There is a Labatt's poster with a computer handing a can of beer
to a guy. There's a wireframe hand (holding the beer),
and lower arm extending from the monitor, and some silly dialogue
on the screen, close to what the computer says on the Wrigley's 
commercial. However, I think the computer is the instigator.
(Let's go for a beer, eh?)

(For non-Canadians/non-beer-drinkers out there - Labatt's is a
Canadian brewing company.)
