The Internet Loves Beer (Commercials)
Not one, but two, beer commercials are making the viral marketing rounds this week -- and while one of them is very likely astroturf (fake grassroots), the other is actually pretty fun.
Rolling Rock tried once before to fake a scandal, so their claims that this commercial is too cool for school (or network television) have us all a little suspicious. I'll admit to chuckling around the twenty second mark -- it is COMMITTED to hitting men in the junk -- but it's nothing mindblowing or outlandish.
Meanwhile, "Swear Jar," this new spot from Bud.TV, is actually very charming and well-produced, while actually delivering on its promise of sauciness. Both of these ads are fun, but no one likes an attention whore, Rolling Rock. And Bud.TV has earned our interest.
