Bud Light is the laser dot, and we're
the cat

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 5/13/2023 5:29:35 AM

A few years back, I had a cat that figured out that the laser pointer wasn't real. (snip) America is an endless laser show of red nothing dots. Manufactured outrage, "someone said this...be outraged," (snip) Take the spokes-man who will not be named, and Tranzheuser-Busch. Want to know what happened there? Nothing. Nothing at all. They sent a can to a man-child in a dress, and he drank a beer in a bathtub and filmed it. Yet everyone is willing to destroy the lives of employees and distributors who had less than nothing to do with the marketing stunt.

Oh please. They may get stuck with an order of Butt Lite, but they will increase their sales in nonTransheuser Butt brands. What #1 said.

FTA: As a matter of fact, children aren't allowed near the product. Dylan identifies, not as a "woman" but as a GIRL. So, in essence, Bud was giving beer to a child. It's sickening and I'm not worried about disgust fatigue. The Bud action is not mere ad campaign, it is part of the incremental destruction of America by the Left. Shaming it into stopping, even slowing down is a worthwhile pursuit.

Straw that broke the camel's back, pal. This should be a lesson to the rest of corporate America that "go woke, go broke" is real. This time it was just a beer commercial. Stupid but the direct harm was zero. But it does help foster the normalization of these severely mentally ill people. That normalization is extremely harmful. No more.

What Nick is missing is that the Bud distributors should have immediately scolded A-B about the promotion. That would have made sense. They didn't and wound up reaping the pain. I'd be surprised if the non-boycott lasts.

First, AB-InBev is not an American company. All their profits go to the Belgian owners. Please don’t call them an American Company. They are not. Second, AB-InBev downsized a whole bunch of American workers to scale their workforce into a euro-team work group model, so the blather about jobs and employees rings hollow. Third, if the workers don’t support woke perversion, what are they doing about it from the inside, to let their masters know that they find it repulsive? If the answer is “not much,” then perhaps they need a dose of reality from the consumers. Businesses have no business “influencing” people beyond selling a good product. Once they start telling us how to think, it’s time to quit buying their product. Look at Coca-Cola (“Be less white!”), Dicks (“we don’t like evil guns”), and Bed Bath & Beyond (“We hate Trump”)… they got what they deserve. Red dot my Bud. If you don’t stand up to be counted, you don’t count.

Over time, maybe A-B will come up with a better tasting product. Like the author, I don't drink beer - any beer. But no one I know was drinking Bud light before this fiasco. They didn't like it. The company needs to get back in the game with a better product and clearly, a better promo. We don't owe any company loyalty to save anyone's job. The company is responsible for that. If A-B totally tanks, there's lots of demand for workers in our community. Come to TN and get a new start!

This guy has obviously not read the statement of their marketing genius, Alissa Heinerscheid, who has embarrassed both Harvard and Wharton. This was definitely their new direction to promote Bud Light to a more modern, inclusive audience and drop the Baby Boomer image. Now the Busch Light commercials are giving us new comedy material as they try to advertise it as the drink of choice for rugged outdoor types. You see a black bear and people scaring him away with a stick. Hint to the marketing department, it ain't workin', fools."

The author misses the point. It's not about Bud Light. It's about the next Bud Light. Or the next school board. It's about making sure there is pain when you do something that slowly destroys our culture. Americans are still drinking beer. In the long run, no worker will be displaced. It's not like we are off-shoring steel manufacturing. We're talking about beer. The truth is, the point has already been made. It no longer really matters whether Bud Light gets back its customers or not. It's that the next woke marketing VP is going to think twice about pulling this stunt. And that is a good thing.

Nick, you can't deflect this onto the former customer base of Budweiser. The management of every public company is responsible to two groups. First responsibility is to stockholders, although the ability of stockholders to correct the errors of management is significantly reduced by the practice of investing through mutual funds, which I readily admit to. The second group to which management owes some responsibility is the employees. However, too many executives have little or no concern for the damage they do to the livelihoods of their employees. The entire blame for the damage done to the employees of AB lies at the foot of management. If management of corporations had shown much concern for their employees then we would not have seen the offshoring of most industry in the USA.

