Bud Light sponsors Toronto Pride parade attended by naked men, children

I know I’ll probably take some heat for this, but apparently they’ve been sponsoring the Pride Parade for 10 years, and nobody cared until now. And in my opinion, naked men in view of children is the fault of the parents who took children to a Pride Parade.

Down here we have Mardi Gras, and if you take your kids to a classic Mardi Gras scene, they’re going to see some boobies and blow up dolls.”

Back then, all this Pride shit wasn't being rammed down everyone's throat by Governments/Media/Corporations.

It's time to double down on Bud Light and put the brand out of business.

Anheuser-Busch CEO: Still Supporting LGBTQ Activism




Bud Light will continue to support the LGBTQ community despite the fallout for partnering with transgender liberal activist Dylan Mulvaney, according to Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth.

"There is a big social conversation taking place right now, and big brands are right in the middle of it," Whitworth, a U.S. marine veteran and former CIA staffer, told "CBS Mornings" on Wednesday. "It's not just our industry or Bud Light. It's happening in retail. It's happening in fast food."

He added his company needs to "deeply understand and appreciate the consumer and what they want and what they care about and what they expect from big brands."

"Bud Light has supported LGBTQ since 1998, so that's 25 years," Whitworth said. "As we've said from the beginning, we'll continue to support the communities and organizations we've supported for decades."

Anheuser-Busch employees "are full of pride and they're full of commitment," Whitworth said. "It's the impact, honestly, on employees that weighs most on me."

Bud Light (BUD) is down 15.59% since the day before the Mulvaney marketing launch ($66.73 on March 31; $56.33 at June 27 close).

The stock's market capitalization is down $20.92 billion: $132.38 billion March 31 to $111.46 billion June 27, a decline of 15.12%.

On Wednesday, after Whitworth's appearance on CBS, the stock ticked down by another 1.12% to close at $55.90.

"As we move forward we want to focus on what we do best, which is brewing great beer for everyone, listening to our consumers, being humble in listening to them, making sure that we do right by our employees, take care and support our partners, and ultimately make an impact in the communities that we serve," Whitworth told CBS.

Whitworth said Bud Light "doesn't belong" in the "divisive conversation," lamenting the branding has "moved away from beer."

No, you're just full of shit.

Any time anyone talks about "having a conversation" you know they are absolutely full of shit, because the word "conversation" used in such a way is truly meaningless. It's just about the most meaningless thing leftists say, and that's saying something.

That crap makes me want to puke. Such phonies.

My Lord, this guy couldn't catch a clue if he drenched himself with clue pheromone and stood naked in the middle of a clue field at the height of clue mating season with a clue-call

^^^^^^^

I hope it was worth it chasing trannies and the rest of the Alphabet Mafia…LMAO


Bud Light To Permanently Lose Nearly 25% Of Its Business: Analysts

He can say that, but from the employees I know, I hear quiet backlash against Whitworth. They started Bud Light Friday, where they have special events and a happy hour. Many refuse to wear the Bud Light T-shirt and won't even attend the happy hour.

The "communities you serve" don't want you to "make an impact". They just want you to make beer.

Who "moved [the branding] away from beer"???
That was YOU, you f'ing moron!

People outside of academia and the C-suite don't have the time or the patience for every aspect of life being turned into a PRC style cultural revolution struggle session. AB can keep their shitty beer and ride their newfound notoriety all the way into the ground.

Oh no, this mentally ill dude is upset that Bud Light tossed him under the bus:

quote:

Speaking to her(his) 1.8million followers, she(he) said: 'I was waiting for the brand to reach out to me, but they never did. I've been scared to leave my house.

'For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse than not hiring a trans person at all.

'Because it gives customers permission to be as transphobic and as hateful as they want. There's should be nothing controversial or divisive about working with us.

'I have been ridiculed in public I've been followed and I have felt a loneliness that I wouldn't wish on anyone.'

'I love beer and I always have!': Dylan Mulvaney breaks her silence on $20 billion Bud Light fiasco to excoriate the troubled brand for NOT standing by her... and then claims she has lost THAT can

Well, THAT can was worth $20 billion. I would've held onto that!

What is so hard to just “do what you do”?

Let’s say I own a business, I make beer, or widgets or whatever…

Q- “What are your feelings on XYZ?”

A- “I don’t want to get involved with XYZ, I’m just here trying to make the best beer/widget I can so my customers can enjoy them.”

XYZ being politics, race, sex, religion or whatever divisive topic is out there…

It doesn’t seem that hard to understand. Stick to what you know, do it as best as you can, and stfu about everything else.

ESG

Environmental
Social
Corporate Governance

These asshats are making it impossible for businesses to just run their business.

Businesses now need to fight for a high ESG score to get loans, be placed in investment portfolios, and generally succeed. They fall over ever-changing woke ideology nonsense in order to try to increase their ESG score.

This is why a beer company can't just worry about making beer. It's why Chick-fil-A now has a DEI VP and why companies like In-N-Out (a very conservative Christian company) get attacked in the media and their ownership vilified.

ESG is the Elite's way of cramming their woke garbage down your throat whether you like it or not.

Also from that article:

She [Mulvaney] also explained that Bud Light approached her for the sponsored video, which is something that the company denied, claiming it was an external agency on their behalf.

AND... fired, or not?

It comes after claims that two Bud Light marketing executives had finally been fired over the fiasco - something which the company deny.

VP of marketing Alissa Heinerscheid, 39, and VP for Mainstream Brands Daniel Blake, 34, both took a voluntary leave of absence following the backlash.

But sources told the Daily Caller that both had been official fired following the announcement that they would be stepping back in April.

When approached by DailyMail.com earlier this month, a friend of Heinerscheid's said 'she's not supposed to talk about it, she can't.'

In a statement to DailyMail.com, a spokesperson for Anheuser-Busch said they were still both on a 'leave of absence.'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...s-torches-brand.html

It's difficult to comprehend giving up a massive amount of stock equity and killing the brand, damaging your distributors and their employees by continuing to deny the actions of A.Heinerscheid who berated the customer base of the product as the problem and instead continuing to blame the customers for not understanding how great AB's wokeness is for them.

One can only presume, outside of his pig headed attitude toward the customers who have left, that it's being driven by his Euro-based corporate overlords.

What CEO in their right mind would continue to press the accelerator when the bus is hanging over the cliff. Maybe he has a huge short position on AB....

Or as was said ESG, but really how much damage could the big investment houses do to AB stock compared to their current approach.

Which is completely ironic, since it hurts their business. So the value of those investment portfolios drop. Duh! Or...does it go even higher than that. I suspect it does.

Bud's CEO brendan whitworth sure does come off as a elitist tool. Guess that 7 million dollar apartment in new york city didn't do the beer salesman head much good.

When you find yourself in a hole, step #1 is STOP DIGGING. When the Good Idea Fairy struck Ford and they introduced the Edsel only to find it became a nationwide joke, they stopped making it.

Kill Bud Light. Six months from now, introduce Anhuiser Light. Or, AB light. Or, St. Louis Light. The latest, lightest, best brew ever.

Then STFU about the alphabet mafia and anything else except selling beer.

Oh, and send the consultant's fee direct to AITG.
