Bringing Up Babe

Has anyone seen the Bud Light commercial (it airs during NFL games and MLB playoffs) where George Herman "Babe" Ruth calls his shot . . . but he's really pointing at a beer vendor and saying "Yeah, that's what I'm talking about" in a stupid man's accent?
For those of you (read: most of you) who don't know baseball, this moment is and was one of the most hotly contested and simultaneously incredible moments in all of human history. The Babe reportedly stepped out of the box and pointed at something - either the Cubs's bench or centerfield - before knocking the next pitch into the bleachers, right where he had pointed. Maybe.
Now we're dubbing audio over the clip with idiotspeak and replacing the defiant point at the jeering Chicago fans with "Oooh, a hot dog?" While we're at it, why don't we have a commercial where a dying FDR finds the strength to stand up out of his wheelchair and finally walk, only to end up at a party and do a keg stand?
