Apparently they won't air this on TV due to complaints. I just don't see how it could offend anyone, what are your thoughts?

Maybe they're just lying and saying it they couldn't put it on TV. Maybe all they wanted to do is a viral marketing campaign, because TV ads are expensive.

Seems more likely than them not airing it because of an overwhelming number of complaints.

It would make a lot of sense. It would definitely make people watch it to see if they're offended or not, with the only result being a laugh and a desire for some Rolling Rock...

I know I want some Rolling Rock. I think I'll go get me some Rolling Rock right now.

If only I could get an ape to deliver some to me.

Yup. If you click the RR ad on the side (Click here if you were offended) it brings you back to the same vid. They are trying to be funny. Failing, but trying.

The only thing I found offending about it was that it wasted my time with it's suckiness.
