Bud Light waded out into what they have since discovered was the Perfect Storm. Never in the history of retail marketing has such a tidal wave of pent up customer anger and frustration been focused on a single brand or product. And never before have those angry customers been able to sit back and enjoy watching the continued destruction that is the direct result of their wrath. There will be entire business classes devoted to this event, teaching marketing students how best to avoid repeating it themselves.

The problem has always been they wanted to be given a special status. Gifted with uniqueness, they wanted an exception for their lifestyle. An exception from religion, in law, in culture, in society just so that they could say that their lifestyle deserves acceptance because people won't accept them. It then became celebrating their exclusiveness and making others accept them to be inclusive...provided that people accept them or else they would threaten them socially or legally. Now, they are trying to desperately say that their lifestyle is not only deserving of an exception but it's also so commonplace that its a majority when it's only a small segment of a minority - an exclusive minority with legal exceptions - to the point that everyone has to tolerate their special status as anything else is a social ill. The thing about tolerance, universally, is people do not tolerate individuals who are seen to be given an exception without just cause when they are in turn punished for being who they are.

For nearly a decade now, companies were told to appeal to the left-wing wokesters on Twitter. That was made easier when it was simply them being "anti-Trump" and appealing to that crowd. However, once Trump left and Musk bought Twitter, the ordinary folks realized they had more power than they thought. I guarantee this boycott wouldn't have been as successful pre-Musk Twitter, mainly because the wokeys at Twitter would have banned the accounts from talking about it! Unfortunately for these companies, they just got slapped upside the head with the reality that the right-wing and even apolitical folks spend money too and pissing them off can cost far more than not pandering to the whiners on Twitter with no money! (Remember, if they had any money, they could pay off their student loans!) No, we aren't asking for conservative businesses; we are asking ALL business to stay out of politics!

My personal prediction is that AB does an attempt at a complete rebrand of the BL brand in the fall, but their other beers only take a minor hit. The hardest part of this boycott is that AB owns so many brands that people think they are boycotting but still buying from them. As of right now, the boycott is doing far better than any expert would have predicted, which makes any claims those same folks make that BL will bounce back immediately suspect.

I talked to my neighborhood bar's manager and asked him about Budweiser and AB sales in the bar. They've cratered. They are going through maybe a quarter of the stuff on tap as they used to. The distributor is going to have to buy back the unsold beer. I think that also applies to retail sales (6 packs and cases). So the distributors are going to have to take a loss on that beer as well. People also aren't buying AB at sponsored events. If you run a stadium, arena, or any sort of large venue where beer is sold, those beer sales represent a lot of profit. So there's going to come a reckoning between how many taps and how much cooler space is going to the sponsor's product when it's just going to sit. People will drink Bud if that's all that's available or all that's left... usually. But that's changed. Perhaps this is a wake-up call to Wall Street to get out of cultural issues and identities as branding and marketing. I don't want to identify with my beer's thoughts and views. I want to drink it... possibly to excess. Can we just get back to a consumer economy?

Bud Light only got the backlash that it did was mainly women complaining about it. If it was just men complaining about seeing a freak show on their cans or TV screens, not much would have been done but insult a woman or "take away" a woman's potential job (yet no one cares when women take over men's jobs with less merit or have women only jobs but no such equivalent exists for men) and it's game over. We see this played out with the Brawny advert where the lumberjack was replaced by a strong wahmen while stating "strength has no gender." We also saw this play out with the Angel Soft attempt at taking away Father's Day and giving it to women/ single mothers. Then we have the whole Amy Schumer and Seth Rogan "Wage Gap" advert from Bud Light which didn't get all that much backlash and Bud Light only went this route after WOMEN complained about being objectified or humiliated in older adverts that they were pressured to change their ways.

You might notice AB is using a form of bait-n-switch; the 'discount' is in the form of a "rebate" direct from AB. That is, you have to pay the higher price in the store, and then hope you *ever* get that rebate from AB. And, of course, most people never bother with redeeming the "rebate" anyway - they just forget, or they lose the receipt, anything. AB is being just as cynical as before, hoping they could "grow the brand" with no downside. When they start giving retailers refunds on returns of unsold beer, rather than just a swap - *then* they'll be serious.

The Deeper Reason is that corporations hire people who are familiar with social media and social media interactions. These people skew much younger, and are more impressionable, more informed by the culture of academia or the social darwinistic creches of amplified subcultural social media groups. This makes them willing vectors for the most virulent memetic transmission points, high in contagion, low in white-cell memetic inoculation. Ergo these infected brand ambassadors will espouse untested memetic idioms counter to the prevailing institution of Capatlism and Corporation.

