Slate's Ad Report Card: Miller Beer's New Campaign
Scene from the Miller beer commercial, a man trips at the back of the line, causing it to tumble like dominoes. The human dominoes keep falling until they hit a man at the bar who steps out of the line. The man is a Miller beer drinker.
Seth Stevenson, who writes the 'Ad Report Card' column for Slate, reviews a new commercial by that perennial underdog, Miller beer. The ad's creative director says that Budweiser has become a "default" choice, so Miller's new message is, "Don't be a sheep."
