The problem has always been they wanted to be given a special status. Gifted with uniqueness, they wanted an exception for their lifestyle. An exception from religion, in law, in culture, in society just so that they could say that their lifestyle deserves acceptance because people won't accept them. It then became celebrating their exclusiveness and making others accept them to be inclusive...provided that people accept them or else they would threaten them socially or legally. Now, they are trying to desperately say that their lifestyle is not only deserving of an exception but it's also so commonplace that its a majority when it's only a small segment of a minority - an exclusive minority with legal exceptions - to the point that everyone has to tolerate their special status as anything else is a social ill. The thing about tolerance, universally, is people do not tolerate individuals who are seen to be given an exception without just cause when they are in turn punished for being who they are.
I wouldn't have purchased Bud Light or Budweiser anyway... I don't drink swill. However, I would shop at Target from time to time... but... not anymore... Get fucked Target.
Bud Light waded out into what they have since discovered was the Perfect Storm. Never in the history of retail marketing has such a tidal wave of pent up customer anger and frustration been focused on a single brand or product. And never before have those angry customers been able to sit back and enjoy watching the continued destruction that is the direct result of their wrath. There will be entire business classes devoted to this event, teaching marketing students how best to avoid repeating it themselves.
Look, I get the Bud Lite backlash - they’re so associated with the stereotype of the Redneck, how they didn’t think that their customer base would react negatively a blatant Virtue Signal is beyond me. But Target? Target’s for Liberal White Women and the kinda Yuppies who unironicaly say “at least it’s not Walmart”. The fact they’re receiving any kind of backlash is just funny, considering that customer base. June is gonna be fun, for different reasons than usual.
As to Target maybe in some places, but in others it is just families. "Soccer moms" tend to like to use their Target cards. And as many have pointed out what normal parent wants to explain "tuck friendly" to their kid? Many still have a hard time in just explaining "the birds and the bees".
I don't think you're considering how many soccer moms are also church moms. They're pretty activated. It's great. Watch what happens when all the momma's put their foot down once they've all finally had enough. Hell hath no furry like a woman's scorn.
Target is also frequented by the same low income, heavily immigrant (and heavily religious) customers that shop at Wal-Mart, when there’s no Wal-Mart in your town.
@@ccrazool and the idiots tend to "forget" that Immigrants tend to be Conservative in social and religious values. This is their Racism coming to the fore.
The Miller commercial is the best, on the surface it's an apology for exploiting women, but if you go back and watch the video they've blurred all the women's faces, but kept the their hot bodies. What's funny about that is that since their not showing their faces, they don't have to pay them for showing the posters in the add. Now that's exploitation.
I always expected a backlash, but I never thought it would be this big and hit bud light this hard. That's the most remarkable thing about this whole thing. It goes to show that people are just sick and tired of these billion dollar companies doing this woke stuff. Five, or even three years ago, there would have been a backlash, but I think it would have blown over in a few weeks. This is people saying, "enough is enough." The straw that broke the camel's back. I feel like any such stunts by companies will be met with the same reaction until a change is forced. Hitting these giant companies in the wallet was always going to be the way to teach them.

It only got this big because WOMEN felt insulted by it. Women felt they had something taken away from them (like jobs at being brand ambassadors). All this was to protect women all while ignoring the shyte women have done to men's spaces products. No one really cared about the Amy Schumer and Seth Rogan wage gap woke ad from Bud Light in 2017.
Corporations, egged on media and social elites, have been kicking sand in the face of the consumer for years, sneering at their customers, whom they consider to be dim witted, weak willed and in desperate need of re-education. The reaction to Bud Light's rebranding was the bursting of the dam. Target might soon learn that people are tired of their hateful attitude. We can only hope.
