The Great Budweiser Lie.

[GO FOR 3] If You Believed The Altruism of That “Hero” Ad, You’re The Mark They’ve Been Waiting For

Rare is the moment when the great brain trust at GF3 dedicates itself to anything but the endless toil of bringing you the wisest college football news and opinions your $0 entry fee can buy you. This is one such moment.

Provided you do not live in Soviet Russia, you are no doubt familiar with the Budweiser ad which showed the surprised young LT receiving an unexpected heroÂ’s welcome home. A ticker tape parade greeted this young warrior, who was picked from among many deserving entrants to ride triumphantly atop the Budweiser wagon.
Teevee advert campaign deception, props, politicians, big money.... who knew.

#4  I thought they were talking about the puppy and the clydsdales.

Ever since Bud was bought by the Brazilians how can we trust them? Better stick to Stone IPA and Kona's Longboard just to be safe.

#3  Dumb-dumb that *I* am, I thought the ad was honoring the service of veterans.

The fact that it eluded my cynicism detector is a testament to the cleverness of the ad agency.

And it made me smile.
