I thought the joke was that the trunks aren't ok in America because the guy was grossly overweight. Anyway, nah... I'm not at all offended - it's all good natured ribbing. :P

BTW, is Miller the one that tastes like fizzy piss?

How can you "man up" with a light beer? What is a light beer anyway? A pilsener? I seriously don't understand this commercial and why I should be offended...

The only thing offending me so far is how long my internet connection is taking to load a 30 second video. 5 minutes to load 5 seconds so far.

mrmusicman247

I can see why he would be offended. The British penchant with Speedos is well known, even among seniors which grosses some children out.

I meant no offense. The above was based on some British senior RAF types I was with at poolside long ago. Me? I was wearing Hawaiian swimming trunks (as did the other Yanks).

The only thing funny about the ad is how the actress says miller has more taste and keeps a straight face. Who honestly thinks Miller taste like good beer? I'm from the states.

That was my thought... Miller is garbage... Then again, all the trash beer companies (Miller, Bud, Coors, etc.) promote their "taste" when there's none to speak of.

Either people don't buy for taste....or they haven't tasted better alcohol. The wine that sells the most is the wine that has the least taste. I work in a wine and spirits so I notice the lack of taste in wine sales.:P

Also, the type of folks who want to get wasted on a case of beer tend to favor cost over quality.

Stella.

markop2003

Strange, Stella was known as piss water where i grew up.

Don't you mean wife beater? That's what we call it, It totally rhymes as well. Actually I thought Stella was decent, but given a choice it wouldn't be a primary pick.

Seriously though? Man up with "light beer"? They might have had a point if it actually could hold it's own against the majority of European brands, but it really can't.
