The Death of Beer

Turns out, the consumption of beer is significantly down. According to this article, "According to a recent article in Ad Age, sales of Bud Light are down 5.3 percent in 2010, while Miller Lite is down 7.5 percent. In fact, only four of the top 30 brands saw sales increase. These are not slight changes. For an industry that relies on slow and steady annual growth, they represent a full-blown crisis." Kevin serves as a case in point as he sips his half-beer/half-lemonade concoction.

New Adidas Commercial Combines Snoop Dogg & Star Wars

Just when we thought the Cantina Band couldn't get any more badass, in comes Oasis, David Beckham, Daft Punk and that kid from all the Judd Apatow movies. Check it! Also, Daft Punk should have been in the original Star Wars movies.
