Something something...paid for half and half...something something...takes it black...something something else...ground up and in the freezer.

Could always be worse. Could have been cases of bud light in that fridge/freezer..

I honestly thought this was Corey Feldman looking leaner and sprung out at a glance when this image started floating around.

Maybe terminology is wrong on my end. I have seen catchy headlines like this one though all week.

When a stock has been on a 20% gain during the first quarter of the calendar year and a marketing dust up gives it a 3 to 4% dip, the stock is still exceptionally healthy. 

So far, it's not even enough of a drop to drive investors into buying it at a "discount"  (knowing it will rebound eventually) 

 BudLight has had some of the most successful marketing campaigns in the beer universe over the past 30 years. They'll produce another one of those and rebound from this - and they may not even need to if they just ride it out.

Most ppl that get fake mad over some dumb [BLEEP] like this forget about it in a few weeks.

Normally I would agree with you as I alluded to in an earlier post.  This one feels different though.  The head of marketing behind this campaign took a direct shot at the core Bud Light consumers.  She said in a roundabout way that Bud Light didn’t want them drinking their beer.  She made it personal.  The trans-campaign blunder could be forgiven over time and with a semi-apology; that marketing VP interview however is a different story.  Joe 6-pack is not as dumb as the elite progressives think he is.

No way!

It is but the wealthy aren't the ones that suffer. It's all the distributors and employees that will suffer. The VP of marketing will probably fail upward and get a higher position somewhere else.

So if the boycott only hurts the distributors and employees, what's the point?

Some folks don't want to give their money to people who gleefully violate their sense of morality. We used to have a fairly common set of those morals, but after decades of attacking them our enemies have driven a stake into our sense of community.

What a great, simple explanation of what went wrong.

Outwardly non-hetero US citizens have doubled from 3.5% of the population to 7.1% since 2012. 

That number will increase. 

That sense of morality you describe, which most would just label as homophobia these days, is going to become more and more a minority in the coming years.
Changing from one crappy light beer to another isn't going to stop that from happening. (or stop companies from marketing to that group) 
Sorry, I am not trying to be a jerk. 
I respect your values/morals. They are likely aligned with 70% of my family and friends. 
I'm just confronting the elephant in the room as no one seems to be addressing it.

We are addressing the outright intentional manipulation and corruption of our children into these lifestyles which some are using as an offensive weapon to destroy our country and way of life. It's not the beer, it's the culture.

It's a start

Donald Trump, Jr is urging people not to boycott Anheuser-Busch. Seems they're a major Republican donor.

It would seem that Budweiser is now in their CYA mode BIG TIME!!!!!!

Budweiser releases new pro-America ad with iconic mascot in wake of Anheuser-Busch Mulvaney controversy
The advertisement features one of Budweiser's famous Clydesdale horses passing iconic American landmarks

Budweiser has released a new patriotic advertisement as its parent company struggles with controversy over its endorsement partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

I am curious, how many people do you believe that have chosen to disassociate with AB will listen to him?

Probably very few.  People enjoy being angry.

I agree with the first point.  I disagree with the 2nd.  I do not believe conservatives enjoy being angry at all.  They just want to be left alone.  It’s why it takes them so long to rise up as they continue turn the other cheek.  Obviously I am speaking for mainstream conservatives and not the extremes you see on CNN and MSNBC but I digress.  AB is caving and this is not even an organized boycott.  Just people following their heart.

I agree.  The vocal minorities on both sides make it hard to see reality.  It's a problem on a lot of levels.   Most Republicans today say they dislike most Democrats, and vice versa, but, whenever an average Republican actually meets an average Democrat, they would probably like each other just fine.

Technology has separated us. It's easy to lay in bed and hurl invective with your thumbs. This is why my personal policy is to never say anything online that I wouldn't say to someone's face.
