No loss. I hate Bud Light and Budweiser too. Both give me a headache after half a can. I must be allergic to something in it.

I thought I was the only one!  Bud products give me a headache.  It's the only beer brand that does that. 

First beer i tried was Natural Light.  Drank several -- no headache.

When I started college, all the keg parties had Budweiser pretty much every time.  Caused headaches and also nausea.  Didn't matter how little I drank.

After a few parties to see if I could get used to it, I started drinking other brands if available or brought my own.

Waiting for the new ad campaign claiming Bud Light is really Budweiser that's transitioned from beer to light beer.

I remember back in the day AB added coal tar to the budweiser beer formula.
If this is still being done then their beer is not a "green" product since its made with
a coal by product.

Important only in the sense of how our culture is being hijacked by less than 3% of the population.

I remember when Bud Light marketed to men and had some very funny commercials.

https://youtu.be/t9VxYfHfz-Q


i didn't know this Dylan person-thing until seeing Brett Cooper's videos about him/her/they/it.

Brett basically calls it a fake trans person -- someone who became a character to take advantage of the trans movement for the fame and fortune it's garnered.

It would be tough for these people to appeal to sober folk.  Makes sense they would promote drinking.

i'm all for self-expression and living in a way that makes them happy as long as it's legal and doesn't hurt anyone else.

What I question is the constant need by certain companies and brands to try and capitalize on people with possible mental defects.

So how come downs people are excluded. Guess theyre not special enough to get a promotional deal.

 a dude  selling tampons makes as much sense as a guy with downs selling an air conditioner.

The kicker is, if a fetus tests positive for the additional chromosomes that cause down syndrome, the mother has the option to abort.

Imagine if someone develops a test that accurately predicts a child is Trans.  The uproar from people aborting those "defective" people would be deafening.


I remember a TV episode (think it was on Law & Order) where a Gay man killed a scientist who claimed he was close to identifying the "Gay gene".  Same implication.  If being LGBTQ+ has a genetic cause that can be tested for, how long before the abortion zealots and LGBTQ+ activists implode?

according to the associated press, the firing of the AB marketing team was a satire
=============
CLAIM: Brewing company Anheuser-Busch fired its entire marketing department in response to its partnership with a transgender influencer and the rollout of LGBTQ Pride-themed Bud Light cans that feature various pronouns.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The claim about the marketing department initially spread as satire but some social media users shared it as real. Anheuser-Busch has not fired its marketing team, the company confirmed in a statement. Further, the cans were part of a limited rollout marking Pride Month in 2022 in Canada, and aren’t connected to the brand’s partnership with social media star Dylan Mulvaney.

I suspected that some people would disappear quietly instead of being fired.
Firing someone would cause a backlash.
Making someone disappear is how various organizations deal with problematic people.
Especially in public relations.....Like Biden's press secretary.

You are talking about the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind.

This person is a characakture of a girl -- a biological male who tried various other YouTube content themes to become famous.  Pretending to be transgender got him/her the most attention, so that's what he/she has decided to pretend to be.

Many commentators have noticed how fake this person is, how much of a stereotype of a "girl" he's tried to portray, and how offensive this person's behavior should be to actual girls and women given the over-the-top traits he's adopted.

Don't try to apply reasoning to his/her statements.  Everything is coming from an ill mind.

The Six Billion Dollar Trans

"Billion"?  I hope not.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted over 30 years ago.  It allowed the disabled to enter the workforce without discrimination.  That act was primarily responsible for how the public views and treats the disabled in society, which included disbanding the practice of circus freak shows.

I can't help but equate today's promotion of people like Mulvaney with a modern day freak show.

Quote
Dylan is a male given name and surname of Welsh origin. It means "son of the sea”
or "born from the ocean".[1] Dylan ail Don was a character in Welsh mythology, but the
popularity of Dylan as a given name in modern times arises from the poet Dylan Thomas.
In Wales, it was the most popular Welsh name given to boys in 2010.[2]

As a first name, it is sometimes spelt Dylann
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dylan_(name)

Are there famous females named Dylan?  A dozen or so, and surprise!  80% are actresses!

Kind of adds to the "not actually transgender" persona.

Just thought that was interesting.  Bruce Jenner and almost all other trans women change their names.  It's such a normal thing, they refer to their birth name as their "dead name" -- another attempt to confuse, I guess.