Bud Light waded out into what they have since discovered was the Perfect Storm. Never in the history of retail marketing has such a tidal wave of pent up customer anger and frustration been focused on a single brand or product. And never before have those angry customers been able to sit back and enjoy watching the continued destruction that is the direct result of their wrath. There will be entire business classes devoted to this event, teaching marketing students how best to avoid repeating it themselves.
We went from, 'they just want to be married,' to, 'they just want to take over the entire culture,' pretty quickly. It's almost like a sort of psychotic narcissism or something. Or something.

The problem has always been they wanted to be given a special status. Gifted with uniqueness, they wanted an exception for their lifestyle. An exception from religion, in law, in culture, in society just so that they could say that their lifestyle deserves acceptance because people won't accept them. It then became celebrating their exclusiveness and making others accept them to be inclusive...provided that people accept them or else they would threaten them socially or legally. Now, they are trying to desperately say that their lifestyle is not only deserving of an exception but it's also so commonplace that its a majority when it's only a small segment of a minority - an exclusive minority with legal exceptions - to the point that everyone has to tolerate their special status as anything else is a social ill. The thing about tolerance, universally, is people do not tolerate individuals who are seen to be given an exception without just cause when they are in turn punished for being who they are.

Corporations, egged on media and social elites, have been kicking sand in the face of the consumer for years, sneering at their customers, whom they consider to be dim witted, weak willed and in desperate need of re-education. The reaction to Bud Light's rebranding was the bursting of the dam. Target might soon learn that people are tired of their hateful attitude. We can only hope.
The Miller commercial is the best, on the surface it's an apology for exploiting women, but if you go back and watch the video they've blurred all the women's faces, but kept the their hot bodies.

For nearly a decade now, companies were told to appeal to the left-wing wokesters on Twitter. That was made easier when it was simply them being "anti-Trump" and appealing to that crowd. However, once Trump left and Musk bought Twitter, the ordinary folks realized they had more power than they thought. I guarantee this boycott wouldn't have been as successful pre-Musk Twitter, mainly because the wokeys at Twitter would have banned the accounts from talking about it! Unfortunately for these companies, they just got slapped upside the head with the reality that the right-wing and even apolitical folks spend money too and pissing them off can cost far more than not pandering to the whiners on Twitter with no money! (Remember, if they had any money, they could pay off their student loans!) No, we aren't asking for conservative businesses; we are asking ALL business to stay out of politics!

My personal prediction is that AB does an attempt at a complete rebrand of the BL brand in the fall, but their other beers only take a minor hit. The hardest part of this boycott is that AB owns so many brands that people think they are boycotting but still buying from them. As of right now, the boycott is doing far better than any expert would have predicted, which makes any claims those same folks make that BL will bounce back immediately suspect.

If it's a product like beer, where you have a million options, you can easily choose a different product and you will feel better then. Like you said: "beer for humans". Customers actually want to be recognized as human beings and nobody buys beer in order to feel bad or guilty.

Honestly restaurants should probably do a deal with the liquor stores to take near expiring bud light off their hands for $1 a beer or less. It might as well be used for batter, stews as a cooking ingredient because nobody is going to drink it.
I talked to my neighborhood bar's manager and asked him about Budweiser and AB sales in the bar. They've cratered. They are going through maybe a quarter of the stuff on tap as they used to. The distributor is going to have to buy back the unsold beer. I think that also applies to retail sales (6 packs and cases). So the distributors are going to have to take a loss on that beer as well. People also aren't buying AB at sponsored events. If you run a stadium, arena, or any sort of large venue where beer is sold, those beer sales represent a lot of profit. So there's going to come a reckoning between how many taps and how much cooler space is going to the sponsor's product when it's just going to sit. People will drink Bud if that's all that's available or all that's left... usually. But that's changed. Perhaps this is a wake-up call to Wall Street to get out of cultural issues and identities as branding and marketing. I don't want to identify with my beer's thoughts and views. I want to drink it... possibly to excess. Can we just get back to a consumer economy?
The question that needs to be asked is: How are all these companies still able to trade? Perhaps that they're propped up by companies like BlackRock & Vanguard? And people need to look into ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance). It's basically a credit score for that corporations adhere to. If these corporations want to keep up with their ability to access money, they've gotta push whatever nonsense that BlackRock & Vanguard want pushed. And what I would like to know, why is it that this issue has never (or hardly) been brought up by channels such as WCBS, Geeks & Gamers, Nerdrotic....etc?

