COLLEGE. MAMMAL. BEER.

Sometimes I just love advertisers. Especially non-US ones. The things they can get away with in the name of humour....and yet still actually get away w/funny. We (america) just get lame-ass commercials (see 99% of all Uberbowl ads). ...not that one ad has ever ever made me buy anything.

Morty sent me this Molson commercial - so he gets the credit. All of it.

The word always reminds me of a time when my sister Adrienne was on some interview committee while at an all-girls college and how she couldn't stop laughing when screening a male candidate from Beaver College. Even as she relayed the story to me weeks/months later on a drive back from the airport she was laughing so hard she was in tears.

Eventually, "aiming to shed a source of ridicule and boost enrollment", Beaver College changed their name to Arcadia University. Probably not b/c of Ade.

Probably.

I once giggled through an entire "formal" dinner. The banquet facilty served Beaver (brand) butter with the rolls. Little silver packets proudly proclaiming themselves "Beaver Butter".