OK, let’s look at this from another angle. First of all AB made a really stupid mistake that offended a large portion of their customer base. They did this to attract a group which makes up about 1% of the population. Then they did not do a very good job of explaining themselves. Yes, there will be jobs lost. But then, the amount of beer consumed in the United States will not necessarily go down. There are many quality breweries in this country and they will be hiring employs to handle the increase in sales gifted to them from the morons at AB. Zero sum game.

It's hard to tell how this will turn out. I have a lot of family members who have drank Bud Light for 50 years. They are disquieted by AB and I don't think they'll ever drink another one. There are plenty of light beers that taste like water to choose from so they are using it as an excuse to try other brands. They are actually embarrassed to be seen with a Bud Light in their hand, you can't even give it away.

Good point. Speaking of points, we've made ours. Disney stinks and they'll suffer.. but there is no comparison between Disney and AB so I agree that it's time to lay off. The next corporation will be thinking that the red dot they see isn't a cat joke but a laser sighting device attached to something that will lower their profitability.

Hey Nick, governments do this all the time to other nations... it's called, "Trade Embargo." Those poor, beleaguered steel workers in China had nothing to do with the cut-rate pricing of their steel. We, as consumers, have no alternative but to "vote with our dollars" in order to send a message to the CEO and Board of Directors of a product when they FORGET who their customers really are. This is the only way we have of sending a message. Trust me, the next overpaid Madison Avenue Marketing-puke at a major brand will think long and hard about whom they pick as a 'brand representative' before they pass it in front of the 'once-burned/twice shy' CEO/BoD for approval. Some of the most iconic advertisements ever made for Christmas season and for the Super Bowl have been from A-B. They flushed decades of iconic imagery and brand loyalty down the toilet with one stupid stunt by a female Gen-X buffoon, approved by a male CEO who has lost his way in the real world. Hey, whatcha know? That's not a laser pointer, it's "karma."

On one level, Lopez is correct. These employees could lose their livelihoods because of this bad decision made by AB executives. And I'll bet, most AB employees disagree with the ad campaign. But these employees have tremendous power and they should strike, stop work, bring the company to its knees, until AB does a complete apology to their customers for the obnoxious musings and decisions of their executives. They should demand that the company make a very public statement that this deviant, perverse and destructive new transgender movement (transgenders have been around for decades) with its deliberate grooming of children and denigration of our culture is wrong and abhorrent. And until the company does so, ain't no one gonna work. That would save the company and their jobs. Remember the Disney employees promoting their gay agenda, well AB employees need to do the same thing. We need to start using WOKE tactics against them the way they use them against us.

Black Californians are beginning to realize they were watching Kabuki reparations theater. In September 2020, right before the big election, the California legislature enacted Assembly Bill 3121, setting up a “Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans” (snip) Despite the task force only being advisory, blacks really believed that its recommendations would send money their way.

Posted by Magnante 5/10/2023 4:54:07 AM Post Reply
Well, yet another supposedly “damning” video of Tucker Carlson got leaked to Media Matters for America (“MMFA”). As with the others, it shows Tucker when he’s not seated at his desk speaking to the audience but is, instead, conversing with those around him, whether in person, on the phone, or via text. MMFA, which despises Tucker Carlson, presumably released this material to show Tucker in a bad light. However, for conservatives, the videos give us a first-hand look at a real, thoughtful, funny, and intelligent man we’d love to meet for a beer. So I ask, mostly facetiously and a tiny bit seriously, is Tucker the man behind the leak

Judge in Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial

My assessment of the probability of Donald Trump receiving a fair trial on the highly questionable charges (falsifying business records) brought against him by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg just plummeted to subterranean levels. The judge in the case just metaphorically peed on Trump’s leg and told him it was raining, to employ a venerable and colorful American expression. He issued a gag order and specified that he was not issuing a gag order and violated Trump’s First Amendment rights while claiming he didn’t violate his First Amendment rights. The technical name, albeit a less flamboyant one than the metaphor of micturition, is dissimulation.
