Is it Time to Forgive Bud Light?

[fncceo]

Dylan was not a paid spokesperson for Bud Light. He/She was given a free beer can with his/her likeness. He/she did a podcast with the beer can. People wrongly assumed he/she was a paid spokesperson.

As it turns out, AB did pay Mulvaney $185,000 for his self-made ads for BL, a tiny molecule of what AB pays each year for advertising. ($1.53 Billion in the US alone).

There is nothing to forgive here. How AB spends their advertising dollars is none of my concern, and how I spend my consumer dollars is none of theirs.

I don't actually drink beer, so it's really none of my concern.

I would only add that with 500 brands of beers out there, why should I give a rat's ass about AB and Budweiser? Anyone who would veer so far off track with those ads insulting their own base like they did doesn't deserve a second chance.

That would be like taking a murderer and saying: "Well, maybe that was just a fluke." Any company with such poor judgement has something seriously wrong in their top management. It indicates where they'd LIKE to go.

So you don't mind having your senses assaulted around every turn, with commercials portraying such faggotry? I can't vouch for you bro, but I find that stuff offensive, demeaning toward women, and an outright attack against traditional values, Godly sexual morals, and my own manhood for that matter.

I would even go so far to say that I found their advertising campaign threatening. Now I know what the left would say about that: They would say that I am "insecure" in my manhood, which is the farthest thing from the truth. I am an ultra- straight, white, traditional male throwback who knows who he is and what he is. I have no doubts about my own male sexuality, and nothing to prove.

But for Anheuser-Busch to take such a traditional product and attempt to use it to destroy everything I was brought up to believe, was an outright attack on not only my values, but the same values that many others share. I saw that as an attempt to sow dissent, division, doubt, and confusion, which is what the enemies of my country do on a daily basis.

I suppose you see all kinds of people in your line of work, and you're bound by duty to be fair, equitable, and non-judgemental. But not everyone is bound to see everything in such a non-judgemental fashion, and I just found their advertising campaign unforgivable.

I'm done ranting now. Thank you for hearing me out.

A) It would take lot more than a pictures of some guy drinking beer in a dress to assault my senses AND

B) I don't actually watch the commercials ... I download shows or watch them on streaming (shhhhh .... don't tell)

I understand that. You've been subjected to things most people can't even imagine, I haven't. I can't just shut off my emotions, stuff it all down, and go about my business like you have to. I haven't even seen the commercial. But from what I know about the whole thing, it was just wrong.

It was a massive marketing misjudgement .. and AB paid the price, literally.

True. Now I want my straight-folks reparations. We is a minority who be on they way out, ya know. At least from what the left is sayin'.

I can't apply for reparations, I have nothing to repair.

Sorry, I didn't mean repairations.

BTW, did you know that President Donald J. Trump did more for minorities than Barack Obama and Joseph Robinette Biden together? As well as non-minorities too. And like those Democrats are fond of saying, "Everyone does better when we all do better."

That's a fact, Jack.

A little additional info.

He is a man. No matter how much he thinks he is a 4 year old girl, he isn’t. No twisting of the English language is going to change that. And HE was paid.
