Saw what appears to be Anheuser-Busch's respons to the Miller "President of Beers" ads yesterday, notable for the return of the lizard spokesreptiles.

It was also notable for being a very poor ad. It really sounded like some VP was pissed off and wrote a memo that got turned into the ad's script. The ad tended to focus on Bob Odenkirk and made a lame comparison between his character and the back end of a Clydesdale. Overall, though, the ad was as crappy as your average Bud product. It was a traveshamockery, you might say.

(NOTE: This post does not constitue an endorsement for Miller beers, which also tend to suck. If the ballot included in a recent Sports Illustrated is accurate, you can write in a candidate, and I would heartily endorse any of the following: Harpoon, Tremont, Ipswich, Newport Storm, Geary's, Magic Hat, Saranac, Goose Island, Anchor, Sierra Nevada, Rogue, or Pyramid. Feel free to nominate your own favorite in the comments.)
