Miller & Sports Illustrated team up

Miller Brewing Co. put out a press release regarding their Sports Illustrated Swimsuit sweepstakes. A six-page ad in this year's Swimsuit issue gave tips to readers on how to prepare for a swimsuit shoot.

"Miller and Sports Illustrated are a natural association, as many of our drinkers are SI readers," said Michael Hand, director brand promotions, Miller Brewing Company. "This promises to be one trip the winners will never forget -- cold Miller beer, tropical sun and the chance to see some of the world's top models shoot the famous SI Swimsuit edition."

As far as we can tell, they won't be putting cameras in the hands of the winners. So why they need to know how to shoot a good shot is beyond me. But, it's nice illustration and follows suit of their illustrated "Ref" ads.

Hahaha! That looks pretty funny, I can't make out all of it but doesn't it read "good island = tropical, Bad island = Three mile." in there?

Yup! And underneath the illustrations it says: "Beginners beware: Pick a low-rent location, and you're back to manning the camera at the DMV."
