As Anheuser Busch continues supporting alphabet “pride” and transgender grooming rallies around the nation, the sales of their products continue declining. However, that did not stop the marketing and advertising sector from awarding “creative marketer of the year” to Anheuser Busch at Cannes Lions, which is dubbed the “Oscars for the advertising industry.”
[New York Post] – Sales of Bud Light suffered their steepest weekly drop yet since the beer brand launched its disastrous tie-up with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, according to the latest data.
In the week ending June 17, sales of the Anheuser-Busch brand fell by an eye-popping 28.5% versus a year ago, according to the most recent sales figures issued by Bump Williams Consulting and NielsenIQ.
That eclipses last week’s 26.8% decline, which beat the previous week’s fall of 24.4%.
Bud Light’s sister brands under the Anheuser-Busch umbrella also experienced lagging sales in the seven-day period which ended June 17, according to the data.
Sales of Budweiser dropped 12.3% while another Anheuser-Busch brand, Michelob Ultra, fell by 4%. (read more)
This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given the negative brand image now created for the product. Factually, the only thing that can reverse the trend for the product is time and diminished memory. As consumers associate the brand with a lifestyle, the use of the product will continue to drop. Holding a Bud Light beverage right now is akin to identifying yourself as a transfemme, or wearing pink pants.
Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Michel Doukeris reportedly addressed the ongoing boycott’s impact on delivery drivers, salespeople, and wholesalers on a recent earnings call. It is a little bit odd to see A/B positioning themselves as victims of their customers.
“This situation has impacted our people and especially our frontline workers: The delivery drivers, sales representatives, our wholesalers, Bud owners and servers,” Doukeris said, according to ABC News. “These people are the fabric of our business. They are our neighbors, family members, and friends. They are in every community in America. We’ve been doing everything we can to support our teams.”
It would appear that Anheuser-Busch the corporation, are refusing to accept or acknowledge their responsibility in creating this crisis for their brand. The brand image issue was not forced upon them. These were decisions made by the marketing division of the company, and now they place blame for the consequences on their customers.
Every time, in every story, in every print and broadcast update, as the ongoing events are told or written – every visual aide that accompanies the news includes that weird guy with the Bud Light beer in his hand.
This is now a bizarre marketing self-fulfilling prophecy. The articles and news telling updates to the story are now optically affirming the Bud Light brand as a beverage exclusively for transgenders. This level of ongoing public relations failure is something for the record books.
Drink stout and be happy.
Just opened a Guinness Foreign Extra Stout and some Redbreast Whiskey.
Budweiser… oh yeah, I remember drinking that… Never Again.
Never Again.
I used to have the occasional Bud Non-alcohol (a change from years of face-in-the-trough).
No more. Ever.
After being stationed in Germany by the army back in the early 80’s and tasting what real beer tastes like, I could no longer stomach the weak lager that Budweiser is and never went back to drinking that swill.
Thank God that we have many more varieties available compared to back then.
I had to search far and wide for decent tasting beers before micro brews became a thing.
I can’t imagine why people would drink Budweiser in this day and age when there are so many great tasting alternatives on the market. I guess they have never tasted a quality beer.
Bill Moore: I, too, discovered real beer in Germany, in the fall of 1980, to be precise.
Yeah what an eye opener for me as a young man.
It seemed like every little hamlet had their own brewery when I was there.
Good times!
I like Porter
Stouts in winter abd DIPAs in summer. Yum.
Well then , to quote a famous phrase from the past “ Mission Accomplished “
AB has officially fired those responsible.
Now that we know what works…
Onward, Patriots! There are other dragons to slay.
file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/2f/15/4CC0C1F3-FFFD-4937-9845-2DDD93F4A974/IMG_8169.jpeg
Let’s avoid quoting that guy.
404
Yes?
This takedown of AB and their woke policies is moving along swimmingly.
No reports of former bud drinkers bodies piling up in the streets. In fact…haven’t heard of any complaints from them.
Budweiser already knew what the ramification’s for trannifying their image was going to do its sales.
Fox news knew what it would do to their ratings.
Target knew….
Starbucks knew too. etc…..
But they did it anyway and not by accident. Everyone should stop buying their products. Im just saying they already knew this would happen so dont feel let down when you wonder why they are still in business later. They are working with the government like Twitter. Welcome to the new normal.
