Well, this 41-year-old punk rocker says that it’s too bad they didn’t wait until the ad in question (seen below) ended up on British television and worldwide YouTube before making their snap judgments. A very, very entertaining advert, indeed.

This had to be a British ad producer’s dream. When you’re doing a commercial and you get a certifiable legend whose mere presence can command every camera in a 100-yard radius to star in it, you’ve already scored major points before you shoot a single frame of film or DV tape. The fact that the butter company the ad represents openly supports its country’s farmers doesn’t hurt either.
