Commercial Description

The spot begins with a group of friends in a bar gawking at the front page of a tabloid newspaper containing a sexually incriminating photo of one of the men and television host/actress Sofia Vergara. What follows is a series of explanations from the male character explaining what actually took place. The scene switches and focuses on Sofia Vergara in a crowded nightclub bumping into him and accidentally spilling her beer on his shirt. Sofia insists on helping him wash the
stain and removes his shirt in a private room while a sneaky photographer outside the window snaps away. His friends tease him and have a laugh over Miller Lite. The final slate on the spot reads “Es Miller Time,”or “It’s Miller Time.”
