Once upon a time a long time ago, I was a bit of a Jackie Stewart fan. I like racing and fast cars as much as the next man.
I don't like the overly-righteous non-drinking individual. He waves off beer so often I would swear he is a member of the Temperance League. In fact, *I* want a beer because I am so tired of watching him 'act so responsibly'...then I want to run over him.. And the song sucks very, very badly. |

I've seen that one a couple of times.
I wonder where they got all that old film footage of him waving off offers of Heineken beers? I'm guessing it was done with computers somehow because the likelihood of there being that many pieces of film in existence, going back several decades at that, of him being offered Heineken beers and turning them down, is somewhere between slim and none. |

He waved off more beer in that one commercial than I've waved off in my entire life. Maybe twice or three times as much. Friggin' 'prude'.

I was just happy that he didn't talk much. I used to hate listening to his constant droning during a race. Actually, when I want to hear a nice Scots accent, I'll call up a recording of Sheena Easton! 😍
I don't drink at all, so hoist one for me also Pa. |

Sir Jackie knows his sh*t when it comes to motorsports, I have a lot of respect for him.
I made a new friend when I moved back to Indy. I was in the 10th grade. This Jewish guy, a couple of years older than me, turned me on to Karate. His hair and sideburns looked exactly like Jackie in those early shots. |

The idea is that Jackie Stewart doesn't drink and drive, not that he's a teetotaler. Heineken is advertising their product with the admonition to not drink and drive.
Thanks for butchering a perfectly wonderful David Bowie song! That's the bad part of the commercial!

No matter the blabberingbitch is still rattling out this terrible tune, I'm waiting for a 'CNN SPECIAL REPORT' where we all hear that Heineken has gone 'belly-up'. It's only a matter of time before one too many people have waved off their chance at drinking a Heineken.

What I hate you hate too...
*Should show him enjoying a Heineken after a victory. *Funky retro CGI. *Horrible song that applies in no way. *Kid offering a beer to a guest LEAVING the party. Is that a European custom or what? Jackie should have said to him, "Where were you when I arrived? I can't have a beer now, fool". You know Neil Patrick Harris would have clowned all over the kid. |

Welcome aboard and thanks for those thoughts. I took the liberty of 'Pawizing' your post - please forgive me. Why would I do such a thing? During my time and travels on this big ol'goofy earth, my view is that almost everything in the US of Trumpia is sanitized to the point of bland beyond belief and acceptable to all. which sometimes makes me wonder why the outside world looks at the EUA (USA) as 'The World' and 'Official Trend Setter'. It isn't uncommon for a drink before the ride home, especially if you are a passenger or riding around in some form of party trolley. |

I bet PaW would go for something like this. Trolley Pub MadisonThe first time I visited madison, I saw this thing called the Trolley
Pub rolling down the street. The riders were having the time of their
lives. Singing, yelling, drinking and pedaling their booties off. Quite
literally. https://www.yelp.com/biz/trolley-pub-madison-madison-3 |

Hey aka! YES I WOULD and, only as an FYI never forget during YOUR travels, trolley pubs are everywhere - and even any number of European streetcars are full-blown party wagons with full bars.
Private 'party wagons' tend to get busted as things can get out of hand pretty quickly. In many cities with beachfronts, there are trolley cycles where everyone sitting at the bar with feet has to peddle & pay for their drinks. I haven't done one of those yet, but I really want to and get really trashed but not let anyone see it while I influence their pities and get them to be so proud of having the opportunity of 'peddling for the old' (after about 1 beer, I might LOOK like I'm peddling, after about 3, I'll have others telling me to sit back and enjoy the while they pay for my drunk.

Name one person stupid enough to want one of those 'hobby cars' that will spend more of its life in a mechanic's garage than it will like a toad on the road?
