It seems that some folks are outraged at a new ad from Miller Lite. I saw it a week or so ago, thought it was funny and interesting. Personally, I have nothing against a comely lass in a bikini, but I don't think that is the point of the ad.
Still, I don't see the outrage. I'll still buy Miller Lite. What say ye?

I 'think' this ad actually came out in March. Just now getting traction due to the AB issues.
give me a couple shots of irish cream and a shot of vanilla creamer and i'm good...they can keep the beer
She’s got nice tits. Shame she’s so full of shit. “Women were among the first ti brew beer”; the other option being men. “So they put us in bikinis”; what, 20,000 years ago when beer was invented? So here she and her foul mouthed pals are, sucking the fun out of marketing. Again.
Get lost.
The term "ale-wife" has an historical significance.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alewife
Although the profession was later taken over by men, the original brewing profession back in ancient Mesopotamia was principally performed by women. The character of Siduri in the Epic of Gilgamesh appears as a divine alewife.
Women also brewed the majority of ale for both domestic and commercial use in England before the Black Death, and some women continued brewing into the 17th century. Ale represented a key part of the medieval English diet as it was both the most affordable and clean beverage available.

It's a dumb commercial, and sort of crass. I don't know why, but I was expecting to see her in a bikini.
Won't make me buy lite beer, but mostly because I don't drink it. Yuengling is about as light as I go. That said, if there's no alternative Miller lite is at least drinkable, unlike bud.
At least she's a real woman, albeit a plain one.
Sweetwater for meee!