For nearly a decade now, companies were told to appeal to the left-wing wokesters on Twitter. That was made easier when it was simply them being "anti-Trump" and appealing to that crowd. However, once Trump left and Musk bought Twitter, the ordinary folks realized they had more power than they thought. I guarantee this boycott wouldn't have been as successful pre-Musk Twitter, mainly because the wokeys at Twitter would have banned the accounts from talking about it! Unfortunately for these companies, they just got slapped upside the head with the reality that the right-wing and even apolitical folks spend money too and pissing them off can cost far more than not pandering to the whiners on Twitter with no money! (Remember, if they had any money, they could pay off their student loans!) No, we aren't asking for conservative businesses; we are asking ALL business to stay out of politics! Don't discuss religion or politics - not just advice for dating, CEOs!
@@SeeThomasHowl I agree. Will be interesting to see in a year if folks come back to the brand. However, unlike other targets of boycotts, BL fits that perfect storm of a pretty generic product and more than adequate competition sitting right nearby - not to mention all the smaller brewers available. (Which, is actually funny if you think about it; isn't the stereotype that craft beer drinkers are bearded progressives?) My personal prediction is that AB does an attempt at a complete rebrand of the BL brand in the fall, but their other beers only take a minor hit. The hardest part of this boycott is that AB owns so many brands that people think they are boycotting but still buying from them. As of right now, the boycott is doing far better than any expert would have predicted, which makes any claims those same folks make that BL will bounce back immediately suspect.
I used to shop at target because it was a better alternative to Walmart (I hate Walmart for how they treat their employees but I’m not boycotting them) but now I must boycott Target. What they are doing targeting (pun intended) minors is unacceptable and downright sinister
This interesting that Walmart tree stand employees bad but they don't get no boycott as for Target is getting boycott for targeting minors in which I don't really think that's the case because they're not really doing anything against the law

The 29.5% drop in volume for Bud Light is for the 4-week period ended 05/20/23, so it doesn’t reflect the Memorial Day weekend. The next 4-week report will probably be catastrophic! To paraphrase Cato the Elder, Anheuser Busch delendum est!
There is a lot of overlap here. The disney toys on the shelfs, the budlight on the shelves: all that shelf space takes up money in the long run, so they were already in trouble, but this MANCOTT is going to be very devestaing.
I think Ronin Man channel has a somewhat deeper take on the Bud L. débacle - they actually went so far as to put the whammen (who was) in charge of the Mulan Dylvaney tie-in up front and centre to let her explain things. She explained in detail how 'fratty' and basic and juvenile BudL drinkers are and how they need to move with the times - a fundamental 'Men Bad' insult in words of one syllable. And then they sent her on permanent leave. I think they did it to get rid of her.
The whole Bud Light situation has finally showed who has the true power of these companies. And guess what? It’s NOT the woke nutcases and managers of the companies. ITS THE CLIENTS! This is the price they payed for ignoring us.
This either started with Hogwarts Legacy or Bud light If it was Hogwarts then it was probably because the LGTV community went mask off and the general public actually saw just how terrible the community is, leading to Bud Light experiencing the backlash it did trying to appeal to said community of monsters If Bud Light was the official start then it's probably because as beer, no one has real nostalgia for it which has allowed companies like Disney to get away with how they've been, snd and Bid Lights collapse showed people that they DO have the power to tear these companies down
They're not a 'community'. Far from it. They're a hate group network that's been heavily sponsored & used as a weapon by globalists to subvert, demoralise, divide & destabilize actual communities of value such as the nuclear family & all that's wholesome. They hate you, me & anyone that disagrees or constructively criticizes them... they even hate themselves. It's about freaking time the rational community of humans are waking up to it & fighting back. We're just at the tip of the iceberg. The backlash against these hateful terrorists has only just begun & will snowball into something that will be remembered as a critical pivot in human history.
I think you’re on the right track. Beer is very economically inelastic. It’s VERY easy to boycott a certain beer brand because there are so many equal alternatives. Disney, as you mentioned, is a lot more complicated for many reasons, but even they are starting to feel the economic effect because their movies have lost a lot of customers.
Not only does this massive surplus in Bud Light show that people don't have to give that company money or support their b.s.,but it more importantly shows that the people that they're pandering to don't drink their product anyways, and if they did before, even less of them drink it now..Good job Anhueser Busch..Put some more of your genius marketing strategists "on leave".
