The ad features Mills sailing on his yacht and grilling lobster tails and playing with his hair. This is defamatory. First of all Mills is on a boat far too small for someone of his wealth. The most falsified part of the ad, though, is the way Mills grills his lobsters. They are just sitting there on the grill.
As a fellow rich guy who loves fine dining that the common people can't afford, I know a little something about grilling lobsters. The key to great grilled lobster is the marinade. Butter or olive oil provides a fatty liquid base, and lemon juice and spices really bring out the flavor of the succulent lobster meat. In order to for the marinade to work, the lobster needs to be freed from inside the shell. This is accomplished by splitting the shell down the middle lengthwise, then pulling the lobster out, until only the end closest to the tail remains inside the shell. The meat is then set "piggyback" on top of the shell. Here is a youtube video showing how it is done.
The advantage of this approach is twofold. As mentioned above, it makes the lobster meat accessible so that one can add the marinade. The other advantage of this approach is that it moves the meat further from the heat source, allowing it to cook more slowly, preventing scalding and producing succulent meat that melts in your mouth.
One wonders where the people running this ad got their recipe for cooking lobster. I'd say if there is a millionaire department store heir too dumb to know how to correctly grill a lobster it is much more likely to be Governor Mark Dayton. And he doesn't even have nice hair.
