    You know… I’ve always missed the beginning and have only seen the end to that commercial.

    Unfortunately, if the folks at Corona were at all serious about sales, they’d come and shovel my sidewalks so I can get out of the house and go to the liquor store to buy their wonderful product.

    Jebus! I wouldn’t buy that beer. That goddam commercial is also promoting Young Earth Creationism. Screw them!

  3. Nebularry says

    Ironically, I tried my first Corona just yesterday. It has an interesting flavor – sort of spicy. Well, apparently, I’ll have to try a few more to see if I really like it.

    Out my window, the winter winds blow
    And I love it, in case you don’t know.
    Take your tropical beach;
    Keep it way out of reach–
    Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

    Don’t worry, Dave, I still have a few bottles of your homebrew here. I’ll open another one tonight — I know it’s better than Corona.

    I didn’t see this ad as advocating young earth creationism — it’s more like a proper appreciation of the power of geology and biology to change the landscape.

  6. says

    Oh c’mon, am I the only one geeky enough to recognize instant terraformation? This isn’t geology, or creationism, its the Genesis Project from “Star Trek, the Wrath of Kahn”!

    Those beer drinkers have to get off of their lazy bums and go looking for a guy with pointy ears. He should be around there somewhere.

  7. Richard Harris says

    Yeah, PZ, but just look at how fast they have it going! So, 6 000 years at that pace should just about get us from the day of Creation to now. I’d be suspect of their agenda. Where’s it brewed – Kansas, Florida, Texas?

    But if it’s young earth creationism, who are the god and goddess at the end? Not that old fart Jehovah…

    Any brewer who bottles beer in clear glass either doesn’t know beer chemistry or doesn’t care about the quality of their product.

    Beer in clear glass + exposure to light = skunky flavor

    This is beer? Looks like lemonade. ~:-|

    Why should this add tempt you PZ? It is not like you have any beach-ape like instincts, do you?

    That proves it then.

    In case you’re interested, comment 6 hints at something.

    Aww, don’t be hard on the good
    Professor- Google says all they
    have for liquor stores in Morris
    is the Muni. Though I wouldn’t be
    surprised if they carried Brau
    Brothers beer- they have a really
    nice Scotch Ale.

    Just as I thought. Anyplace is a good place to enjoy a fine brew. (One of man’s oldest and most successful creations.)

    Of course, one is advised to wait for the ambient temperature to fall to a suitable level . . .

    I am enjoying the current beer at a temperature of seventy six degrees. Pity I’m not on a beach. It’s snowing beyond the window. Fine with me and this beer.

    Salute, and happy days.

    Off topic, but I must tell you of the Dead Cowboy Toast. So called because it was told to me by a cowboy who has since died.

    “The fleecy clouds may kiss the sky.
    The rose may kiss the butterfly.
    The deep red wine may kiss the glass,
    And you, my friends,” (dramatic pause)
    “Fare well.”

    Gets ’em every time.

    E Pluribus Unum

  14. William Gulvin says

    Of course, if you’ll notice, it would seem that neither of the people have consumed any of the stuff. They just set the full bottles there for the ambiance. Really not surprising, either. Corona. Blech! “Mexican” Budweiser.

    However, as such things go, it’s a nice ad.

  15. J. G. Cox says

    Of course, anthropically speaking, it’s amazing the complex series of events that was required to give these two people a suitable environ to drink their beer.

  16. Charles Soto says

    Corona is for the gabachos. There are much finer Mexican beers, many of which are also appropriate for the beach…

  17. Rich F says

    And, in keeping with E Pluribus Unum’s toast, here’s another one I’ve used from time to time:

    Here’s to you and here’s to me
    And never may we disagree
    But if by chance we ever do
    Then here’s to me…and to Hell with you!

    Hasn’t quite got the twist of E’s, but it’s useful at the proper event….

  18. mayhempix says

    It’s a “macro micro brew”.

    But I’m partial to Bohemia and Negra Modelo myself. Bohemia constantly wins or places in the top 3 in international competitions driving the Germans and Belgians crazy.

  19. autumn says

    Rich F,
    The way I always say it is
    “Here’s to you and here’s to me
    the best of friends we’ll always be.
    But if, by chance, we disagree,
    Then fuck you, here’s to me.”

    A little saltier, but my four year old loves it.