Now there is tangible proof that anyone can see that catering to a certain subsection of the population isn’t going to move your product. Can’t ignore it, now.
I actually don't care about this ad campaign. Not every ad has to target me specifically. I understand that some ads are for different demographics and that's okay. But... why would anyone buy products from a company if that company tells you that you are the problem and you are just the wrong customer? If it's a product like beer, where you have a million options, you can easily choose a different product and you will feel better then. Like you said: "beer for humans". Customers actually want to be recognized as human beings and nobody buys beer in order to feel bad or guilty.
Target: Boycott for the entire month of June. No action needed, just don't go there and spend money. Hope this love fest with the Pride Month stings many companies that promote it.
Bud Light only got the backlash that it did was mainly women complaining about it. If it was just men complaining about seeing a freak show on their cans or TV screens, not much would have been done but insult a woman or "take away" a woman's potential job (yet no one cares when women take over men's jobs with less merit or have women only jobs but no such equivalent exists for men) and it's game over. We see this played out with the Brawny advert where the lumberjack was replaced by a strong wahmen while stating "strength has no gender." We also saw this play out with the Angel Soft attempt at taking away Father's Day and giving it to women/ single mothers. Then we have the whole Amy Schumer and Seth Rogan "Wage Gap" advert from Bud Light which didn't get all that much backlash and Bud Light only went this route after WOMEN complained about being objectified or humiliated in older adverts that they were pressured to change their ways.
Technically speaking it isn't politics that outrages people. It is the culture war schtick being rammed down our throats. The culture war is mainly about morals/Christianity vs values/secularism.
CEOs, VPs, and other execs get their salaries and golden parachutes regardless of whether the company succeeds or fails. "Get woke, go broke" doesn't actually disincentivize going woke in the first place.
I have noticed at most stores so far, the pride displays have been pulled back, target not withstanding. I wonder if that will continue this June compared to last year. 2022 might have been the peak. It was the start of the push back and 2023 is the peak of the pushback. Just like BLM going bankrupt, by 2024 or 25, the trans stuff may start to wayne kind of like CRT sort of has. Or at least the gift is fully exposed.
So, can we send in footage/pics of our local stores full of Bud Light? Would be interesting to see the various areas of our nation respondind to the controversy.
Imagine spending decades of your life building up a company with your blood sweat and tears then for a 20 something woke marketing "activist" to ruin all your hard work with a single horrible "Marketing campaign".
@@firstorder438 Bob Lachky was one of the creative minds behind the Budweiser Frogs and many other memorable commercials. He said exactly the same thing: seeing 20 years of careful work to build up the loyal customer base, only to see it all destroyed in under a week. There are interviews with him here and there on the internet.
Honestly restaurants should probably do a deal with the liquor stores to take near expiring bud light off their hands for $1 a beer or less. It might as well be used for batter, stews as a cooking ingredient because nobody is going to drink it.
Bud Light isn't beer. My mom, who was a very wise lady, often described Bud Light as, "Horse piss with the fuzz farted off." That means, if you're selling horse piss and trying to pass it off as a beverage, you need to stick with whatever actually drives sales.
You might notice AB is using a form of bait-n-switch; the 'discount' is in the form of a "rebate" direct from AB. That is, you have to pay the higher price in the store, and then hope you *ever* get that rebate from AB. And, of course, most people never bother with redeeming the "rebate" anyway - they just forget, or they lose the receipt, anything. AB is being just as cynical as before, hoping they could "grow the brand" with no downside. When they start giving retailers refunds on returns of unsold beer, rather than just a swap - *then* they'll be serious.
The question that needs to be asked is: How are all these companies still able to trade? Perhaps that they're propped up by companies like BlackRock & Vanguard? And people need to look into ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance). It's basically a credit score for that corporations adhere to. If these corporations want to keep up with their ability to access money, they've gotta push whatever nonsense that BlackRock & Vanguard want pushed. And what I would like to know, why is it that this issue has never (or hardly) been brought up by channels such as WCBS, Geeks & Gamers, Nerdrotic....etc?
