Watch the bizarre Will Ferrell Super Bowl ad that only played in three cities
Will Ferrell is in another Old Milwaukee beer ad. RadarOnline reports that the commercial, which aired during last night’s Super Bowl, was broadcast only in Glendive, Montana; Sherman, Texas; and Ardmore, Oklahoma. The minute-long shot consists of a tank-top donning Ferrell aggressively making out with a woman in a bus.
The commercial is part of a larger, low-budget collection that the comedian did for parent company Pabst Brewing Co. in September 2011 for free. “Will approached Old Milwaukee because he’s a big fan of the beer and thought it would be fun to make the commercials,” said Pabst Brewing’s chief marketing officer Bryan Crowley in Nov. 2011. The commercials were uploaded online and played on local stations in Davenport, Iowa.
“Old Milwaukee makes a product to get you drunk,” says Ferrell. “It’s good in eight or nine or ten samplings, you can’t just enjoy one.”

Chuck Hagel’s Ties To Another Controversial Nominee, Chas Freeman
Board members at The Atlantic Council. Freeman rises to Hagel's defense.

WASHINGTON — The brewing storm over President Obama’s chosen Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, is reviving a bitter battle from early in the president's first term: The intense and successful campaign against the appointment of veteran diplomat an foreign policy “realist,” Chas Freeman, to head the National Intelligence Council.
Like Hagel, Freeman drew intense opposition from neoconservatives and Jewish groups concerned with his skepticism of the U.S. relationship with Israel, but in both cases the fight may be decided on other fronts. In Freeman's case, quotes that made him appear sympathetic to China's regime helped kill the nomination. Hagel has apologized for shots at gays.
Less well known is the fact that the men don't just share a narrative: They worked together at the same organization after Freeman dropped his bid for the intelligence board. Hagel served as chairman of the Atlantic Council, while Freeman returned to its board in 2000 and 2010. (Freeman was a longtime board-member, taking time off when he was under consideration for the NIC job, an official at the group said; his name appears on its IRS filings from both 2009 and 2010.) And the repetition offers a glimpse of the bitter, institutional fight underlying the battle over Hagel between two entrenched foreign policy world-views — and the extent to which Hagel's ascent offers traditional realists, who put national interest ahead of human rights or values, a chance to refight battles lost early in the first Obama term.
Freeman, who bitterly blasted the “Israel Lobby” in 2009, has Hagel's defense, telling the liberal foreign policy bloggerJim Lobe that “History is indeed repeating itself with Sen. Hagel; this time, as Marx predicted, as farce.”
All of the elements I noted in my statement of withdrawal in 2009 are there: “The tactics of the Israel Lobby plumb the depths of dishonor and indecency and include character assassination, selective misquotation, the willful distortion of the record, the fabrication of falsehoods, and an utter disregard for the truth. The aim of this Lobby is control of the policy process through the exercise of a veto over the appointment of people who dispute the wisdom of its views, the substitution of political correctness for analysis, and the exclusion of any and all options for decision by Americans and our government other than those that it favors.” None of this has changed, including the effort to make the campaign appear to be about something other than obeisance to Israel. (China in my case; so far gay rights — with more likely to come — in Sen. Hagel's.)
Freeman remains an intense critic of the Israeli government, and wrote last month that Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza was tied to the country's coming elections.
“It's popular in Israel to kill many Palestinians in Gaza…a war against Hamas wins votes,” he said.
