It sounds like no one is believing the official explanation.
Explanation released yesterday was that this was not officially part of a marketing campaign. They sent one can of beer to one YouTube influencer, and it was not meant to be a marketing campaign and it was not meant to be any sort of statement about transgender people.
And officially, they said that some outside marketing firm actually performed this action, and that Anheuser-Busch management had no knowledge of, and no approval of doing anything , relating to Dylan Mulvaney.
Officially that is what they said. I wonder how many people really believe that official explanation. I wonder how many people in Management in Anheuser-Busch, actually believe what they’re telling the public.
If it were true, it basically says that the AB/InBev corporate suits are incompetent at doing their jobs if NO ONE knew anything about it.....................
What pisses me off about that statement is there is zero accountability. Zero ownership. Their leadership is gutless. If they were truly unaware, they’re useless. If they were aware but ashamed to admit it, they’re liars. Either way, the entirety of leadership at that company should be fired and replaced with principled people, regardless of side they choose.
Man up for Godsake.
Officially that is what they said. I wonder how many people really believe that official explanation. I wonder how many people in Management in Anheuser-Busch, actually believe what they’re telling the public.
And yet, they still don't go so far to say that Mulvaney does not represent their corporate values. They are still trying to thread the needle by not offending the LGBT crazies and admitting they made a mistake.
The only way out for AB is to say that they made a mistake, and Dulvaney's activities are an insult to real women.
They have to pick a side, and they think they can just wait this out by taking the position that they don't want to pick a side.
“ And officially, they said that some outside marketing firm actually performed this action, and that Anheuser-Busch management had no knowledge of, and no approval of doing anything , relating to Dylan Mulvaney.”
We all saw the video from the dingbat marketer responsible for it. She was bragging about it. And no one buys the notion that senior execs did not sign off on it. They should have just admitted their mistake. Now they are forever Transhouser Bush. Might as well swap the Clydesdales for rainbow colored poodles.
So, an outside marketing firm has the ability to somehow imprint an image - any image - on one of your products, and no one authorized it or knew about it?
I might believe that if the image was taped on the can.