We need to focus on getting our votes counted again. That will put an end to all the madness so dont waste too much energy on the shiny stuff the media wants you to focus on because its not actually real. Nobody wants this tranny crap shouved in their faces. Our voice is being stolen through election fraud.
hint: they dont want you to focus on election fraud.
Target, starbucks, and Budweiser need you to buy, in order to survive…
Fox news like the rest of cable news gets guaranteed money if you watch or not…by being part of a cable package (that is if you are a cable subscriber) But packages are also part of all these new services too….
No business who rely on consumer profits would do something that 97% of their consumers would not like. We are in unchartered territory. Its the New Abnormal.
Your money is nice but they dont need it to survive anymore or have already factored in their losses and deemed the projected loss to be negligible.
boycotts are good but dont expect them to go out of business. They planned for this.
Ask yourself who are we actually fighting against? I bet you they hate capitalism.
They are doing this because they too know the elections are rigged.
the New Abnormal.
Excellent!
I agree. They got something, monetary or not, from pushing the LGBTQ+whatever nonsense.
Who are the 70% who are still buying it? People, have some self respect!
No, they don’t. They couldn’t care less about their customers because they are owned lock, stock and barrel by outfits like Blackrock, which use ESG scoring to force these corporations to toe the line or lose access to the really big bucks. The way to get at them is to buy their stock, and then file class action lawsuits for dereliction of fiduciary responsibility. Put in a new “MAGA” board, and watch what happens. Funding will be yanked, and the corp will die.
Good riddance.
They will be supported by freshly printed fiat dollars (bailout) for loyalty to the state. They no longer need sales. This is what fascism looks like.
Those sorts of multinational corporations don’t personally need you as customers.
Simple as satisfying all the ones that can pick the biggest number’s of pockets. Legalized plunder. Bastiat had much to say about that.
Great reference RFB. Frederic Bastiat was a contemporary of Alexis de Tocqueville (Democracy in America). Bastiat’s 1850 treatise – The Law – should be a must read (available free to read and .pdf download on-line).
“As a whole, legal plunder constitutes socialism. Using the law to fight socialism is folly; since it is upon the law that socialism itself relies. Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, to make the law their own weapon. When once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear courts, police, and prisons; rather, it may call upon them for help.” [Bastiat, The Law]
Wilkow quotes Bastiate a lot.
Wow. He nailed it. 1850?
Yes, 1850 – the year Bastiat died. The drama is the same now as it was then, only some of the props have changed. [Note: I had a high school US History teacher (1962) who critiqued one of my papers with these words: “Do not mistake the props for the drama.”]
Thank you for this! Bastiat was a brilliant mind.
“If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?”
― Frederic Bastiat, The Law
The real culprits are Blackrock, State Street and Vanguard keeping their ESG scoring index for buying equities.
^^^ 100%
Just today, my large global corporation mentioned its CEI score as an important business performance metric.
The Patriot Voice on Twitter: “WATCH THIS! 🚨🚨🚨 If you are wondering WHY all of these major corporations seem to be INTENTIONALLY self-destructing, it’s because they ARE. They have been taken over by the WEF, who then put people with THEIR agenda in charge as CEO. They are then instructed to use CEI, ESG &… https://t.co/w2bKwHLsVl” / Twitter
These corporations are shoving this shit in our faces even though they know they will lose money doing it, because they are being told to do it. No CEO of any company would knowingly do something to lose money unless he or she was forced to do it.
No CEO of any company would knowingly do something to lose money .
Unless they or their friends shorted the stock to profit when the price falls.
but there is also a reward for doing it.
Bingo. Trillions at stake. Everything that enrages you that is “off the topic of the fraud” is designed to do so.
The great news is that millions are waking up to this disaster and starting to tune out the noise.
“We need to focus on getting our votes counted again.”
We need to focus on getting an overwhelming majority to vote MEGA.
The LGBTqxyz Democrat policies is one of the ways to do it.
Bud Light was a poster child of the rainbow White House.
When they lost a billion dollars it shows how out of touch they are with the people.
People have to pick a side.
I can multitask. I also have noise canceling ear buds. This stuff is funny (like watching someone burn their own money), but just noise.
🍿🍿🍿
I see that country song still has the, “and coolers would never run out of Bud Light”. Could easily change it a bit.
They speak of their frontline workers like its our job to bail them out? In a normal world, if the current job was not working out for an employee…the employee would seek another position elsewhere?
