by Karl Greenberg 1 hour ago |

"But the wrinkle in all of this is the shift in the mood of the country and how advertisers will respond. And I think advertisers who try to be too flippant in this environment will miss the mark." He predicts Anheuser-Busch will stick to more iconic imagery along the lines of last year's Clydesdale spot.