"Anyway, women claim that these “trans women” are invading their “woman spaces”. Shitting all over their bathrooms, taking their sports scholarships for sports nobody watches, flashing their boobs on Instagram and getting a reaction for it, basically getting attention and money from men that otherwise should rightfully belong to women. Men are the bankers of attention after all, and these trans women are robbing the robbers!"

The criticism I read/saw from women is more about the caricature he displays of women.  Real women do not act or behave like he does.  He's behaving like some dim blonde high school character in a movie.  It's like he created a list of stereotypes, and that's the persona he is portraying, much like how Black Face is a stereotype of Blacks.

I've heard several people call what he does "woman face" to drive that point home.

Also, if you think about it, he's 26 and just finished posting his 365 days of Girlhood to chronicle his supposed transition.  That means he sees himself as a child -- a one-year-old girl ... not a woman.  He's also made videos about his "bulge" and how to try and hide in in swimsuits.  That tells everyone he's not seriously considering having reassignment surgery.

I'd call him an attention whore, but that could possibly offend actual whores -- and not much offends them!!

But he looked like he could kick my ass everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.

That's one difference between Liberals and Conservatives. 

Liberals, like the bar owner that kicked out paying customers, will berate you for having a "wrong" opinion or belief.

Conservatives will let you express your opinion, sometimes try to present arguments to help persuade you to their opinion, but ultimately know you have the right to your opinion and let it go at that.

If he's that buff, chances are he's either a conservative who doesn't care what other people think, he's a Gay Liberal, or the price of Bud Light was better than the others.  Some people don't follow politics and only care about doing what's in their immediate self interest.

i've seen a reporter's viral pic from Costco:

"Fournier’s photo showed 36-packs of Bud Light 12 oz cans on sale for only $14.97"

That's under $0.42 per can before sales tax  I've read that a 24-pack of Bud Light used to be $18.97.  That's $0.79/can.

Haven't seen where this Costco is located, but apparently Sam's Club and Costco have the lowest prices everywhere. 

Current Costco "experts" claim a price ending in .97 indicates it is a discounted price.

"Fournier’s photo showed 36-packs of Bud Light 12 oz cans on sale for only $14.97"

That's under $0.42 per can before sales tax  I've read that a 24-pack of Bud Light used to be $18.97.  That's $0.79/can.

Haven't seen where this Costco is located, but apparently Sam's Club and Costco have the lowest prices everywhere. 

Current Costco "experts" claim a price ending in .97 indicates it is a discounted price.

The CEO of A-B finally made a public statement.  Did he apologize?  Nope.

He basically blamed an 'outside ad agency' who approved the partnership with Mulvaney "without management awareness", and

that the partnership was not a "campaign" and only involved that one YT video with Mulvaney.

Funny how the A-B VP and her boss were put on "a leave of absence", yet it was another agency's fault?  Hmmmmm.

No apology, no true facts.  Just more evidence of how stupid they think the public is.

Anheuser-Busch:  "Yes, we acknowledge that we are the managers of this corporation.

But ahem, we had no idea about this ad campaign and the partnership that resulted.  Oh, excuse me while I adjust my Clown wig and Bozo nose........."

I just came back from Longs and I saw a guy with a 12 pak of Bud Light in his wagon.  According to YouTube I was supposed to berate him and make fun of him and tell him to boycott the beverage.

But he looked like he could kick my ass everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.

THE FREE BEER EXPERIMENT

Quote
OutKick founder Clay Travis conducted an experiment over the weekend where
he offered various cans of free beer at a concert, concluding that drinking Bud Light
is now taboo in public.

Travis posted several videos of his cooler throughout the night as a "weekend experiment"
at a concert in the Nashville area. The experiment allowed those who passed to "Pick
which beer you want."

"No one would take the Bud Light all night long. Big issue going forward for Bud Light
is many don’t even want to be seen with product. They just pick another brand," he said.

I'm really tired of people boycotting Bud Light being called names like "trans-phobic."

How can they be trans-phobic?  Look at how fast they all transitioned away from Anheiser-Busch!

All of this makes perfect sense, only what does it have to do with Dylan Mulvaney?  He's not a pretty woman OR an ugly woman.  He's a 26-year-old man pretending to be a teen girl.

And since the primary age demographic of his followers is around 15, he's also marketing alcohol to minors.

Until and unless he has top and/or bottom trans surgery, he's just a man pretending.  He can always change his mind and live as a Gay man again.