Bud Light only got the backlash that it did was mainly women complaining about it. If it was just men complaining about seeing a freak show on their cans or TV screens, not much would have been done but insult a woman or "take away" a woman's potential job (yet no one cares when women take over men's jobs with less merit or have women only jobs but no such equivalent exists for men) and it's game over. We see this played out with the Brawny advert where the lumberjack was replaced by a strong wahmen while stating "strength has no gender." We also saw this play out with the Angel Soft attempt at taking away Father's Day and giving it to women/ single mothers. Then we have the whole Amy Schumer and Seth Rogan "Wage Gap" advert from Bud Light which didn't get all that much backlash and Bud Light only went this route after WOMEN complained about being objectified or humiliated in older adverts that they were pressured to change their ways.
The issue with bud and target is that their customer base is talking but nobody listening. Those ESG scores are more important. So be it.
I think blackrock is planning a hostile take over of popular companies.

Bud Light isn't beer. My mom, who was a very wise lady, often described Bud Light as, "Horse piss with the fuzz farted off." That means, if you're selling horse piss and trying to pass it off as a beverage, you need to stick with whatever actually drives sales.
Great outro!
So, can we send in footage/pics of our local stores full of Bud Light? Would be interesting to see the various areas of our nation respondind to the controversy.
You might notice AB is using a form of bait-n-switch; the 'discount' is in the form of a "rebate" direct from AB. That is, you have to pay the higher price in the store, and then hope you *ever* get that rebate from AB. And, of course, most people never bother with redeeming the "rebate" anyway - they just forget, or they lose the receipt, anything. AB is being just as cynical as before, hoping they could "grow the brand" with no downside. When they start giving retailers refunds on returns of unsold beer, rather than just a swap - *then* they'll be serious.
The Budcott continues.

If I actually drank beer, this would be a glorious time. But given I can't stand even good beer, I can only shake my head and laugh.
I have a suggestion on why companies are willing to lead by their politics .. it's bcause the rich and the corporations own the systems and have nothing to lose. We should all heed the words of George Carlin who said the rich and powerful got the systems and in turn Got You By The Balls ! They Own You !!! You need to know that revolution is your ony way to stop being enslaved .. best get armed and get ready !
I don't know why Bud Light and Target were the straws that broke the camel's back, but I'm grateful and relieved it's finally happening. I thought the pandemic and the political push into sports would make "normies" finally snap, but better late than never.
I fukin love that rational people are finally biting back against the woke mind virus.
May i suggest Yuengling beer. Oldest operating american brewery, PRIVATELY FAMILY Owned business. Not public investment
"Boycott target cause they are targeted our kids."-Forgiato Blow
Might be worth checking if some was short selling stocks before this?
Awesome!
They can give it to shelters and food banks so those on hard times can not drink it
keeps locking after 3 mins by going into permanent loading icon
Maybe go to Target to see what their Bud Lite display looks like? 😁
The real crime is knowing these manufactures price it at $22, mark it on sale for $7, and are STILL making money at that $7. The other $14 is PURE PROFIT.
What is the last song? Who made it???

Price is now US$130.98
Shut down the woke businesses! We are on the front line of the culture wars!!! No retreat, no surrender! Boycott TRANSheiser-Busch and Touché-Target!
Let’s not forget their Canada adventure that ended terribly
KZread WOULD NOT let me watch this vid on my xbox one, I got about half-way through and now I'm finishing it on my phone. I have no idea wtf the deal with that is.
Let it burn.
But you can't boycott Target! They have that Lando figure you want.
270 bucks for that cheaply made grill?!
So even the alcoholics aren’t touching BL? That’s solidarity.
damn...if it goes a bit lower I'm going all in
Target is learning that following the rainbow doesn't end in a pot of gold! The retailer should've stuck with the stars and stripes of the old red, white and blue. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

no blue in the logo, though
Think people arent only buying, you dont want to be seen drinking it.
NOT SEVERE ENOUGH! T
If it was 7 bucks here I would buy it 😂
You forgot to show us the star wars section 😉
The Deeper Reason is that corporations hire people who are familiar with social media and social media interactions. These people skew much younger, and are more impressionable, more informed by the culture of academia or the social darwinistic creches of amplified subcultural social media groups. This makes them willing vectors for the most virulent memetic transmission points, high in contagion, low in white-cell memetic inoculation. Ergo these infected brand ambassadors will espouse untested memetic idioms counter to the prevailing institution of Capatlism and Corporation.
I just got a Joe Biden ad! LOL
I'll shed zero tears if Bud Light goes kaput, because I don't drink pisswater.
That's sone world class spammage!
