Bud Light partners with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney for March Madness

[CJF]

You know you guys, this was posted on April 1st, are we sure this isn't a joke?

I think it might be. There's no direct statement about it ("Please welcome our new spokesperson!") on bud light's twitter page or anywhere else that I can see. Just the video on dylan's instagram and then everyone running with it.

 

[MigGunslinger]

you think it's a trap?

transgender activist posts it, company says no, bam they're anti alphabet.
company says yes to avoid the backlash from the alphabet, alienates most of their customer base.

seems like holding a company hostage if it really is just a joke.
I'll say this, other than the video posted above on instagram there's 0 mention of this anywhere on AB's website. It's not listed under campaigns.
Every news story I've read says that AB hasn't commented on it and they only cite this instagram post as proof that it's actually a thing.


edit:
I hope that if this isn't an official AB campaign that they sue the fuck out of activist for damaging their brand, but they won't, because that would make them look bad.

Apparently Newsweek got a statement from AB:

A spokesperson for Anheuser-Busch told Newsweek on Monday that the company "works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics. From time to time we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney."

The spokesperson added that the commemorative can "was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public."

Man, while i dont drink it, I remember the good old days of "Bud light saluted you , real men of genius" which then led to a pretty epic or funny commercial.

 

[Tiha]

Do any of you guys remember the Sports illustrated April fools joke?

About the pitcher.

They went so far as to actually print it. Doesn't make the BL commercial seem too extreme.

Did you find anything out there other than dylan's instagram post? Any official commercial or anything like that?

Damn. Some woke marketer badly misunderstands their target demographic.

Bud Light ir bud heavy?

 

[Redrider]

Lol gives a whole new meaning to “ this buds for you”

 

[Tmackcj5]

Bud Light is far from my favorite drinking beer, but for general fucking around in the garage, doing lawn work, and sitting in my deer blind, it's been my choice for as long as I can remember.


I will not be buying it ever again.

Keystone is my "drink in place of water" beer. It's cheaper and I think it tastes better.

 

[Levigarrett76]

Why do companies feel the need to open their god damn mouths at all? Just shut up, make and sell your products

 

[pennsylvaniaboy]

Bud Light ir bud heavy?

Let Me Google That

 

[Provience]

Let Me Google That

This isn't a question I want messing with my Google ads

I'll take a banquet beer

The only thing on that list that I've had in the last 10 years is Bohemia when I was in the DR 2 years ago. And that was only because the bar I was at didn't have Presidente.

Looks like it is starting, how insensitive during national husbands week and all

Bud Light faces boycott over trans activist partnership: "Never drink it"

The beer brand is facing calls for its product to be poured down the drain after partnering with Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender influencer and activist.

www.newsweek.com

"I have never wanted a drink less than this," Robby Starbuck, a GOP congressional primary candidate in Tennessee, said. He then added: "Message to conservative families from Bud Light seems to be: We will encourage and even celebrate the erasure of men and women along with all the values you care about. They've gone totally woke. Will you ever spend your money with them now?"

Yeah, it's definitely not a big loss, lol.

 

[45acp]

Are they woke, or do they believe it's in their best interest to act this way?

Good question.

 

[KenV]

Ah good, Tecate isn't on the list. They support SCORE/HDRA and the beer tastes like beer.

Victoria is good but it isn’t always easy to find.

 

[PoBoy84]

AB inbev bought out Wicked Weed in Asheville as well a few years ago. Back when I drank, I'd spend easily a couple hundred bucks in their Funkatorium on barrel aged sours.

 

[pennsylvaniaboy]

Yeh, I dont usually buy any of those beers anyways....

 

[Texas97]

Buncha beer snobs up in here.

I drink natty’s and I don’t much care what people think of it either.


I used to drink bud light 15ish years ago.

That's like saying you drive a Chevy but don't care for GM. Natty and bud light and twins

Presidente sucks ass. And I've drank it in the DR. Better money spent is a handle of rum for $8 and some 3 liters of sprite for a refreshing and effective Santa libre

 

[Ksand]

A beer company making beer induced decisions?

Is it because it takes a bunch of BLs to make it look good?

 

[Landslide]

Right?

Bud light is not sipped on in a bathtub dancing to hold music.
Bud light is used in place of water to keep you hydrated and just this side of drunk in 100 degree weather working on your rig in a gravel driveway.
Bud light is what you put on tap at the family reunion when you are trying to get lucky.
Bud light is the waterfall of empty cans that come pouring out of the car at a DUI stop.

It used to be a good beer and had some of the best ad commercials. It’s truly sickening how shitty our society has become.
