By the way, Warren Buffet owns 400 million shares of Coca-Cola, and I guarantee you he wants no part of any stupid ideas.

And by the way, this has nothing to do with "lessons learned from Bud Light."  These ideas were stupid enough on their own.

Ah yes, the always sacred 'bottom line',  So many fall back on that as the justifier of corporate greed, stupidity, etc; but there is also the hard-to-measure 'corporate good will' that companies should always be trying to foster.  If the CEO of Coca Cola or Busch were suddenly revealed to be a promotor of sex with underage minors, I guarantee you that those companies would fire and sever all ties with him/her.  Don't want to endanger that 'bottom line'.
