The 3 likely ways Bud Light disaster might end – and only one is good news

[Fox News] Budweiser-Dylan Mulvaney controversy is no longer about a boycott. It's a matter of executive survival

Remember when drinking Bud Light wasn’t a heavy topic? Now, one of the anchor products for Budweiser is dragging down an entire company.

Just the other day, video surfaced of fans lined up to get beer in Boston’s renowned Fenway Park. Lined up at every concession stand but one — the one selling Budweiser and, especially Bud Light.

This is no longer about a boycott. This is about executive survival, which matters far more to CEOs and the people they pay. As Mel Brooks’ Gov. William J. Le Petomane memorably declared, "We’ve gotta protect our phony, baloney jobs, gentlemen!"

#3 Warning BUD Drinkers are subject to sudden Sexual Confusion.

ODD to note: I am seeing a 24 can case of BUD is back up to $19.99 now from $14.95 - $17.99 a week ago.
I guess it's that time of the month.☺

#5 Define 'Good News'.

They left out the part where politicians were tapped to get in front of the cameras and use their influence to stand down the boycott.

#6 "Can we stop linking to Fox News?"

M.Kelly coined the term which I will forever use: Foxweiser.

#8 ^ Stumbled across Buddy Brown's the other day. Haven't listened yet but going by the views it shouldn't be too bad.

#10 Lose jobs, they are doing what was expected of them. To quote the movie Zulu:

Can't you see that old boy up on the hill? He's counting your guns. Testing your firing power with the lives of his warriors.

Ace reports on the global advertising initiatives and goals, some shit called GLAM or something, which pushes just such things. Like I've been saying, if it weren't Dylan is would have been some other dude.

They knew Nike, who had been pushing female athletics seriously for over a decade would catch hell putting a soy boy in a tube top and calling it serious exercise gear.

Maybalene knew that making this the guy the....ugh...face of their cosmetics would chode longtime users.

I think here they had a controlled burn which got loose, then bungled the containment which increasing fire conditions. But because we are not serious people and are favor hires they didn't understand there are no local releases with the internet, then brought in politicians and, uggghhh, the boyfriend of Peter Buttgig, talk out the fire by chokechaining lifelong customers.

We'll see, but if sales of Coronoa and Modela were flat or even dropped over Cinco de Mayo, well...

2REARS dropping Shock Top and Goose Island is grand even if for the wrong reasons.

#12 Dylan is not a woman but I wouldn't call it a man, either. Male yes, man no.

#13 At some point they will seek a government bailout. There is no rational case for one, but they will seek one. They are probably already networking that type of solution. It is what low integrity executives do. Full disclosure- I once worked for GM.