One thought too, in these horrible economic times, I would think beer is a luxury and not a necessity. Unless one needs to stay out of the “DT’s”?
What’s the buzzphrase when automation runs off humans? Learn to code? When globalists sent manufacturing jobs to China, well that’s just too bad boyz, buck up, life’s tough. I remember the 80’s well. Robots, computers and China were replacing jobs in my industry at a breathtaking pace.
Here, good sign of how economic warfare works. Yes, there will be casualties. However, it’s not like we’re shooting them dead, a real option in a conventional war. They still have choices. Join us or work for the Communists. Choose.
I was thinking of that buzzword.
AB forgot that ‘business is in business, to make money’. And the consumer is such a petulant creature.
The people who quit buying Butt Light are still buying other beer brands whose sales have increased. I’m sure the companies who gained the new customers could use the Bud Light front line workers.
Also, Biden supporter Garth Brooks doubled down on selling Bud Light in his new bar that was supposed to open in Nashville and said people mad at Budweiser were “assholes”. His investors backed out of the bar and his opening date has been postponed. Almost immediately, the meme makers were posting headlines of Garth Brooks opening a gay bar in Nashville.
Yes, and most people don’t realize that AB is a parent company for many other brands. Or that other brands, like Coors have offshoots, too.
People don’t understand business except when wanting to buy something, then they focus on price.
And Coors is “all in” on supporting the pride crap in Denver. Buh-bye!!
Conmunism is NOT about ANY ideology.
It is about a relatively small group CONNING the rest, into giving the small group POWER to exploit them.
Conmunism MUST cheat, as it can NOT compete.
So, they cheat in Politics (elections) and they cheat in Commerce, by eliminating competition “by any means neccesary”.
Some expressed surprise that people “smart enough to be Billionaires” would continue funding the lame RDS campaign.
No, they are NOT Billionaires because they are smart at business, but because they CHRAT at business; buying up theur competition, of getting legislation passed which gives them an unfair advantage over their competition, their skill is in CHEATING.
Whether in the marketplace of goods and services, or in the marketplace of ideas, these “Conmunists” (neo-fuedalist, really as their is NO “ideology) can NOT compete, hence they MUST Cheat for their survival.
THATS what “by ANY means necessary’ MEANS; IT MEANS CHEAT.
So long as WE adhere to the silly notion that there are “rules” in a knife fight, WE are dead.
Kick em in the FORK, there ARE NO RULES.
“No, they are NOT billionaires because they are smart at business, but because they CHEAT at business;
buying up their competition, getting legislation passed which gives them an unfair advantage…their skill is in CHEATING.”
your statement is certainly true enough, but i don’t know if “cheating” even covers their behavior anymore.
the universe of the self appointed “elites” is small, highly incestuous, stealthy, and strategic.
they are so intertwined that they can get what they want by a word to the person who can give it to them at a birthday party for one of their own – the grantor in turn receiving an indulgence to be named later and redeemed as needed.
they hire each other, marry each other, talk to each other, do business with each other, socialize with each other, go to school with each other, cover up for each other, and so on and so on, exclusively.
their tentacles corrupt entire industries, governments, and countries.
we know them as the “big club”.
we do not see them, but their influence is behind the petty functionaries that appear in public,
and explains why those minions care not at all what we citizens think.
the ties that bind them can be hundreds of years old.
they truly believe they are superior beings.
i don’t think we can change their attitude, nor can we erase their stockpiled bounty.
so how do we fight the shadows behind all this?
always thought provoking, Dutch, and your use of the term “neo-feudalist” is the most accurate description of their ultimate goals that i have heard to date.
Coors is woke in the extreme. They just love them some pride parades.
Right, but drinking Bud Light is now akin to buying a rainbow shirt with the word “proud” on it. It makes a statement about who you are.
Truth be told Garth Brooks is not what he appears ..
Garth Brooks doesn’t think reselling used CDs should be allowed because he doesn’t get a cut of the sale. I think that makes him look like an azz.
Am I close?
Surely!
🤣
And he’s a low IQ moonbat.
Any more than Billy Ray Cyrus is. I keep waiting for him to disown that professional slut daughter of his. Keep waiting.
This is hilarious, and demonstrates the hubris that accompanies success that somehow forgets the roots of one’s success to be the folks who are paying to consume it- be it Garth’s music or Budweiser beer. Without customers there is NO business!!
