Into the lion's den...
The producers of this beer commercial borrowed a small 150 seat cinema playing a popular film, and filled 148 of its seats with rough-looking, tattooed bikers, leaving only two free seats in the middle of the theater. They then allowed theater management to sell tickets for the last pair of seats to several young couples.
What would you do?
Watch till the end...

And so it goes...

Oh yeah, I'd take those seats with my date.
I have no problem being around "bikers" like that. I'm not a 1%er (as far as MC riders goes) in any sense of the word, but guys like that, are some of the nicest guys and have the biggest hearts out there.
The couples that turned away, followed the saying .... "People Fear What They Don't Know". Sucks to be them, IMO.

Prost!
Made me smile. 
Honestly, the few real bikers that I've met from some of the well known clubs in this country are actually ok people as long as you're not from a rival organization.

Agreed - I'm always impressed by the turnout for charity rides and the enthusiasm for helping out sick kids displayed by guys such as those in the ad.
My wife and I would've definitely taken those seats. It'd be interesting to know which movie was showing.

Got there late
See, that's the problem with getting someplace late.
You don't get to pick your seats.
