Silence

In a grand villa. A well-groomed, dignified old man is standing in front of the mirror getting ready for the day. A butler is helping him into his jacket. During this time we hear no sound, there is total silence. Finally the old man inserts his hearing aid and suddenly we hear all sounds perfectly clearly. You hear the barking of dogs and the chirping of birds.

Then the old man leaves his home. On the gravel drive his son is waiting with a new Mercedes, a silver E 220 CDI. The two men greet each other and the old men looks at the car with interest.

No sooner are they sitting in the car than virtual silence but for a quite, sonorous engine noise descends once more. The acceleration when pulling away presses the old man unexpectedly back in his seat. The young man hustles the car though the bends of a beautiful country road. We hear onley the sonorous, quit noise of the engine. Something seems to be bothering the older man. He listens intently, then fumbles with his hearing aid. It doesn't seem to be working properly. He turns the little wheel a bit further. But he's still not happy. He turns the little wheel a bit further. But he's still not happy and fumbles with it some more. The young man notices and asks, "Is everything alright?"

But the voice is as loud as thunder and the hearing aid whistles under the strain. The old man shudders. Now he notices that he has set his hearing aid far too loud and quickly turns down again.

Bounty

VO: Look at that bounty. Everything on the plate within the same uniform color range. If that isn't food for a man, who can say what is? Tuck into that golden plate special with the only beer that fits the life to which you're called: The High Life. This is your Miller Time.

Boat

VO: This is enough to put a High Life Man off his lunch. Time was, a man knew how to command his own vehicle. Just how far are we willing to fall? Better reacquaint yourself with the High Life, soldier, before someone tries to take away your Miller Time.

Mayonnaise

VO: It's hard to respect the French when you have to bail them out of two big ones in one century. But we have to hand it to them on mayonnaise. Nice job, Pierre.

Router

VO: Ever wonder what goes on inside that miracle worker you call a tool? Watch it take that edge right off. And when your router's done its job, here's something else to take the edge off. That's right. Here's to you, router.
