I don't know about that. It's getting a lot of people talking about Budweiser. Hire a tranny, get guys to freely advertise your brand over the outrage. I think it's smart and we're the dumb ones for talking about it and making it a success.

I get your point on any publicity is good publicity but this one's different imo. There whole demographic of beer drinkers are losing it over this. I went thru the tweets the other day about kid rocks post and it was an endless stream of disgust and genuinely offended customers.

It'll be interesting to see how this goes for them.

I still drank Budweiser today. I don't think they care about people over 25, they'll purposely alienate their older consumers because their buying habits are set pretty much. Advertising just gets you to try something, if you don't like it, you stop consuming it. They already did that with their older customers amd and they like Budweiser or they don't. Only a small % of drinkers are probably going to leave the brand for this and it's a gambit to secure the interest of the younger generations.