I talked to my neighborhood bar's manager and asked him about Budweiser and AB sales in the bar. They've cratered. They are going through maybe a quarter of the stuff on tap as they used to. The distributor is going to have to buy back the unsold beer. I think that also applies to retail sales (6 packs and cases). So the distributors are going to have to take a loss on that beer as well. People also aren't buying AB at sponsored events. If you run a stadium, arena, or any sort of large venue where beer is sold, those beer sales represent a lot of profit. So there's going to come a reckoning between how many taps and how much cooler space is going to the sponsor's product when it's just going to sit. People will drink Bud if that's all that's available or all that's left... usually. But that's changed. Perhaps this is a wake-up call to Wall Street to get out of cultural issues and identities as branding and marketing. I don't want to identify with my beer's thoughts and views. I want to drink it... possibly to excess. Can we just get back to a consumer economy?
The real crime is knowing these manufactures price it at $22, mark it on sale for $7, and are STILL making money at that $7. The other $14 is PURE PROFIT.
3:10 Both Seagram's and Z Grills should sue Kroger's for displaying their products along Bud Light. It hurts sales by driving people away of your merchandise.
I don't know why Bud Light and Target were the straws that broke the camel's back, but I'm grateful and relieved it's finally happening. I thought the pandemic and the political push into sports would make "normies" finally snap, but better late than never.
TH-cam WOULD NOT let me watch this vid on my xbox one, I got about half-way through and now I'm finishing it on my phone. I have no idea wtf the deal with that is.
I have a suggestion on why companies are willing to lead by their politics .. it's bcause the rich and the corporations own the systems and have nothing to lose. We should all heed the words of George Carlin who said the rich and powerful got the systems and in turn Got You By The Balls ! They Own You !!! You need to know that revolution is your ony way to stop being enslaved .. best get armed and get ready !
The Bud Light partnership with Mulvaney was obnoxious and the way/s they responded just made it worse. People like to pretend that _"Conservatives are mad over a trans person on a beer can"_ when it's actually so much more than that. Dylan Mulvaney isn't "just a trans person" on aa beer can; you stop being "just a trans person" when you have a sit down with the President of the United States. Dylan Mulvaney is an activist. Dylan Mulvaney is a _movement;_ a movement based on the foundation of Mulvaney being a woman and children being able to medically transition. Most of Dylan's core audience isn't even old enough to _buy_ beer, so this obviously wasn't just a regular advertisement to reach out to new buyers. No, it was a very clear political statement meant to display which values Bud wants to publicly align itself with. They thought they'd be winning the approval of the Left and the LGBT "community" as a whole. Perhaps they thought the partnership would slip by their regular customers and they could simply add the Left to their consumer base without losing anyone else. Who knows. But most people don't like Dylan Mulvaney or what he represents. Most people don't agree with the direction things are going, particularly with regards to children which is one of the things Mulvaney is most vocal about. Most people don't want to give their money to a company that hates them. Most importantly, most people don't want to give their money to a company who will use it to fund the social war FOR child sex changes.
Much in the same way grown men shouldn't be wasting their money on action figures (no matter the franchise), they shouldn't be buying an drinking "light" beer either.
I honestly don’t think Target will recover. A lot of their business was from working class and stay at home moms. young mothers are very protective, and do not want to expose their children to sexual propaganda.
Is pushing a Gay Agenda on America and our Children truly worth the cost to these Corporations ? I would think that the Shareholders that are at risk of losing their shirts . Would either force them to stop ? Or Sue them for their losses .

There is a lot of overlap here. The disney toys on the shelfs, the budlight on the shelves: all that shelf space takes up money in the long run, so they were already in trouble, but this MANCOTT is going to be very devestaing.
Got the feeling this is going to be the most aggressive June yet.
I sincerely hope the backlash is super aggressive. It’d be great if June could become known for boycotts instead.
@@josephbrown9685 disagreed that will be depressing
People don’t want to be seen with a case of bud light and get called a daisy puller…Idc how low the price gets, I’m tired of all this BS…
I'm tired of the BS that caused it. I want more of this BS that is resulting from it.
