Wild Turkey Flips People the Bird

This Wild Turkey ad, the first in the brand’s 157 year history, is as cheesy as the characters who, apparently, drink the stuff. Except, of course, for the hottie with the gigantic breasts that completely distracts for the first few seconds of the commercial.

The ads, debuting today, play up on the brand’s name with the tagline, “Give ‘Em The Bird.” Spots will air on ESPN, Comedy Central, Spike, TNT and TBS.

Believe it or not, the spot, created by Fly Communications, is directed by Bob Giraldi who directed Michael Jackson’s Beat It and Jackson’s 1984 Pepsi commercials.
