This is spot on, originally for the Super Bowl but I spotted it on Sky Sports earlier.

There's something about Helen Mirren talking dirty that makes men pay attention.

Something about the advert being sponsored by Budweiser didn't sit well with me.

She gets straight to the point! Hopefully in the run up to Christmas this advert could be altered and shown on ITV.

Or use your frigging phone - which, if anything seems to becoming a bigger problem.

But doesn't that make the advert more effective? It isn't a puritanical message about the dangers of drinking; it's simply saying that it's fine to drink, but when you do, don't drive home. I think it's a very good advert, personally.

I totally agree. Drinking and using your phone can be dangerous.

She wouldn't put up with my nonsense but I'd love to buy her an ice-cream and ruffle her hair

100% this.
Especially the bell ends that are texting and scrolling through twitter/ Facebook etc when driving.

I think its encouraging that a maker of alcoholic beverages is helping spread a message of safety and responsibility.

Yes, me too. Budweiser is crap, she should have been drinking some Sierra Nevada or some such.

I think Vodka is probably her drink of choice, google her real name, far sexier than Helen : 0 )
