Stay thirsty

Not a gray area: Seeking to make its ads more appealing to younger beer drinkers, Dos Equis is dumping the 77-year-old pitchman known as the “Most Interesting Man in the World” for another actor (Page A7).

The Buzz trusts Dos Equis relied on statistics in making this change — like the one showing that Bernie Sanders, 74, captured 80 percent of the under-30 vote in the Michigan primary.

Look out, you tin-plated mechanical moron: Newly released video shows the first car crash apparently caused by a robot-driven vehicle, when a Google car collided with a city bus in Mountain View, California.

Which makes you wonder: Is there video of the first time a robot car was flipped off by a California driver for going the speed limit in the left lane on the freeway?

Scared straight: In a new reality TV series called “60 Days In,” seven volunteers who haven’t committed any crimes find out what it’s like to live inside a prison in Indiana.

Turns out it’s not too different from any other reality show in which contestants must live in a dormitory with cameras watching them around the clock.
