Perfect casting: Charlie Sheen in a Bavaria beer commercial

Didn't have a Celebrity Saturday post this weekend, so I owe you one.

This spot starring Charlie Sheen is hilarious — and very smart advertising, IMHO.

Now that's a cow with attitude

Nice logo for the Brewer's Cow.

Though I'm not sold on the idea of a six-pack of beer-infused ice cream.

Absolut-ly weird

Here's a weird video from Absolut vodka. The soundtrack is from Swedish House Mafia.

The link below will take you to youtube where you will first see a cool 30-second commercial that was made from the 3 1/2-minute video.

Personally, I think the video could use some editing to tell the story faster. But it's still fun to watch.

The partnership between Beringer white zinfandel and singer Michael Buble lasted a few years but apparently ended last year. How did I miss this craptastic pairing?

The Budweiser Super Bowl ad that will only play in Canada tomorrow

During tomorrow's Super Bowl, Canadians will get to see this Budweiser spot.

Bud told two rec hockey teams that some documentary filmmakers wanted to shoot their game. But after the warm-up, professional announcers and a rowdy arena-packing flash mob arrived to give the players a taste of what it would be like to play in the NHL.

If you're a hockey player or fan, you'll choke up.
