Actually that comment is pretty clever. The owner of Budweiser is Anheuser-Busch, so he was basically saying he prefers Bud Light to Bud Light. :batting:

Right wingers are boycotting Budwieser because it's Woke (or something like that). It came up this week, but I ignored it. More noise.

Jack Daniels too, also. Lots of videos of rubes pouring it down toilets and whatnot, shooting (full) Bud beer cans, etc.

Budweiser used a "trans" person in an advert, and got a ton of free advertising as a result. Their money was well spent because people on all sides are stupid.

That's basically it.

Taken in that context, Sorbo was probably mocking everyone.

Fuck sake, I don't even like the guy and you lot have me defending him.

Sorbo is pretty stupid, I used to follow him. Doubt he was mocking everyone.

Concur. (Except about once following him. :talktothehand: )

And Bud Light is produced by AB InBev, which brews almost everything.

This Slate article notes Anheuser-Busch has been woke for decades.

Budweiser, Jack Daniels, Marlboros and HD motorcycles are integral to the iconography of the RWNJs. And they've been moaning about Harvester-Davidson because they they have manufacturing sites in India and Thailand. Philip-Morris is also socially conscious.

How can their teeny brains handle rejecting all the imagery that defines them?

Pretty soon, it will come to pass that these people are going to have to brew their own beer, build their own car, grow their own food, make their own clothing, etc. Because they will have no places left to shop. :mrgreen:

Looks like Coors and Budweiser are losing a BUNCH of customers with their woke marketing but they're gonna make it all back with their shrewd investments in business that sell diabetes medication and truck nuts.

Coors got attacked too?-- or did they get bought-out by AB-Inbev? I recall in like 80s because they were super anti LGBTQ. It did not work out well for them.

What many of those idiot companies who attack minority groups don't think about is -- they can be vocal attack a certain group -- but those people have family and friends who are not going to buy their sh&t.

Chick-Fil-A had to deal with a PR nightmare over that. :P

I think a lot of very large companies have realized that it's in their best interests to appeal to minorities, women, gay folks, trans, etc. Those are their customers. Those are their employees. Those are their families.

As far as Coors, a simple Google search pointed me to The 2023 Coors Light Denver Pride Parade coming on June 25. :dance:

And Anheuser-Busch owns Michelob.

Maybe these right wing beer drinkers can just stop drinking. It's probably easier than trying to find a beer not made by a "woke" brewery.

God, the "recommended" shit I'm getting on facebook at the moment is fucking stupid.

And if I posted them you would be insulted that I called half of them stupid. There's plenty of stupidity to go around right now.
