It takes a special type of stubborn STUPID to boldly forge ahead in the face of overwhelming evidence and feedback that your path is wrong.

Fixed it for you.

What's the saying about "If you find yourself in a hole..."?
Bud Light is all down in that hole with some heavy duty industrial excavation equipment.

Yeah, red blooded, no nonsense folks who are showing distain for the Bud Lite bullshit.

It's one thing to have your pavilion/tent and people come up to challenge your product or, issues. It's another thing all together when it gets completely ignored. Ostracism is a powerful action, everyone can see you but, they want nothing to do with you, may not even acknowledge you. The ancients were onto something.

I love it when a plan comes together. Let's bury all Anheuser-Busch products.

Billy Busch urged Anheuser-Busch InBev, 'Sell it to me. I’ll be the first in line to buy that brand back from you. And we’ll make that brand great again'

Good luck with that, Billy. I wouldn't drink Bud Light now REGARDLESS of who owns the company and if it was being given away for FREE.

A-B shit in their own mess kit on this one and has tainted the brand for ETERNITY...

It could be done, if they had the courage to do it, and run an internet campaign to bypass the FCC censors:

We see a closeup of beautiful blonde hair from the back- apparently a woman. The person turns and it's a guy with a full beard. As the camera pulls back to show him in a pink dress, he speaks with a deep voice:

"Hi, I'm Marissa RainOrShine and I know what's best for all you fratty boys."

He pauses for a moment, looking solemnly into the camera, then breaks into a broad grin, as he yanks off the dress and wig to reveal a world-class muscled physique, tanned and ripped, wearing only boxer shorts.

"Not really! I'm a dude!!"

As the backdrop raises to reveal the fratboy party for the ages- hundreds of college-age men and scantily clad women dancing and drinking Bud Light, two stunningly beautiful women in micro bikinis appear from stage left and right and he puts an arm around each as they nuzzle him and feel his pecs.

"C'mon back, guys! The party's ON!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!

He then pours a can of Bud Light on each of the two women with him as they giggle and dance.

As the camera pulls back and cranes up over the massive party, an announcer intones: "Bud Light: We're back!"


Thank you, thank you. I could fill in on the writer's strike.

That actually might work as an online campaign.

Seriously.

If it ruffles enough leftist feathers they will give you endless free advertising like they have done for Oliver Anthony (Rich Men North of Richmond)

If they managed to tap into the blue collar no bullshit tell it like it is mentality it could actually resonate so long as they flamed the shit head big wigs who caused the whole cluster.

Yes, it would have to be online. The FCC would plotz.

It may work but no company in the US would be able to stand up to the media and leftist backlash. None of them have the backbone for it. From their point of view this will eventually all blow over because controversy always has before. It's better to just let the brand die.

BTW: The seasonal Sam Adams Octoberfest finally made it on tap today at the local Hooters. Good lunch.

I think the tide is turning and people are getting tired of PC woke garbage. I think a corporation could withstand a woke scolding barrage on the internet because those woke fools have a damn short attention span.

Someone just needs to show other companies that it can be done. I think such a thing is not only likely but inevitable.

Not me. They're young enough that they can move on to another company that isn't in the business of pissing consumers off. If BL wanted to do better there, they would have had some scantily clad ladies handing out merch and drinks but that would be cliché and make too much sense Gotta know your audience and again, they miss by a country mile!

Bud Lite tried that, it's not scantily clad ladies anymore! That's why they're in the mess that they are in.

Tryin to reinvent the damn wheel. It wasn't broke until someone (Heinerscheid) tried to fix it.

Not blonde, and not singing with a low voice, but you'll see what I mean at 2:35

Somehow, somewhy, an unrequited vision of Lucy & Ramona with frosty cold cans of Busch Bavarian in their hands,

and their
brother, Sunset Sam, with a little stacked tower of Busch Bavarian cans on his little foldup display table has invaded my skull.

And now, I have the earworm ...

Kid Rock spotted drinking Bud Light months after shooting up cans of it to protest Dylan Mulvaney partnership.



https://www.foxnews.com/media/...mulvaney-partnership

Yeah, I saw that. That's a real big help. How stupid do you have to be? A celebrity in public- where everyone has two cameras and an internet connection- being a hypocrite- and on an issue we've been winning.

Goddamn, son Fucking brilliant

On the pure hypocrisy of it makes me wonder if AB paid him to pull this stunt as a way for them to get their base back?

Kid Rock ain't bringing one boycotter back to Bud Lite. Not one. There's nothing he could do by accident, let alone by design, that would make anyone think it's now OK to go back.

Doesn't matter. I'm still not drinking AB products if I know that's what they are.

Of course this won't change anyone's mind. Nevertheless, would it have been better that it hadn't happened?

There's a war of words involved in this, and this kind of thing helps us not in the least. A guy who shoots up Bud cans with a machine gun and is then seen drinking the product- come on. It doesn't help us at all. It suggests that we're as hypocritical as the left.
