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.

“ Doubt that the real Anheuser Busch would disavow wokeness like this.”
Agreed. He would never use those words so directly and accurately about immoral libtards
Fake News
No, it’s an obvious satire site. I mean look at the bottom of the page:
“Copyright 2023 — Paid Liberal Trolls of America.”
Yep. Not believing it.
I want to see that liberal B in the soup kitchen line.
She is a POS,
It’s satire. The Busches don’t own the company anymore, and the Anheusers are long gone. Eberhard Anheuser’s daughter married Adolphus Busch (and her sister married his brother) in the 19th century, and I don’t think the Anheusers have been heard from since. In 2008, August Adolphus Busch IV had the company bought out from under him by InBev.
Not sarcasm. A poor attempt at satire. Very, very poor.
Very poor attempt. Really lame.
I thought the ad was appropriate. Lite beer for lite men.
Just searched on this. Sadly, it didn’t happen.
Have the moderator put “Parody” in the title
Perhaps this Country has been taken by Muslims.
Guys Are really gonna be ticked off Now!
I would say that their screw-up is worse than Coke changing their recipe mixture back in the 80s.
Dunning-Kruger effect is when someone of low ability in one skill area overestimates their skill in that area.
E.G.....”I played defensive tackle at 5’10” 200 lbs. in high school...and I am sure I can do it successfully in professional football leagues.”

I thought that sounded familiar. :D
To be fair, the article could have been written by a sneaky AB exec trying to compensate for falling sales in one sector by boosting them in another.
Well, at least it’s still not the level of Coca-Cola mistake.
That may be.
The damage they cause to the brand is something I know.
When somebody settles on a beer, they stick with it.
It does not matter what it is.
Queer dude done killed Bud Light.
Well they have lost $5 Billion
That could be considered a form of “suffering”...
A crappy attempt at satire, the “Dunning Kruger” label is a pretty clear tip-off.
Michelob and Natural Light are owned by AB’s parent company. Lol
