What to do with those empties - Mustang made from beer cans
We'll avoid the trite jokes about Jack Kirby's Mustang sculpture being a "nice car, bud." Ouch. There, it slipped out anyway. Now we can just move on. Rather than just stack up the red, white, and blue swill cans to the ceiling, as would most college students, the art and design scholar built a car instead. Kirby's chef d'oeuvre came to be when Budweiser rolled out its UK-only "Budbucks" promotion this summer – grand prize, a 1965 Mustang, Jack's favorite car. Whether or not he wins the contest, we bet it was one heck of a good time to consume the 5,000 beers that donated their containers. Then again, being a college student, he probably drank them all in one night, alone.

I'm pretty sure you'd have a hard time finding a British student drinking Bud, let alone *that much* Bud... :)

Is it 'art imitating life' or 'life imitating art'???
I'm now both confused and thirsty.

Why does that look a lot more like an old pickup to me than a 65' mustang? It doesn't look like a mustang at all...

Brings a whole new meaning to driving while intoxicated...
If Bud is cheap over there I can certainly understand why a college kid would drink it, British or not. Hell.. when I was in school we would drink Busch or (it pains me now to say it) Nati ice... When you're a college student quantity matters, not quality!

That's pretty cool. Yes Brit's do drink bud. It is kind of like American college students drinking keystone. A cheap buzz. That is probably all the cans from one party!

Just think. If he didn't spend all that money on over 4000 cans of beer, he could have bought a '65 Mustang.
