Fake sponsorship
We put out an incorrect promotional poster which included Bud Light as a sponsor,’ a post to Flagstaff Pride’s Facebook read Wednesday evening, as Modelo Especial dethroned Bud Light as the top-selling beer in America after 22 years.
‘Attached is the correct poster,’ the org added, attaching a near identical sign - sporting several men in drag - without the Bud Light callout.
A spokesperson for Bud Light parent Anheuser-Busch - which also owns Modelo - further confirmed to DailyMail.com the partnership was not on the level, writing that ‘Bud Light was mistakenly listed as a sponsor.’
The rep wrote Wednesday evening, ‘Bud Light is not a sponsor of this event’ - while pointing to the new, ‘corrected’ version of the poster.
So they want to ruin another of their own brands?
