I love it when I look up one of his references and learn that it’s even more appropriate than I expected:
The Spuds McKenzie ad campaign was not without its share of controversy. Shortly after Spuds’ rise to fame, it was learned that the dog, portrayed as male in the ads, was actually female. Politicians and advocacy groups criticized the ads for promoting consumption of alcohol by children. Soon after the ads first aired in 1987, Senator Strom Thurmond began his own media campaign, claiming that the beer maker was using Spuds to appeal to children in order to get them interested in their product at an early age. By Christmas 1987, more legal action resulted from Bud Light’s use of ads featuring Spuds dressed as Santa. Advertisements for alcohol beverages cannot reference Santa Claus in states such as Ohio.
