CHICAGO Miller Brewing Co.’s “Catfight” TV spot featuring two voluptuous women engaged in a knock-down, drag-out mud fight over whether Miller Lite tastes great or is less filling has generated some backlash, but the brewer doesn’t plan changing the ad, a Miller representative said.

The commercial from Ogilvy & Mather in New York has been airing during National Football League playoff games this month.

The spot was debated on CNN’s Crossfire with James Carville, where the founder of Savior’s Alliance for Lifting the Truth, Christine O’Donnell, said she found the ad “utterly offensive” and Miller irresponsible.
