Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
Just realized:
“We pretend we’re patriotic. We give lip service towards honoring and respecting the people who made our country great. But we’re really a bunch of whiny, northeastern liberals who hate you and everything you stand for. We’re Anheuser-Bush beer, the makers of Bush beer, and the makers of Bud Light. And no, I’m not spelling Bush incorrectly. No new taxes, a thousand points of light, mission accomplished, we’re all socialists now.”
Laughing Out Loud!!! Not getting your ass off the hook!!!!
I didn’t hear an apology in there. Only explanations and excuses.
really sounds like an apology
So it sounds like we are past denial and anger and into the bargaining phase.
“This was one single can given to one social media influencer,” the letter states. “It was not made for production or sale to the general public. This can is not a formal campaign or advertisement.”
Yes, it was a formal campaign. Until you fire the advertising team that came up with this fiasco, issue an actual apology to your drinkers, you will continue to lose money.
I read this when it first came up, wondered why it wasn’t repeated.
You made your bed AB now live with it.
P0
I assume, then, that AB will be suing him for the damage done to its brand?
They got the attention they wanted for the “one can”... they just misunderstood the impact of mocking their brands main consumer.
Where have I heard this excuse before... oh yeah.
“Just the tip”
AB Spokesman: Although all the animals have escaped into the wild we still have control of the zoo.
“a new VP of Bud Light marketing has been announced.”
LOL!!
There was more than a single can - there was at least a full six pack. A small lie, but a lie nonetheless.
“Influencer” - leftist word for stark raving mad, cross-dressing lunatic.
Seems the influence went in a direction that the woke-blinded “leaders” didn’t anticipate.
My favorite beverage store has NO Budweiser products in the cooler or on the shelf. Still has other AB products for now, but that could change as people realize what the left is trying to do TO us and our children.
Without acknowledging and truly apologizing for this situation don’t expect the trajectory of sales to change.
“We didn’t mean for it to blow up in our faces”.. while a true statement, doesn’t change anything.
“In reality, the Bud Light can posted by a social media influencer that sparked all the conversation was provided by an outside agency without Anheuser-Busch management awareness or approval,”
While this may also be a true statement it doesn’t change the fact the can was made, and you haven’t distance yourself or your company in any way from this sicko.
This is a man who pantomimes being a woman to an audience of children and teenagers, you should be apologizing to everyone for ever allowing your product to be associated in any way with this.
Yet you STILL haven’t apologized for it, because you are afraid to state the truth.
Being sorry you created a firestorm, is not the same as being sorry for what you did that create it. Whether intentional or not.
Want to change the narrative and pivot you need to take a stand... by refusing to you just ensure the direction of your beer sales will continue downwared.
If I ran Bud I’d be apologizing for letting my brand become in any way associated with this individual. He is free to live his life however he wants, but we do not agree and do not promote men pantomiming being women to children and teens.
Need to have the testicular fortitude to stand up to the lavender mafia, and the woke left and say... No he is not a woman, and while free to live his life however he feels, we want no part of it. We are sorry our brand was in any way involved with this insanity and we will never ever let it happen again.
We have worked tirelessly for generations to be the beer hard working men and women want to enjoy at the end of the day, and we are deeply sorry that our brand was in any way associated with this freak show.
If they did that the left woke mob would go insane against them and if they truly stood up and had a back bone and didn’t back down and continued to speak the truth and take the heat for it from these fools they would be able to pivot and probably win their lost drinkers back and then some... but they won’t.. because that would take balls.
blah blah blah woke bs.
“was provided by an outside agency without Anheuser-Busch management awareness or approval”
Then why did they put A-B marketing executives on leave?
Apparently A-B is not too bright. One can was enough because one photo of that one can can be turned into 1M or 50M in a matter of hours on the Internet where they will live forever.
Besides, the custom one-off can isn’t the point. Catering to the woke trans mafia is the problem. A problem everyone in the western world is having to deal with and we are full-on sick of these criminal pervs doing things like going into ladies bathroom’s and locker rooms as men pretending to be a female. Something they can never be as long as they live. Biology is immutable science.
Anyone born a male will be a male for life. Period. Full stop. Same with women pretending to be a man. It’s a documented mental illness. Not something the general public should even be hearing about except as a blurb on page 37.
The Drag Queen pervs are another big problem that needs to be solved ASAP. The sick bastards should have a protection order slapped on every single one that prevents them from being within 200 yards of anyone under the age of 18.