I think Ronin Man channel has a somewhat deeper take on the Bud L. débacle - they actually went so far as to put the whammen (who was) in charge of the Mulan Dylvaney tie-in up front and centre to let her explain things. She explained in detail how 'fratty' and basic and juvenile BudL drinkers are and how they need to move with the times - a fundamental 'Men Bad' insult in words of one syllable. And then they sent her on permanent leave. I think they did it to get rid of her.

Not a good one, and probably not for long.
This time next year they'll push this on the children even harder and nobody will bat an eye.
I hope not. Back to the closets before the children get attacked

Here in Los Angeles, Bud Light is fully stocked in multiple supoermarkets.
The whole Bud Light situation has finally showed who has the true power of these companies.
And guess what? It’s NOT the woke nutcases and managers of the companies. ITS THE CLIENTS! This is the price they payed for ignoring us.
This either started with Hogwarts Legacy or Bud light
If it was Hogwarts then it was probably because the LGTV community went mask off and the general public actually saw just how terrible the community is, leading to Bud Light experiencing the backlash it did trying to appeal to said community of monsters
If Bud Light was the official start then it's probably because as beer, no one has real nostalgia for it which has allowed companies like Disney to get away with how they've been, snd and Bid Lights collapse showed people that they DO have the power to tear these companies down
They're not a 'community'. Far from it. They're a hate group network that's been heavily sponsored & used as a weapon by globalists to subvert, demoralise, divide & destabilize actual communities of value such as the nuclear family & all that's wholesome. They hate you, me & anyone that disagrees or constructively criticizes them... they even hate themselves.
It's about freaking time the rational community of humans are waking up to it & fighting back. We're just at the tip of the iceberg. The backlash against these hateful terrorists has only just begun & will snowball into something that will be remembered as a critical pivot in human history.
I think you’re on the right track. Beer is very economically inelastic. It’s VERY easy to boycott a certain beer brand because there are so many equal alternatives. Disney, as you mentioned, is a lot more complicated for many reasons, but even they are starting to feel the economic effect because their movies have lost a lot of customers.
Not only does this massive surplus in Bud Light show that people don't have to give that company money or support their b.s.,but it more importantly shows that the people that they're pandering to don't drink their product anyways, and if they did before, even less of them drink it now..Good job Anhueser Busch..Put some more of your genius marketing strategists "on leave".
Now there is tangible proof that anyone can see that catering to a certain subsection of the population isn’t going to move your product. Can’t ignore it, now.
I actually don't care about this ad campaign. Not every ad has to target me specifically. I understand that some ads are for different demographics and that's okay. But... why would anyone buy products from a company if that company tells you that you are the problem and you are just the wrong customer? If it's a product like beer, where you have a million options, you can easily choose a different product and you will feel better then. Like you said: "beer for humans". Customers actually want to be recognized as human beings and nobody buys beer in order to feel bad or guilty.
Steady, men. Don’t let up. Perhaps someday it will be BlackRock’s turn.
Long live the Star Wars Holiday Special!

Target: Boycott for the entire month of June. No action needed, just don't go there and spend money. Hope this love fest with the Pride Month stings many companies that promote it.
Yes to this. Stay away from Target for the month of June, or at least keep your kids away until the coast is clear.
The hardest part in this is finding the 12 billion to lose.
Part of the problem is ESG
More like "root" of the problem.
@@Grubnar Financial extortion by the lunatic woke left.
Just amazed how both companies continue to not say anything and make it worse.
Bud Light only got the backlash that it did was mainly women complaining about it. If it was just men complaining about seeing a freak show on their cans or TV screens, not much would have been done but insult a woman or "take away" a woman's potential job (yet no one cares when women take over men's jobs with less merit or have women only jobs but no such equivalent exists for men) and it's game over. We see this played out with the Brawny advert where the lumberjack was replaced by a strong wahmen while stating "strength has no gender." We also saw this play out with the Angel Soft attempt at taking away Father's Day and giving it to women/ single mothers. Then we have the whole Amy Schumer and Seth Rogan "Wage Gap" advert from Bud Light which didn't get all that much backlash and Bud Light only went this route after WOMEN complained about being objectified or humiliated in older adverts that they were pressured to change their ways.
