Footage showing crates of Bud Light getting blown up with an artillery gun has been posted on social media and received more than 350,000 views.
The clip was from a video shared online by self-described "gun lover" Stefan Gol and shows cases of Bud Light being destroyed by military weapons to the sound of Ted Nugent's 'Come And Take It.'
Bud Light was targeted by a conservative boycott after working with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney and sending over a personalized can to celebrate her "day 365 of womanhood."
A 37-second segment from Gol's video was posted on Twitter by Ron Flipkowski, who claims to "monitor and report right-wing extremism," and it got over 350,000 views and 340 retweets. Flipkowski added: "The War on Bud Light continues."
Gol posted the full three-minute 56-second video on Twitter. It begins with a man drinking from a can of Bud Light, and immediately finding his clothes are switched so he's wearing a pink dress, and has painted nails. After drinking a different brand of beer, and being transformed back so he is wearing stereotypically male clothing, the man gathers up crates of Bud Light and takes them to a shooting range.
Here the crates are destroyed using an artillery gun, WW2 era battle tank and flamethrower.
Accompanying the video on Twitter, Gol wrote: "@KidRock we loved your #BoycottAnheuserBusch video but we had to make a slightly beefier version at our ranch @drivetanks with more bang...Disclaimer: Zero bud light was purchased to make this video, it was sitting in my garage from before they went woke."

I love the way the media in perfect unison started calling males “her.” Including supposed conservative outlets. Nobody I know in real life does that. Nobody.
Kinda like Keeeeeeeeeve - ALL of them, all at once just decided it’s time to change language... like Communists and Nazis.
Destroying already purchased beer is wasteful, but can be entertaining.
What would be effective is showing AB giving out free beer and that being destroyed, dumped, spilled, etc. as it costs AB.

Hilarious!!!!
Five weeks now since the Bud Light advertising disaster. The boycott just seems to continue growing. Most marketing mistakes are discussed for a few days and then forgotten. The Coke/Classic Coke mistake of a few decades ago is the only thing I can think of that was similar, but I don’t think even it was this bad. And, as I recall they admitted they had made a mistake and tried to correct it.

“This is no longer about a boycott. This is about executive survival, which matters far more to CEOs and the people they pay. As Mel Brooks’ Gov. William J. Le Petomane memorably declared, “We’ve gotta protect our phony, baloney jobs, gentlemen!””

Blew up real good.
What’s important to remember is the the leopard does not change its spots. They’ve already shown you their true colors and whatever they do next is just damage control. Even if Budweiser should repent and spend a week in sack cloth and ashes, what must never be forgotten is that their contrition is nothing more than a ploy to protect their P&L sheet.
Never forget. Never forgive. Find another damn beer to drink.

They have handled this in about the worst way they possibly could. There is something I find strange about all this, though. Bud, like just about every other big company, has been woke for a long time. This is from 2016:
“Bud Light Gets Into the Pride Ad Game in Predictably Watery Fashion”

I wonder how this, a relatively minor issue compared to their numerous ads and sponsorships of homosexual functions, got so much media traction. It’s kind of strange. It almost feels like we’re being manipulated to the outrage of the week.
In 2016, they weren’t demanding pronouns, bathrooms, and most of all, our children, all while being backed up by legislation.
LMAO, now that is a peaceful protest
I see your mistake here. You refer to AB animal liquid products as “beer.”
Did the Newsweek urinalist pee its undies whennit wrote this article?
