Castle Lite brews a beer that is too hot (or cold) to touch. Hence, the company has employed the song 'Can't Touch This' and it's singer for a new MC Hammer ad. The commercial will air in South Africa and definitely makes a comment on how enduring even a one hit wonder pop icon can be in today's society.
In the MC Hammer ad Stanley Kirk Burrell appears for the delivery of one line while sitting at the bar in a sequined gold outfit. You can only assume that those iconic parachute pants are being worn as well.
