Incivility in the Campaign for President
of Beers that is. By now, you've probably seen the Miller advertisements where Miller is running for "President of Beers." Some goofy looking guy representing Miller recreates some Clinton and Bush (fils) mannerisms while "debating" a Clydesdale (representing Bud) while saying some pretty amusing (and pretty stupid) things.
Well apparently this ticked off Miller (even though as best as I can tell Bud's point is accurate), so on Friday Miller took Bud to court.
I think it'll all work out as long as they don't get Elmo or Cookie Monster involved.

"This is a travesty and a sham and a mockery. It's a travishamockery!"So of course, Budweiser responded. Today I saw commercials (not yet up on the Bud site) with the lizards going off on the Miller spots. Specifically saying that Miller can't run for President - it's not even American, it's owned by a South African company.
"Why won't my opponent debate this issue? Is it because he's a horse? Or is it because he's got blinders on? No peripheral vision. Look at me. (snaps) Both sides."
