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.)
