This Bud's for You?
Dame Helen Mirren is known for playing blunt-spoken women, up to and including the Queen of England -- several times over. She does not play the Queen in this 60-second Super Bowl ad sponsored by Budweiser beer, but she does have some blunt words for people who drive drunk. “You are, simply put, a short-sighted, utterly useless, oxygen-wasting human form of pollution,” she says. Phrased that way, it does sound rather bad, doesn’t it? But happily, she adds, you can avoid all that by simply staying sober behind the wheel – and, by implication, living to sit in a stylish old pub and enjoy a burger, fries and ice-cold Bud. Just like Helen Mirren. -David Hinckley
