Well, if you consider alcohol special then it is extra special. Bud Light is 4.2%, regular Bud is 5%, and Bud Light Platinum is 6%.

With respect to the whole GOP complaint regarding Clint Eastwood and the Chrysler ad, I thought [this tidbit](http://www.republicreport.org/2012/rick-berman-actor/) regarding the anti-union ad (seen in DC-area only) was interesting:

> This morning, Republic Report published a post revealing the backers of an anti-union ad that ran during the Super Bowl. We realized after publication that one of the actors playing a disgruntled union mechanic was actually Rick Berman, the consultant advising the anti-union lobbying campaign. A call to Berman and Company confirmed that Berman, who owns a $3.3 million dollar house and is known for his elaborate astroturf campaigns on behalf of big corporations, played the part of a mechanic in the ad.

ETA: If you didn’t see it, it’s online at [WaPo](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/arts-post/post/super-bowl-ads-the-5-must-see-ads-you-probably-missed/2012/02/06/gIQAukp6tQ_blog.html?wprss=rss_style).