Weeks later, Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Michel Doukeris told investors in a call that there was no partnership with Mulvaney and that only “one can” was produced with Mulvaney’s face. In a subsequent Financial Times interview, Doukeris claimed that the slumping Bud Light sales were sparked by social media-driven “misinformation.”

...

Continuing, the CEO said that people believed it was a campaign. “It was not: it was one post. It was not an advertisement,” he remarked, contradicting the #budlightpartner hashtag that Mulvaney had written.

I recall reading a statement from the ceo saying that bud Light is a small portion of their business so it is insignificant. ...no problem then.

However, if they are desperate enough to give out rebates aka free beer, then I have no problem taking some free beer..

Many Bud Light fans (former?) are smart enough to know what other brands are under Anheuser-Busch and are opting out of those as well.

Ab execs can say whatever they want, but the pain is being felt all across the board.

Too bad they also have foreign markets like Japan.  Go to a Waikiki ABC store and see how much higher the Budweiser products are marked up.  Japanese visitors love it.

When I went to Japan for work, the local US military base was having a community appreciation day.  The sports field was surrounded by all the units stationed there each selling food and beverages -- especially beer.  The locals were buying Budweiser by the case, I'm sure in part to sell and make money.  It was crazy.

I guess AB has that American-style marketing in all countries.  i wonder if Dylan is planning a world tour?   :rofl:

Kroger and Target stores are your best bet in other states.  i checked the 2023 Super Bowl rebate rules, and Hawaii was not in the list of states that could redeem the coupons/QR codes.

He is deflecting the issue as if people are upset at a 'single can with his face.'

The issue is the fact they chose to partner with this joke of a transgender at all.  AB only looked at the label "trans" and the number of followers to try and bring those followers into the AB fold of consumers.

If they'd bothered to research, they would have seen Mulvaney for what he is: an attention-seeking influencer on social media who only transitioned for clicks and fame.  He is an actor portraying the most irritating characakture of a woman.  He acts like a gay man more than any woman I've ever known.  Also, his followers are mostly teens in the 15 year old range.  Trying to market alcoholic beverages to underage kids isn't the best look for AB.

So, screw that "only one can" attempt at downplaying the real issue.  We all know better.

yeah. anybody that took public speaking 101 knows that the attention span of your audience is about 7 minutes at best.

It's even worse if you're sitting at home in front of a screen watching somebody talk into a camera.

At firearm safety classes you try to lecture a little, then ask your students questions to regain their attention. Like mini pop quizzes.

At Squadron Officers' School, we had several speeches to research, prepare and present.  If memory serves, we were limited to 5 minutes per speech.  I would have my slides on the PC & displayed on a large TV (this was in the 80s, so i was the only one who didn't use butcher paper!).  i would place my watch next to the mouse with a list of topics and times.  That way I could check how I was doing time-wise each time I went to the next slide.  We all practiced over the weekend with each other to get feedback and to rehearse.  Since going over time was an instant Fail, students would help each other during the presentation by giving 'hurry up" signals when we were close to the 5 minute mark.

Even at 5 minutes, it was difficult to keep everyone's attention.  I could tell some were off in space within the first minute!   :geekdanc:

Some people will only drink what they are have grown accustomed to, which often means the brands they choose are in 99% of bars and stores -- thus ensuring they can always buy it no matter where they are.

it's the same with Coca Cola drinkers.  When they ask for a Coke, and the server asks if Pepsi is okay, about half the time they will pick something else like water.  Some do it because they really don't like the other soda's flavor, and others do it to make a statement - that the business needs to carry what they like or lose a sale.  Soda and alcohol have huge markups in restaurants and bars, so losing a sale cuts into the profits.

Bud Light executives LIED to the public about the business relationship (or to hear them tell it "lack of any relationship") they had with Mulvaney.

Also, the amount of money paid to him was not "four or maybe five figures" as reported by the intermediary marketing company Captive 8.  He was paid $185,000, which kind of debunks Bud Light's story that they only sent him "one can" with his face on it "as a gift", and that there never was any marketing campaign involving him.

Interesting to see how Crowder's investigative team unraveled this mess and shows how the media pushed the misinformation and lies in order to gas light conservative into believing the boycott was (a) not effective and (b) based on a non-existent Bud Light agreement with Mulvaney.

Never trust anyone with something to lose or gain when they tell you something that doesn't pass the smell test.
