Bud Light sales are down more than 80 percent this morning after Kid Rock let it be known that he really dislikes their use of a trans person in marketing campaigns. In response, Augustus Anheuser III personally fired the entire marketing department at the company.
“We have a very particular retail customer base,” said Anheuser, “they don’t like wokeness. They don’t agree that they should have to accept immoral people and their lifestyles.”
Former marketing director Joe Barron says he doesn’t regret the decision. “Every company does a pride thing. These idiots are all jumping to Coors when Coors started it. They’ve been advocating for LGBTQ rights for decades.”
That doesn’t matter, according to the vibe across the internet. If you’re a real American who loves guns and God and thinks Kid Rock is cool even though he writes sh***y music, you’re probably in the process of switching beers. Michelob light is a great alternative, as is Natural Light.

No. Not real. They will not fire anyone and they will not suffer anything for it.
A poor attempt at sarcasm, I believe.
Just the Marketing Department? Investors need to fire the entire damned Board of Directors. The losses here are enormous.
This looks fake. Doubt that the real Anheuser Busch would disavow wokeness like this.
That story appeared days ago and was not true. and the last name is Busch.
Fake news
Mods may wish to consider deleting this thread.
A thousand apologies. I should have searched for more sources prior to posting.
Oh cool. Now I can go back to drinking Bud Light now that they have corrected course.

Fake Anti Woke News!
Lol! I thought it might be OK when the source wasn’t Babylon Bee or the Onion.
Agreed. This is why I give zero sympathy for any company that shoves wokeness in their conpany. I simply will never again buy their product.
Gillette, kelloggs, amazon, disney...the list of companies I will not buy from is long and gets longer seemingly every day.
It is kinda obvious when the recommended switch is also AB.
“Is this real?”
Cannot be real, as the Justice Department would have already announced a HATE CRIME investigation if they really did try marketing their beer to anyone other than cross-dressers.
“Every company does a pride thing.”
Even Saudi companies like Aramco? Well that’s news don’t you think?
If it’s too good to be true it’s either not that good or not that true.
Sad.
Because Budweiser could have become the all time favorite beer of 96% of Americans...
🙃🤣🤣🤣
