Bud Lite is taking it from both ends now. Their attempt to downplay their endorsement of Mulvaney has really upset the woke left.
Bud Lite is looking for middle ground that doesn’t exist.

Sounds like this Bud Lite fellow should be one of the favorites in the 2024 Republican primaries…

That’s why I like companies that just sell things and shut the hell up.
I feel like Dunkin donuts has always done a good job of staying out of politics.

This is why they should’ve stayed silent after the backlash. They’re just making it worse and keeping eyes on the issue.
You can’t avoid offending people these days. People assume too much. Avoid lgbtqxyzlmnov advertising and you’re a bigoted company that hates gays. Or blacks. Or Asians. Or whichever demographic you didn’t highlight in your commercial. Probably can’t even use the old Budweiser frogs now thanks to Alex Jones.
Use a gay spokesperson and you’re pro-gay groomers raping kids in elementary school libraries with an Uber secret tranny world domination plan.
Just keep making & advertising beer and fuck the overly sensitive reading too far in to things on either side. Without feeding the fire they’ll die off at the next big thing to jump on and your beer will keep selling.

Well it is transformers…
If anything one would think a transformer’s pronouns would be the car make, color, model, year, vin number, and registration.

I don’t like it when my sarcastic observations of absurd American culture become reality. Luckily for me, I’ve never been a Ford customer. I’m no marketing genius, but I don’t see this ad campaign leading to increasing sales of the product.

This is the part i find odd … the target demo isn’t very likely to buy Ford or Bud light because they pander to them or even in spite of the pandering and their base is likely to either be ambivalent at best or feel alienated to the point of switching brands … i doubt the total incremental from the ad campaign will replace the lost base in the short or long term
I really don’t get the strategy here … even if it’s for some commie social credit bullshit i don’t see how it’s a winning strategy in terms of incremental profit or brand equity

I’ve always been a Ford guy, but it’s over. A gay color scheme is the least of their worries. The quality control in the past 10 years has been awful and seems to be getting worse. They’ve been mismanaged to the point brand loyalty is going bye bye and electric cars aren’t going to get it back.
Look at the Bronco and all the issues they’ve had. And don’t give me the pandemic BS as an excuse.

Is that a real commercial? Like REALLY? Not just some funny internet thing?
The majority of gays I know are kinda low key. Not ashamed of who they are, just not blasting it out there like they invented flamboyance.
That thing is like a full throttle unabashed exercise in exagerating a stereotype, akin to the Pussywagon from Kill Bill.

Is the gay truck registered in your name?
Gives “I’m stuck deep in mud” a new meaning for sure.
And even the straight Raptor would have to call a run of the mill Chevy to pull out because it’s all flash and horsepower, no gears for torque.
Honestly Dodge is the only manufacturer standing strong, and 5 years ago that would have been absolutely ludicrous to say. And I’m a Chevy guy.

The outdoor clothing brand has released an advertisement for the brands new ‘Summer of Pride’ campaign which includes rainbow covered clothing for children.
The ad features a Drag Queen encouraging everyone to “Come Out.” pic.twitter.com/X4F0sv2kHm
Well, their stocks are gonna nose dive, just like targets did
These CEOs are dumber than rocks
I thought this was a joke. It makes sense as drag queens are known to love the outdoors and camping and hiking.
