Helen Mirren Takes On Drunken Driving
Budweiser is doing something it has not done in more than a decade, and it's getting help from British actress Helen Mirren.
One of their Super Bowl ads is a straight-forward campaign taking on drunk driving. In it, the English actress very eloquently throws out unique insults for people who drive drunk.
The last time the beer company did an anti-drunk driving Super Bowl spot was in 2005.
Budweiser also plans to run a spot featuring their traditional Clydesdales.
