It's refreshing to see a beer ad that doesn't take the viewer for an idiot. What we see here in Montreal right now is just ridiculous: http://img195.imageshack

- smokinn 17y agoI hate those ads. They're the very definition of "uncanny valley". The women are just real looking enough so that they look human from a distance but closer they're very obviously cg plasticy. It's so creepy.
- omouse 17y agoHaven't they aired those exact same ads every year since the dawn of man? >:(
- teamonkey 17y agoI agree, I find them pretty offensive on several levels and they're all over Montreal right now. The province of Quebec is packed with micro-breweries and has an enormous selection of excellent artisanal beers. People here like their beer: I've never seen anyone order a Bud here. They're going for the lowest possible denominator in a really tough market. In fact, it's almost like they're targeting adolescents, certainly 18 year old college kids. A summer camp staffed by cheerleaders? The more you think about it the more appalling it seems.
- domodomo 17y agoAmerica exports Budweiser to other countries? I'm so sorry.
- mahmud 17y agoBud tastes way better in Prague though.
- paulbaumgart 17y agoThey actually sell it in the US as Czechvar- one of my favorites, incidentally. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechvar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechvar
- smokinn 17y agoI suppose it's revenge for us exporting Molson. I'm sorry about that too. =(
