Michael J Fox To Do Budweiser Ads

Michael J Fox To Do Budweiser Ads
An early Fox pin-up poster shows the actor has been a longtime Bud fan.

NEW YORK (CAP) - Following in the wake of his deeply emotional and highly successful ads for Democratic candidates who support stem cell research, a spokesman for Michael J. Fox has confirmed that the actor will next weave up to the microphone for Budweiser.

"Michael has always been a fan of the King of Beers, so it was only natural that he'd jump, or something close to a jump, at this opportunity," said the spokesperson. "He will not be doing any ads with those big horses though. Large horses make Michael very nervous, and I think it goes without saying that you don't want to see Michael very nervous."

While specifics have yet to be ironed out, Budweiser is reportedly going to be giving $10 million to a variety of Parkinson's research groups in exchange for an unspecified number of ads that will be filmed over the next two years. Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with the disease in 1991.

For its part, Budweiser is thrilled.

"We saw him in those stem cell ads - the emotion, the honesty - and we immediately said That's our boy!" said Budweiser Marketing Analyst Roy Daniels.

As to what ads he would come up with since the Clydesdales were out of the picture, Daniels didn't see it being an issue.

"Sure it would have been nice if the Clydesdales were involved. Perhaps a nice holiday commercial, everyone in a big snow globe, yay here's Michael, that sort of thing. We do all kinds of commercials though, so it won't be a problem."

This will be Budweiser's first celeb-pairing since the notorious pre-rehab Rush Limbaugh commercial shoot back in 2003. Roy Daniels would not comment on the SPCA or Trojan Inc. lawsuits that are still pending over that incident, but did note that the Michigan Swine Bureau dropped its suit back in July.

Kanye West has canceled the release of his new album and pulled all existing copies in the wake of the birth of his daughter. "Oh my God, have you heard those lyrics I wrote?" he said. "I'm a dad now. I can't be all rapping about breasts 'n shit anymore." «» Parental advisory groups are up in arms over the naming of the new One Direction sports drink, simply called OD. "Other than their obvious lack of originality, it's the slogan we don't like," said Mothers Against Everything. "Have You OD'ed Today? isn't exactly the message we should be sending children." «» The battle between Rush Limbaugh and WABC heated up as the radio station blamed low ad revenues on Rush's sobriety. "Nobody gives a crap about his politics anymore," said a source. "What they want to hear is the crazy-ass shit he says when he's all hopped up on prescription drugs." «» Celebrity drunk Mel Gibson has come to the defense of Reese Witherspoon after the actress was charged with disorderly conduct during her husband's DUI stop. "That dyke didn't even use a single racial epithet," Gibson noted. "So the Jew media had better just leave that Episcopalian bimbo the hell alone!" «» Singer Carrie Underwood is facing vandalism charges today after digging her key into the side of a vehicle owned by Academy of Country Music chairwoman Sarah Trahern and slashing a hole in all four tires. "And maybe next time she'll think before she picks Entertainer Of The Year," Underwood said. «» President Obama has announced that Hispanics will be the next ethnic group unfairly targeted with racial profiling by federal law enforcement agencies. "We've done a pretty good number on Muslims over the past decade," Obama said. "I think it's time America took on a new challenge and broadened our horizons." «» With the recent flight of its fifth manned space mission, China is poised to become the first nation to successfully launch a fully operational orbiting forced labor camp. Astronauts on board the country's space station module will spend two years testing the effects of weightlessness on human rights abuses. «» New data released from the leaked NSA telephone surveillance tapes reveals that Americans are ordering out for pizza at an alarming rate yet not calling their mothers nearly as much as they should. However, hour-long conversations with fathers explaining how to open a Word document remain at an all-time high. «» A new study finds that teenagers who regularly use a baby pacifier are 95% less likely to become bullies than those who don't. The positive results come on the heels of Michelle Obama's new Binkies For Bullies program that aims to reduce incidents of bullying by turning perpetrators into targets. «» The Pentagon is accusing Chinese cyberspies of hacking the Twitter accounts of thousands of teenage girls after a flurry of mean, vindictive tweets surfaced. "We knew no one would ever purposefully post such awful things about their own friends," said one official. "So we figured it had to be China." «»
