    If the ad was actually funny, I would think people are being too sensitive. But it's not humorous to me at all. The company took a swing and missed so I say they deserve the backlash.

    From an Associated Press wire service story:

    IIRC, Coors used the "UniBev, Ltd" subsidiary for several other of their "crafty/faux-import/FMB" sorts of beers - including Killians (altho' the Coors version came out long before 1993), Zima and even the first contract-brewed Blue Moon beers out of F X Matt.
