Animal Farm

I don’t know about you, but my favorite ad from last night’s Super Bowl was the political allegory from Anheuser-Busch. George W. Bush, represented by a young Clydesdale, slips into a harness and tries to pull the Budweiser beer wagon—which represents both the United States and the free-wheeling lifestyle he has only recently left behind. He is unable to move it until he is secretly helped by two adult horses—James Baker and Dick Cheney—who push the wagon from behind. Then the farmer (Karl Rove) looks at the dog (Judy Miller) and says, “I won’t tell if you won’t.” And that’s why the little Clydesdale believes in Jesus. A beautiful story.

PLUS: Save time with Lost Remote’s three word reviews of yesterday’s ads.
