Fantasy Frolics

Those who miss Game of Thrones' particular brand of high fantasy violence and romance (we don't talk about the final season) may enjoy this offering from Heineken Silver. The brand present a snippet of a Viking drama, in which a king discovers a local miscreant putting the moves on his beloved daughter.

There's additional bad blood between the characters, of course, as the lad's family are accused of two heinous crimes: torturing the man's first wife... and stealing his favourite goat. We have to assume they're on par in this fictional version of ancient Norse society.

Thankfully, further bloodshed is avoided by sharing a can of the advertised tipple, turning the rageful chief into a huggable father in law in an instant. Many watching will wish they had a similar shortcut to getting into their in laws' good books, as the application of alcohol rarely improves such relationships in dramatic fashion.
