (Dartmouth , 2019-11-27)

I'm signing this as people need to get over themselves, enjoy the beer and don't read into everything. It is a great beer and I drink it every time I am in Dartmouth. Wish I could get it in Ontario.Jennifer Johnson (Oakville, 2019-11-27)
#455
I'm signing because a dumb blond girl thinks that "dirty blond" means a 'dirty' blond rather than the hair colour, "dirty blond". Hopefully, someone will tell her someday. Perhaps thousands through an online petition.Garth Drake (Hampton, 2019-11-27)

This is ridiculous. Tongue in cheek humor and a great marketing strategy that other breweries are sorry they didn't come up with. I am not offended, and in no way believe it encourages younger people drink. WTG Nine Locks BrewingJim Bent (Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, 2019-11-27)

I'm signing because this is ridiculous. As a woman that has had various hair colours over the years, including dirty blonde, I find the Nine Locks brand and all of their beer names completely non-offensive. It's just a hair colour, this is going too far! What woman in their right mind is really offended by this, it's all about the brewery competition, I don't know 1 female who would be offended by it! Bonus...dirty blonde is my favourite and I'm picky with beer!Stacey Roche (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

This Politically correctness BS is getting way out of hand. These craft breweries used to be a tight community. Now they are dog eat dog and what ever crap they can sling to make the other guy look bad they will. The guy from Big Spruce who is pushing this should be ashamed of himself. Everyone around here wants everyone to be successful, but not more successful than what they are! What a load of crap!!!!Jason Wall (Beaver Bank, 2019-11-27)

I honk it’s absolutely ridiculous that people are taking offence to this and blaming the beer company. The offender should be directed at those making the comments, calling them out not the best companyBeth Macmullin (Eastern passage , 2019-11-27)

Dirty blonde is a reference to hair color. It is an intelligent, appropriated name for a Nine Locks blonde brew. To see otherwise is simply overreaching.Karen Coleman (Seaforth, NS, 2019-11-27)

I fail to see the connection between attacking a local microbrewery for their Dirty Blonde (literally the type of beer) ad campaign and reducing instances of sexism and misogyny in our culture. This is the 'Boy Who Cried Wolf'. We need to sound the alarm and rally when there is a real problem. This beer and the associated advertising campaign is not a real problem.Connor Boyd (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

I see this name as only a reference to a particular shade of blonde/yellow hue, NOT to any person(s) who are that self centered that every little thing is about themselves and their insecurities.Todd MacDonald (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

I’m signing this petition because I think Nine locks should be able to call their beer whatever they want.If you’ve taken offence to the name of said beer then you really need to get another hobby. Too much of you’re time is wasted on stupid stuff. Like even a remote change they wanted to label or poke fun at something.
Seriously just grow up
