Mixed feelings as Billy Dee Williams returns
Ordinarily, the return of Billy Dee Williams in Colt 45 ads would be met with unbridled if largely sarcastic glee. Not so in St. Louis, however, where the new Colt 45 ads on bus shelters are under fire for failing to adhere to city advertising standards. They apparently don't mention the legal drinking age or the many potential hazards of alcohol consumption. That's bad enough, but nor do the ads spell just how many chicks you'll get by slugging back a bunch of Colt 45 tallboys. That's just as egregious. |

Uhm...anybody else see the similarity between Billy Dee and KFC's Colonel?

Works every time?
I can tell your from personal experience that Colt 45 works exactly one time out of 23.
And that one is usually a 70-year old from Froggy's in Daytona Beach.

It kinda looks like Shepherd Fairey.
Malt liquor we can believe in.
