The Moral Decline of America is exemplified by two different A-B commercials, 20 years apart

[Flash]

And because the advertising industry is SOOOOOOO moral and trustworthy right?

I hate to tell you this but all these people pissed of at Bud Light will most likely be drinking it next week

Unfortunately you may be right. There is not much moral clarity in this country any more.

For instance, all these weak minded so called Patriots that were pissed at the NFL for being disgusting woke assholes a couple of years ago are watching the games now. Nobody says anything about the goddamn Negro Insurrection or the stolen election. It is like those things never happened.

This country is turning into a Socialist shithole and we Americans are not doing much about it.

Too bad, the US was once a great country but we don't have the courage to make it great again. That ship has sailed. Hell, we don't even have the courage to seal the border from a massive invasion of welfare queens. All of the once great American cities have turned into crime ridden shitholes.

Like Ben said, "a Republic, if you can keep it". Looks like we have no intention of keeping it.

I guess those big footed horses were too macho for the sissies who seem to run the corporations these days.

 

[Mr Natural]

Wait until you see the commercials they come up with 20 years from now.

By all means. Those breathtaking horses are an iconic emblem of strength, hard work and perseverance.

Everything the leftist vermin passionately reject.

The thread really isn’t about Budweiser. It’s about the decline in America as illustrated by the advertising shown by the same company two decades apart - 1) a touching commercial showing the beauty of our country, the backbone of the nation that makes us strong, our unity as Americans, and our sympathy for those killed by Islamic terrorists compared to 2) a commercial that mocks the majority of Americans by normalizing aberrant behavior and ignoring their customer base to pander to 1% of the population.

Not really. It's about advertising executives making a call at what they think will increase market share. The first is an appeal to the patriotic hearthstrings following a tragedy. The other is an attempt to tap into a market underrepresented in their brand.

Both are crass attempts to manipulate.

The market underrepresented are trans-genders, who are perhaps 1/3 of 1%? Doesn’t make sense to alienate a large section of your traditional customer base - the blue-collar working class - to go after such a miniscule demographic.

Nope, I think it’s just a young MBA from “woke” Harvard letting her liberalism trump any business sense she might have.

It's about appealing to an under taped market. Do you really think the types that are upset about that drink Bud Light? The calculation is that they will gain more customers than lose.

Except they didn’t. They lost sales and market share - and significantly. If the marketing director with an MBA from Harvard “calculated” that a massive advertising campaign targeting a weird 0.3% of the population was wise, she should be fired.

And as far as the “types” upset with that? You don’t think the traditional, blue-color working class, Bud’s primary demographic, are upset? Of course they are. And that is why sales have plummeted.

Thus sayeth a true disciple of St. Edward Bernays.

Advertisers belong to the parasite class, along with politicians, doctors and lawyers. Anyone who accepts any of their agenda-driven drivel as necessary and relevant to the REAL world needs to be confined for deprogramming.

When the adults take back the keys of the asylum, it will be set right.

"Under taped" market?

Looks like an ad for both Bud Light and 3M!

Looks like you're a beer behind in the drinking game, buddy.

Has she lost her job yet? This is going to be fun to watch.

Not sure, but the fact that she’s white will make it easier to dump her.

Unless she's a lesbian or "identifies" as any kind of sexual deviant. That might complicate matters. Do you know?

Just looked her up. She’s straight, and a Christian. She’s a goner.

With only one point in her SJW tool box, that she's not male, she sure is.