Love the remark that Garth Brooks is opening a gay bar in Nashville.
Be careful. The site that initiated the story about investors pulling out and postponement of the opening, is a troll site that puts out fake news to make normal Americans look foolish by repeating their stories.
Dunning-Kruger-Times.com – THE DUNNING-KRUGER TIMES
In-Bev BudStupider cared not one little bit for their employees, their frontline workers never entered their mind when they handed their company over to a wokie, and now they’re playing the woe-is-our employees card. Too late.
I bet that woman is still collecting a pay check, sitting at home with her artificially inseminated children.
I’d bet my paycheck of artifically generated money on that fact.
“Oh dear.”
Yep. Just a real damn shame.
(sniffle)
Digression of the human being.
No beer here.. water or whiskey.
If you want a good laugh..
It’s so disgusting what’s going on. ABI is in a hostage crisis and we just keep blaming them and ignoring the forces driving it.
Of course they are also responsible in that they refuse to blow the whistle and explain what likely illegal things are going on to make this happen.
“Investors” like Blackrock can’t be MAKING money this way. More likely they are LOSING money and they are funded by all of the billions of missing dollars from the US government. Does anyone think they are doing this for profit? No. They are doing this for power.
The board controlling ABI is likely infiltrated with people who do not care about the company — just the agenda.
How did James O’Keefe get removed from Project Veritas? An infiltrated board of directors.
Everything has gone evil and whatever good people there might be are simply not appreciating the danger the world is in and they simply display cowardice.
Well, the cowards will get a coward’s reward… but what of the source of all of this?
I’ve been contacting all businesses displaying “pride month” crap. There was no such thing last year. This is a new and evil thing and nobody is taking a moment to notice it.
This isn’t merely a bunch of gays and lesbians marching in parades. This is and always has been about forcing this agenda onto children and nothing less than that.
This evil has to be faced down and denied by the MAJORITY. We are the MAJORITY.
Speak about it.
“Blackrock can’t be MAKING money this way”
Blackrock can make money by shorting Tranheuser Bush stock
I reckon
You have got it in one.
Bahahahahahaha!!! Get woke – go broke!!
There – I feel much better now!
It doesn’t seem like they care about going broke at all!
Do you seriously think the board care a hoot about A/B? They will short sell the stock, make a fortune, and then move on.
So. Much. FUN!
“Hey buddy, are you actually gonna drink troon juice?”
Every time I see someone buying it.
I have not seen anyone buying it. There are stacks of 12 packs in the cooler … and the price keeps going down.
The kids buy it because it’s now one of the cheaper beers.
More Cowbell
I saw Bud and Bud light offered at $13.99 for a 12-pack with 100% mail in rebate offer underneath in Eastchester NY yesterday at Walgreens. Hahaha
I’ve seen it for much lower than that at Harris Teeters…still no one buying it.
appeasing their rightfully peeved distributors.
I know one; not a happy former rich guy.
Reminds me of my S.E. Asia days in that at one point Miller High Life sat in the sun on the docks of Vietnam, turned very skunk, and sold for a nickel a bottle. Kinda worked out when your “chits” ran out for the month and wanted a cheap buzz, LOL. (Chits were the way to go to get food and beverages when your puny military wages petered out before payday) At the time as an E-4 I could get only $25 worth of chits a month.
I enlisted in the Army in Jan. of ’71 and the pay grade for E-1 was $99 a month. Puny really doesn’t describe it enough!. Granted, most everything necessary was paid for, but still not much leeway to live with.
Getting out of school and looking for a job, the common refrain heard was: come back after your military obligation is over and we’ll talk!
Rocky Bleier (Steelers) was my hero back then. His story “Fighting Back” was very interesting! He was an injured vet from ‘nam.
Damn right and that’s the way it should be today.
MAGA
AMERICA – LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!
Seriously how many beer drinkers are going to send in for their rebate?
O, you mean I need to mail you my receipts???
Corporate fascist has been buying up brand names and destroying those names, United States of America is a brand name and a big prize for whom ever can destroying it.
Too big to fail! Government bailout in the near future.
“Hey customers, if you won’t buy our tranny fluid, we will get the government to tax you and reroute it to us.
You can pay me now, or pay me later, but you’re gonna pay; AND, we gonna keep promoting perversion on you!
How do you like that, you ungrateful customers?”
Actually, pretty sure AB CAN take a tax write off for ALL of the unsold beer they have to dump, because its not sold after its “best buy” date.
