Miller Lite’s ‘pro-woman’ commercial associates women with ‘$#!T’
American Thinker ^ | May 15, 2023

Video of the commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NtBQWZqaHo

Bud Lite made a terrible mistake when it used Dylan Mulvaney as a pitchman (pitch thing?) to market its product. While that was happening, though, a Miller Lite advertisement was floating under the radar. To its credit, it was pandering to actual women, not mentally delusional fake women. However, it is one of the most disgusting, vulgar, crude ads I’ve ever seen—and, ironically, it’s all framed as giving women their due.

The ad’s narrator/central figure is a busty young woman in her 20s or 30s, dressed in a loose-fitting sweater and a short skirt. She looks like a graduate from Smith who “identifies” as a “cis woman.” And she’s angry. Why is she angry? Because people no longer know that, historically, brewing used to be women’s work.

What that claim misses is that, historically, domestic brewing was women’s work; commercial brewing was always men’s work. But back to the angry young woman in the ad.

That forgotten history is bad, but what’s really bad is that the industry not only ignored women’s contributions but “they put us in bikinis.” She then walks into a set with walls plastered with the kind of beer ads that began in the 1970s, showing women in swimsuits, with the implied promise that…well, I’ve never been quite clear about the implied promise.

If you drink beer, sexy women will love you? Sexy women drink beer? Beer goggles make all women sexy? Whatever. The point was that the ads catered to their primarily male drinkers and associated the product with beautiful women. That’s because in the normal male psyche, beautiful women are a positive association, and you want that for your product.

Let’s not divide our ire.

The miller idiocy was simple idiocy. The bud light one hits on a clear topic of the moment

What’s hilarious is that angry woman in the ad has been featured in bikinis and lingerie in other ads. Her work is being shared all over Twitter. It appears that she was directed to be an angry feminist for this ad. 🤣🤣

She’s a model/actress. She plays the role that she’s paid to play.

It’s Miller that decided to ‘$#!T’ on itself and its customers.

Thousands of years ago beer was discovered as a byproduct of food preparation and that was women’s work.

Yup.

But if at the same time we target everything that the Marxists do, we then only weakly tap them everywhere.

Focus on one - the Budlight issue and we can achieve goals

There are English occupational surnames with feminine suffixes: Brewster, Baxter, Webster, Dyster/Dexter. Maybe not Spinster, though.

"-ster" is a "feminine suffix?!"

Then what would the masculine form look like?!

And if it had been left to women, we'd still be drinking fermented, cloudy, slightly alcoholic barley water (yeech!) out of stone mugs.

"The commercial is so bad, it looks like a parody of a bad commercial."

Didn't President Trump address "them" as "She/It"?

Perhaps, but one of the oldest written documents known to man is a recipe for beer, inscribed on a tablet in Sumerian.

They had a softball from Bud Lite that they could hit out of the park but Miller Lite whiffed it.

Because of their lackadaisical food handling resulting in food spoilage?

The “one issue” to focus on is the woke destruction of society issue.

Bud Light and Miller are both small individual manifestations of the overshadowing agenda.
