AbInBev Doesn't Like Free Advertising - Sometimes

ABInBev is asking Paramount to obscure their logo in Denzel Washington's lastest flick, Flight. "We would never condone the misuse of our products, and have a long history of promoting responsible drinking and preventing drunk driving.

Smirnov and Absolut have done the same.