Its a “Business loss”, just like any other.
So yeah, if you are still “paying taxes” and bemoaning how the Govt. is “wasting your tax dollars” then you can view it that YOU, ultimately are paying for this.
Hate to break it to you, but pretty sure thats the way “corporate taxes” work.
Got it in one.
The write off “business losses” keep you from paying taxes on income. That’s it!
However, it will not replace revenue that generates enough to replace cost of goods (COG), gross profit, which affects EBIDTA, ROI & ROE, thus affecting the value of company; much less cover the actual total losses of labor and materials manufacturing the product & the logistics of storage and transportation.
The write offs will only offset a fractional portion of the total loss.
Continuing down this path will lead to insolvency which will require a bailout or some type of bankruptcy, which the latter of the two solutions leaves the board and C-suite vulnerable to personal legal liability by investors for failing to do everything in their power to generate profits (fiduciary responsibility).
Yet they continue, which leads me to believe they know they can get a bailout.
Unfortunately, I still work and pay taxes, so yes, it pisses me off.
If they get a bailout, like the banks in the financial crisis, then those funds come directly from all taxpayers. Corporate welfare is the street lingo.
You can only do that if you’re making money. If you’re losing money it only lasts as long as your pockets are deep.
It seems like businesses don’t need customers anymore. Not really a business anymore, just a propaganda apparatus.
Progressives habitually double down on disaster.
Remember- in their universe, failure is never their fault. It’s always due to those grotty, unenlightened groundlings.
AB’s most recent “non-apology apology” boiled down to “come back to us and be better people.” I.e., the more like post-modern progressives you are, the more “enlightened” you can claim to be.
Somehow, they think that this is a winning strategy. “Let’s keep insulting the customers until they surrender.”
Academic progressives, journalistic ones, and political ones (including “social justice warrior” types) seemingly never learn from their mistakes.
Apparently, ones in business are no different, and not noticeably smarter.
clear ether
eon
The Budweiser ass hats never learned their lesson. Instead, they sashayed over the border to put on a spectacle in Canada. It’s almost like they didn’t want to learn a lesson. Meanwhile, their former customers are realizing that there are far better beers to be had than Bud’s bottled or canned urine.
Bud Light Slammed for Sponsoring Toronto Pride—’They Deserve to Go Broke’ (newsweek.com)
This is what puzzles me. Why on earth would anyone buy any corporate produced beer in America? I have drank beer all over the world, and just like coffee, what is offered up in America is one step shy of pisswater.
It’s just like every time the Ukrainian Army loses another 100,000 soldiers Blinken and Sullivan declare a bigger victory against Russia. These people have no shame or moral compass and simply double-down every time they fail no matter how obvious that failure is!
Very much like old style communists.
if we still had Monty Python they would have a field day.
You mean to tell ms that Biden’s Cabinet is NOT Monty Python? Sheesh.
No one can be THIS stupid. Given their latest commercial mocking their customers as hicks, this must be intentional.
They must somehow make more money by doing this, be intentionally destroying their brand or some other viable reason.
No one is this stupid.
They’re selling their stock short. That’s how they profit. Works like a charm.
Has to be someone on the other side who likes the long position.
they got that covered….a MAGA pension fund has the long position.
My son works for Americas oldest brewery – Yuengling, making tons of beers while working tons of OT. Thanks for your support Transheser Busch!
Hopefully, the employees can implore management to not follow the path of InBev, et al, something I read here recently that they apparently started upon the path with. They face pressures like PDJT’s lawyers face, you got a nice lifestyle there, hate to see anything happen to it, embrace the new normal. Sad but real.
Yuengling has some sketchy sponsorships too.
Yuengling for the win!!!
Local craft beer for the win. Socially, economically, and flavor-wise too.
https://www.newsweek.com/half-americas-10-most-popular-beers-have-lgbt-partnerships-1793173?amp=1
you have to admire their creativity. i mean just one marketing decision to crash their brand. Impressive. I don’t remember taking that class in business school.
The decision to use a “transgender” man to market Bud Light was NOT a mistake or an aberration. It was perfectly consistent with AB InBev’s DEI policy. Read it below.
AB InBev is no longer in the beverage business. They and other multinational corporations are now in the social change business. Their legacy products are now just delivery vehicles for marketing prescribed social narratives.
