Goodbye Spuds MacKenzie, the original party animal and pitch man for Bud Light, the nation’s leading beer.
The most clever ad campaign ever, Spuds debuted during the 1987 Super Bowl game. The nation instantly fell in love with the bold bull terrier in dark glasses and a Hawaiian shirt.
There’s Spuds, looking good in baggies on a surfboard in an ad titled “Hang Twenty.” Now that’s fun, appealing and catchy — and, most importantly, apolitical — in a way that TikTok’s dreary Dylan Mulvaney and Anheuser-Busch’s Alissa Gordon Heinerscheid are not and cannot be.
...
[Anheuser-Busch’s Alissa Gordon Heinerscheid:] “It’s like we need to evolve and elevate this incredibly iconic brand. What does evolve and elevate mean? It means inclusivity,” she opined. “It means having a campaign that’s truly inclusive and feels lighter and brighter and different. And appeals to women and to men. And representation, isn’t it the heart of evolution?”
She went on: “We had this hangover, I mean Bud Light had been kind of a brand of fratty, kind of out-of-touch humor, and it was really important that we had another approach.”
This corporate jabber and diversity talk might wow the sisters and woke crowd. It makes many of her actual beer drinkers want to barf.
Born into a high-powered lawyer family with connections extending from Texas to Southern California and the East, she attended Groton, Harvard and then Wharton. Alissa is the ultimate brand manager and Prep-Woke Girlboss.

No and no.
she’s selling kool aid
the problem is
her company makes beer
It seems that the real social pathology is that people choose their products based on issues that have nothing to do with the actual product itself.
Spuds was known to hump the peg of anything. Freak.
spuds was a girl
Exactly.
Guinness has been advertising to the gay population for decades.
Still delicious.
To me, that tells you all you need to know.
Obviously a lesbian
Wow
She attended Groton.
So she knows how to cook potatoes.
Personnel is policy.
Who cares? It’s a foreign company that makes shit beer and hires the creepiest tranny ever created. Drink Yuengling and ignore Inbev. They will go away.
Ain’t singin’ for Miller
Don’t sing for Bud
I won’t sing for politicians
Ain’t singin’ for Spuds
This note’s for you
-Neil Young
If I recall correctly, Spuds was also trans—a female dog that was identified as a male.
Before Spuds there was Bud Man “the dauntless defender of quality”.
It is very telling, they are more afraid of people who most likely do not drink their beer, than they are of people who do. These companies live in fear of the left, it is time they lived in fear of regular Americans. Vive le boycott.
Looks like the Clydesdales and her have something in common.
>Remember this, despite all the veiled semi-apologies by Anheuser-Busch as well as the condescending return of the Clydesdales in a “patriotic” commercial recently run as a sop to their fleeing customer base, not to mention a rather pathetic attempt by Don Jr to stop the boycott, they still have not fired this woman.<
Mulvaney is NOT A WOMAN! Please don’t insult real women by referring to phony as a woman.
He was referring to Alissa pictured above.
I wasn’t referring to Mulvaney (who is obviously a guy) but to the woman marketing VP who decided to launch this promotion.
