True. Good point.

I'm not really pissed at them. In my opinion, beer commercials are often
some of the best on TV (usually in terms of humor, that is). I just didn't
like this one. I'd bet you'd find quite a few more Rangies on trails than
Expudishuns and the like. Although the Road Rovers are still probably the
majority of Rangies and Discos.
I used to think that all beer tasted bad because I only had "standard"
American beers. Then I discovered "real" beer and learned that it _can_
taste good. Rover content: then I got a Rover (a Disco, though) and was
forced to go back to the cheap stuff!
Yours,