The CEOs of multinational corporations would rather destroy their brand than get crosswise with the anti-Christian elite who run it all. It’s actually a very SMALL club, and not only are we not in it, we are in its crosshairs.

Thank you. This is a succinct description of reality.
I think you are right. They did it with professional sports too. Destroy everything that binds us as a nation.
It is hard to build and easy to destroy. They get on corporate boards take them over and raid the companies by positioning themselves in advance for a fall.
How many jobs lost here? Another food manufacturing plant bites the dust. Worse, they get our cooperation in burning it all down. City centers burned down and the woksters cheer as another city falls.. They are hollowing out manufacturing and eliminating distribution chains.
Who needs bombs when you can just make the locals burn it down for you.
Today Target said, hold my beer.
All Budweiser had to do was apologize, explain how they got it so wrong. It’s too late now, there is no coming back from the stigma attached.
Click and watch video
Then read the replies.
She, and presumably the rest of upper management clearly despises their own customers (just like the GOPe). They wanted a customer base they approved of, so they essentially fired their existing customers. And are surprised when sales tumble.
And this is different from how the RNC has treated THEIR “Base”,…HOW?
Is that not what I said?
It worse than what the numbers say. Many of the sales they still make include rebates which makes a case cost about $3.50. So even the sales lose money.
With added benefit that they capture your personal data so they can market to you privately.
So the “marketing and advertising sector from awarding “creative marketer of the year” to Anheuser Busch at Cannes Lions, which is dubbed the “Oscars for the advertising industry.” results in BILLION in REVENUE LOST.
Let me guess, these are the same idiots handing out Nobel Peace Prizes?
None of Anheuser-Busch’s beer can hold a candle to any micro or craft beer, so I don’t know why anyone would drink that stuff anyway unless their taste buds were all dead.
It’s cheap beer marketed to people who can’t afford better beer, who are buying beer in volume for special events such as parties, and specifically to young people without money who are buying beer in volume (we’re talking under the legal drinking age young, by the way). Building brand loyalty in young people is the most important goal of alcohol marketing since it tends to last for life.
It would interesting to see what the sales decline looks like demographically: if the sales decline is general across all age cohorts, or if the sales decline is skewed predominantly towards older buyers. I suspect the latter is the case, and if so that is less damaging to AB over the long term. Or at least that is how AB would perceive the situation.
A friend of mine calls it weasel piss.
I’m your friend.
“It would appear that Anheuser-Busch the corporation, are refusing to accept or acknowledge their responsibility in creating this crisis for their brand. ”
And everyone knows the AH CEO, former CIA, has refused to accept responsibility.
Anheuser-Busch is locked in an embrace with perversion. It has not gone un-noticed. The change is well down the road to being irreversible.
No one seems to remember Genesis 19.
Do Boycotts Really Work? Another Look at the Bud Light Situation | Mises Wire
Refusing to buy a product in order to influence company policy is a boycott. What’s happening here is that people are switching brands. And as has been previously noted about 36 bajillion times, there’s nothing particularly unique about the beer so once people get used to buying something else, what’s going to bring them back?
Can you say “tax deduction for business loss”?
Tecate!! Red and Lite! Saludos
In Bev, Vato!
They can’t give the stuff away in some places.
There’s so much to work with here. First, there are tons of people (in my experience) like this in corporate America-especially the last 10 years – guys do it less convincingly (because other guys look at them like they are going to punch them) than women. Secondly, whoever hired her and signed off on her escapades is guilty of malpractice-I read on ZH that she and her boss were permanently separated. Third, the word salad nonsense that we are experiencing in all environments has to be called out at every turn. The fact that people can spin these nonsensical narrative yarns without challenge is so damaging to common sense discourse. Lastly, Bud got what was coming to them-Kid Rock and shot gun blasts are apt visual metaphors. I’d fire the CIA CEO. Very obviously does not know his brand and market.
There’s a kweer on my beer
Why does the CEO still have his job? This happened under his watch. He’s responsible. And there should be shareholder lawsuits now.
Drink actual beer, not watered down beer produced by globalist billionaires who want to bend you to their multifaceted agenda to “save the planet”.
Let’s Go, Brandon!
Wait… you mean images of a homosexual transvestite drama queen in a bubble bath didn’t boost beer sales!?
WTF is this world coming to?
Miller Coors is on that same speeding train-wreck too.
I do wonder why these liberal companies are self destructing.
