I was at the golf course yesterday, and there's no longer any Bud Light.  They took it out.

Had they produced a commercial showing Mulvaney humorously interacting with some known professional athletes, this could have all been avoided. Instead, Little Miss Fratty wanted it all her way. Now she doesn’t have a job and a well-known brand is floundering.

This scenario will be studied in business and marketing classes.

Did you ask for a can of tranny fluid, Marty? 

We wanted a pitcher on draft.  I told the bartender they might get some Bud Light at a significant discount, and then they could put it on tap under a different name.  There's probably barrels of that stuff sitting in warehouses that can be had for pennies on the dollar.  Put it on tap and call it Bent Creek Special Brew.  (That's the golf course.)
