Ha ha. Hey Coors, I fixed your copy for you:

I know. I'm working on it. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THIRSTY MINERS????
Damn it Derek. I'm a coal miner, not a professional television actor.
Thirsty minors? Sounds like my kind of party.
Consecutive zingers! Well done.
Well, you sort of fixed their copy...I doubt they deleivered much beer to Leadville in 1873 because there wasn't a town named that until 1877. Durango was established in 1880. Cripple Creek mining district is usually dated around 1890. I think the PR firm who made that ad was being paid with some skunky, unpastruerized Coors from 1873 that made them, well, just a bit stupider than usual.
If I'm wrong, Coors, please prove it. Show me shipping information or invoices to establishments in any of these three cities from 1873- or your ad is pure mountain bullshit.
