Bud Fights Back

Miller Beer should pick their fights more carefully.

In response to the "President of Beers" campaign launched by Miller earlier in the year, Budweiser has gone on the offensive and initiated a series of commercials taking a direct shot at Miller. It seems that Miller was recently purchased by South African Breweries, and the Budweiser lizards are making sure everyone knows it.

Miller was not amused and promptly sued Anheuser-Busch. However, even though Bud was forced to yank a poster ad claiming that Miller was South African owned, the courts ruled it was okay to continue running the commercials.

They're so damned funny, I just had to share.