Technically speaking it isn't politics that outrages people. It is the culture war schtick being rammed down our throats. The culture war is mainly about morals/Christianity vs values/secularism.
no evolution debate here, but id politics
I asked my store manager friend and she said they sell somewhere around 60% of AB Inbev products. BudLight is down more than 70%.
CEOs, VPs, and other execs get their salaries and golden parachutes regardless of whether the company succeeds or fails. "Get woke, go broke" doesn't actually disincentivize going woke in the first place.
I have noticed at most stores so far, the pride displays have been pulled back, target not withstanding. I wonder if that will continue this June compared to last year. 2022 might have been the peak. It was the start of the push back and 2023 is the peak of the pushback. Just like BLM going bankrupt, by 2024 or 25, the trans stuff may start to wayne kind of like CRT sort of has. Or at least the gift is fully exposed.
So, can we send in footage/pics of our local stores full of Bud Light? Would be interesting to see the various areas of our nation respondind to the controversy.
It feels like they're playing a reverse Gamestop now. I'm curious as to which will actually stick for the long run though.
Marketing is now the most useless expense a company can have. It's filled with nothing but Gen Z'ers and social media wannabes.
Imagine spending decades of your life building up a company with your blood sweat and tears then for a 20 something woke marketing "activist" to ruin all your hard work with a single horrible "Marketing campaign".
@@firstorder438 Bob Lachky was one of the creative minds behind the Budweiser Frogs and many other memorable commercials. He said exactly the same thing: seeing 20 years of careful work to build up the loyal customer base, only to see it all destroyed in under a week. There are interviews with him here and there on the internet.
Haha! Someone is shopping Budlight in the background -----> 03:54 😆
3:29 it’s a vendor item, it goes back to the vendors, who then chuck it into the trash.
Honestly restaurants should probably do a deal with the liquor stores to take near expiring bud light off their hands for $1 a beer or less. It might as well be used for batter, stews as a cooking ingredient because nobody is going to drink it.
No Bud Light, no Bud, no Blue Moon, no Michelob, no Anheuser Busch products at all. To Hell with them.
Bud Light isn't beer. My mom, who was a very wise lady, often described Bud Light as, "Horse piss with the fuzz farted off." That means, if you're selling horse piss and trying to pass it off as a beverage, you need to stick with whatever actually drives sales.
The next company to Bud Light themselves is Chick-Fil-A. Can't wait to see the video for that free fall.

I want to learn how to make a billion dollars in the first place.
You might notice AB is using a form of bait-n-switch; the 'discount' is in the form of a "rebate" direct from AB. That is, you have to pay the higher price in the store, and then hope you *ever* get that rebate from AB. And, of course, most people never bother with redeeming the "rebate" anyway - they just forget, or they lose the receipt, anything. AB is being just as cynical as before, hoping they could "grow the brand" with no downside. When they start giving retailers refunds on returns of unsold beer, rather than just a swap - *then* they'll be serious.
Remember that movie 'Brewsters millions' ? these days companies would have no problem burning through the cash.
We have light products in our country and they sell, though not as much the normal beer.
The question that needs to be asked is: How are all these companies still able to trade? Perhaps that they're propped up by companies like BlackRock & Vanguard? And people need to look into ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance). It's basically a credit score for that corporations adhere to. If these corporations want to keep up with their ability to access money, they've gotta push whatever nonsense that BlackRock & Vanguard want pushed. And what I would like to know, why is it that this issue has never (or hardly) been brought up by channels such as WCBS, Geeks & Gamers, Nerdrotic....etc?
The issue with bud and target is that their customer base is talking but nobody listening. Those ESG scores are more important. So be it.