It’s a reverse Cultural Revolution, Ma’am. They want us to destroy all of our institutional brands.
So hard for the Left to admit a mistake. Their whole ideology is predicated on blaming others.
I would not want to give these bunch of phonies a wooden nickel.
Get woke. Go broke.
This could be solved. Immediately! Blackrock’s attempt at destroying capitalism is backfiring. He demands they fulfill ESG or their financing is interrupted. As I said before:
The general consensus on comments I have received is if they are truly American companies, they would announce this situation to the American people (after having made tentative financial arrangements with several strong local banks and state banks for alternative financing) thus freeing themselves from tyrannical banks—which Blackrock is involved with . The American people on the whole would applaud and support these companies. The old saying “you can never comply your way out of tyranny” applies here.
The state and local banks would be happy, the companies would be happy, and the American people would be happy.
Problem solved!
Defund BlackRock!
10 trillion $$ in holdings. Good luck with that… 🤷♀️
There is a way to untangle this web of sh!t. The question is do we have the sand?
Blackrock, Vanguard, et al are funded by 401k’s, IRA’s, etc. and people don’t ever think about that.
First thing to do is for the states to get their money out of pension funds tied to Blackrock, Vanguard, and United. This is happening as we speak. Blackrock is financially vulnerable, so it should be the first to crack.
Bingo.
What people fail to understand is these woke corporations are global conglomerates and they don’t really care about losing 20%-30% market share HERE in the USA. Simplistically, let’s suppose the whole population of the USA 330 million drinks beer. Further let’s suppose China’s 1.4 billion and India’s 1.4 billion whole populations drink beer. 330 million beer drinkers versus almost 3 billion beer drinkers! Whether it’s Anheuser Busch, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Nike, Adidas, Facebook, Google, Twitter, Tic Toc, Hollywood, NBA, NFL, PGA etc. they can glorify the rainbow alphabet HERE in the USA, but they won’t try it in these other markets…maybe a flag here and there in our embassies etc. These corporations will bend over backwards to appease these growing markets…Supposedly, Lebron James is a “victim of racism” or human rights abuses here at home but real quiet about human rights abuses in China preserving his bottom-line or brand not to mention the brands that represent him…The same can be said about many other stars and their brands…
Does Sundance have great timing or what?
Anheuser Busch Finally Fires Pro-Trans Marketing Execs Who Destroyed Bud Light Brand
Two pro-trans marketing executives responsible for destroying the Bud Light brand with an advertising campaign featuring transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney have been fired by Anheuser Busch.
Group VP for Marketing Daniel Blake and Bud Light Marketing VP Alissa Heinerscheid are “gone, gone” after they were initially placed on leave, according to an anonymous source.
“To my understanding, if we publicly announced the word ‘fire,’ it opens up the potential for them to sue us. That’s why we said leave of absence,” said the source in a text message to the Daily Caller.
“The wholesalers would have had an absolute HAY DAY with leadership if they didn’t remove her.” (Or maybe a field day?)
So, if A-B believes the wounds are not self-inflicted because unenlightened customers who are “disinformed” on social media are to blame, and they’re putting that out publicly, I wonder why the need to put the marketing duo of Alissa Heinerscheid and Daniel Blake on “leave of absence”.
Clearly their socially conscious approach was too much for low “brau” Bud Light consumers to understand and embrace, as well as a total waste of their obvious marketing talent, right Mr. Doukeris?
Why aren’t they back to work yet to lead the next Bud Light ad campaign? Or better yet, the classic original Budweiser?
Oh, you say that their Mulvaney marketing initiative wasn’t really an advertisement even though it reached an obviously massive audience?
Hmmm… I wonder if you could tell us what a marketing team was even needed for then?
How about you have the courage of your convictions, Michel, and just own it? Nobody believes you weren’t in the final approval process for this. Own it, coward.
Well, well—this just in: Mulvaney marketing duo canned by A-B!
Does this mean Doukeris is stepping down too? /s
4 of July sales will show the results of woke like wet fuses on fireworks
The commercial landscape is undergoing a massive change. In 20 years I predict these brands will be gone or in businesses other than what they became known for.

Waiting for Woke DEI to DIE.
At least Alcoholics Anonymous is still Faith based.. Might be time for that meeting y’all have been putting off. Maybe this is the wake up call many have been waiting for. Nobody ever said booze in any form was going to be good for you.
