I Guess "Shill-Bud" Was Already Taken

NEWS ITEM: The three-week-old star of Budweiser's Super Bowl ad now has a name: Hope.

Anheuser-Busch said that its contest to find a name for the foal born Jan. 16 at the company's Clydesdale ranch in mid-Missouri generated more than 60,000 tweets, Facebook comments and other messages. Hope was one of the more popular names generated through the social media effort.

Other suggestions were nods to the song featured in the commercial, including Landslide — the name of the song — and Stevie — for Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks.