I talked to my neighborhood bar's manager and asked him about Budweiser and AB sales in the bar. They've cratered. They are going through maybe a quarter of the stuff on tap as they used to. The distributor is going to have to buy back the unsold beer. I think that also applies to retail sales (6 packs and cases). So the distributors are going to have to take a loss on that beer as well. People also aren't buying AB at sponsored events. If you run a stadium, arena, or any sort of large venue where beer is sold, those beer sales represent a lot of profit. So there's going to come a reckoning between how many taps and how much cooler space is going to the sponsor's product when it's just going to sit. People will drink Bud if that's all that's available or all that's left... usually. But that's changed.
Perhaps this is a wake-up call to Wall Street to get out of cultural issues and identities as branding and marketing. I don't want to identify with my beer's thoughts and views. I want to drink it... possibly to excess. Can we just get back to a consumer economy?
Might be worth checking if some was short selling stocks before this?
The real crime is knowing these manufactures price it at $22, mark it on sale for $7, and are STILL making money at that $7.
The other $14 is PURE PROFIT.
Shut down the woke businesses! We are on the front line of the culture wars!!! No retreat, no surrender! Boycott TRANSheiser-Busch and Touché-Target!
If I actually drank beer, this would be a glorious time. But given I can't stand even good beer, I can only shake my head and laugh.

3:10 Both Seagram's and Z Grills should sue Kroger's for displaying their products along Bud Light. It hurts sales by driving people away of your merchandise.

They can give it to shelters and food banks so those on hard times can not drink it

I have a suggestion on why companies are willing to lead by their politics .. it's bcause the rich and the corporations own the systems and have nothing to lose.
We should all heed the words of George Carlin who said the rich and powerful got the systems and in turn Got You By The Balls ! They Own You !!!
You need to know that revolution is your ony way to stop being enslaved .. best get armed and get ready !
I'll shed zero tears if Bud Light goes kaput, because I don't drink pisswater.
Maybe go to Target to see what their Bud Lite display looks like?
😁
I never drank cowboy piss to begin with. I like dark beers. Having said that I am amused by it all
270 bucks for that cheaply made grill?!
damn...if it goes a bit lower I'm going all in
Perhaps it might be the blue color that is putting folks off?!? LMAO
Not even good value, I'd have way more fun losing 12 B.
Think people arent only buying, you dont want to be seen drinking it.
Let’s not forget their Canada adventure that ended terribly
The Bud Light partnership with Mulvaney was obnoxious and the way/s they responded just made it worse.
People like to pretend that _"Conservatives are mad over a trans person on a beer can"_ when it's actually so much more than that.
Dylan Mulvaney isn't "just a trans person" on aa beer can; you stop being "just a trans person" when you have a sit down with the President of the United States.
Dylan Mulvaney is an activist. Dylan Mulvaney is a _movement;_ a movement based on the foundation of Mulvaney being a woman and children being able to medically transition.
Most of Dylan's core audience isn't even old enough to _buy_ beer, so this obviously wasn't just a regular advertisement to reach out to new buyers.
No, it was a very clear political statement meant to display which values Bud wants to publicly align itself with. They thought they'd be winning the approval of the Left and the LGBT "community" as a whole.
Perhaps they thought the partnership would slip by their regular customers and they could simply add the Left to their consumer base without losing anyone else. Who knows.
But most people don't like Dylan Mulvaney or what he represents. Most people don't agree with the direction things are going, particularly with regards to children which is one of the things Mulvaney is most vocal about.
Most people don't want to give their money to a company that hates them. Most importantly, most people don't want to give their money to a company who will use it to fund the social war FOR child sex changes.
I just got a Joe Biden ad! LOL
Awesome!
Much in the same way grown men shouldn't be wasting their money on action figures (no matter the franchise), they shouldn't be buying an drinking "light" beer either.
Hold the line. Forever.
I honestly don’t think Target will recover. A lot of their business was from working class and stay at home moms. young mothers are very protective, and do not want to expose their children to sexual propaganda.
The Budcott continues.
If it was 7 bucks here I would buy it 😂
Is pushing a Gay Agenda on America and our Children truly worth the cost to these Corporations ? I would think that the Shareholders that are at risk of losing their shirts . Would either force them to stop ? Or Sue them for their losses .
3 minutes of info and 6 minutes of advertisement not a good TH-cam ratio.
