If you drink beer you likley drink an anheuser busch product.
Not necessarily, Miller and Coors own a good share of the market, even more since the BL marketing team shit the bed.
AB has a huge bar at the Sturgis rally and that place was a ghost town from all the reports I saw. Half a million people and most are beer drinkers and are there to party and AB couldn't give away their products.
Miller and Coors, both of whom publicly support the LGBTQ community and have previously done pro LGBTQ spots. So the people who left AB over a beer can simply chose another company which supports the cause they left another company over.
That said it has all been worth it. Just to see Kid Rock so up in his feelings over a beer that he literally got choked up while shooting his hissy fit for social media. Meanwhile he didn't have the balls to ever pull Bud Light from his bar
Huge advantage with a dvr. I rarely watch programming live and skip over commercials when playing the file. I'm not interested in commercials that promote political or social stances, period. I know where I can find more information on the topic if desired. I watch tv for enjoyment. Commercials with political or social stances take away my enjoyment, thus banned.

I don't watch commercials at all, but the NFL Network game I just left on and watched/did stuff and saw the BL commercial.
I don't know why anyone would willingly drink that stuff

Our kid would not hurt a fly, was kind as a child and she'd be the first to help a person/critter in need etc. There is NO recruitment of kids or forcing her lifestyle on anyone.
This post is remarkably poignant.
Bravery by PF’s admission, and his child’s.
For me personally, live your life, just dont bring it to the streets, and scare the horses.

I saw that and just laughed. Like we know who you are now Bud Light, and for them to make a commercial like they are for the "everyday working man fan" is just laughable. I'd love nothing more than to see that company go out of business, and theor beer sucks anyways..
IT certainly doesnt smack of being authentic, does it?
I'll drop this and then I am out of this thread;

I wish the world could live and let live, but I also wish for peace in the middle east...
Love you brother!

I think his point is more that they own so many
brands that you are probably drinking something they own without knowing it.
So don't misunderstand me: I'm not digging on transgender people. I'm digging on the ridiculous notion that transgenders would drink anywhere near the level of Bud Light that 'frat bros' would and that's what the VP of Marketing was saying: she wanted to 'elevate' Bud Light from partying college bros. Being an elitist Coast resident, she hadn't the vaguest idea that this would instigate vitriol with the mouth breathers that guzzle the shit like water. Why do that? You do it because you're a myopic dumb shit that probably would never, ever drink not only Bud Light, but any Lite beer, and couldn't be farther personally removed from the demographic that does.
