    Therefore Busch should fire, not only Dylan, but most of all, their marketing coordinator. For such a miscalculation. But they can't. Because if they fire these folks now, they'll receive a firestorm from the trans community. So how can this not be funny?

    Ok, and today they have no career. They PUBLICLY insulted, a president of the United States, and that killed their careers as music artists or whatever they were.

    So these “chicks”, or whatever, evented (your words cd8ed) cancel culture because they hate the second bush (the bush that sent my fellow Americans into a completely unnecessary war that, by design, was only to enrich another worthless pos politician (cheney).

    And this is your “evidence” that republicans didn’t “INVENT” cancel culture?

    Good grief man: at least take a moment to read some of my past posts that say CLEARLY: I hate all politicians!

    I could care less about your ridiculous fight over what side is better.

    To easily sum it up for you: the democrat party is obviously bought and paid for, good luck expecting anything good for the taxpayers from these corrupt, bought and paid for POLITICIANS.

    The republicans: weakest party ever with most drooling over a chance to part of the opposite party.

    Summery: neither party cares for the good of the taxpaying citizens of this country. They care about being re-elected only.

    Good luck backing either party. Times have dramatically changed, and not for the good.

    Then why did you make the statement that “Conservatives didn’t originate cancel culture” if you have nothing to back up that statement?

    You basically just said both parties suck and you don’t care who started it after defending one of said parties.

    Which is it?

    THEY TRY DESPERATELY TO CONTROL THE NATIONAL CONVERSATION THROUGH CENSORSHIP

    AMC abruptly cancels film documenting journey of detransitioners after backlash.

    '“No Way Back: The Reality of Gender-Affirming Care” shares the stories of five young detransitioners and insight from a dozen medical experts on the “harm” being posed by health care providers pushing transitions.'

    'Producers of the film claim AMC shelved screenings scheduled to begin June 21 after intense pressure from a group called the Queer Trans Project, which did not have access to view the full documentary.'

    Streisand effect - Wikipedia
    'The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove, or censor information, where the effort instead leads to increased awareness of that information. It is named after American singer and actress Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress the California Coastal Records Project 's photograph of her cliff-top residence ...'

    Still don’t care. Most of their donations go to republicans and they were only using this idiot for marketing, they have shown their value is money only.

    I hope your boycott is successful

    Would you want your kid to hook up with Mulvaney? Put aside the usual deflections of bullying, phobias, racisim and what not. If you were in a remote area of the world where no one could judge you and a flamboyant tranny was hitting on your kid, what would you do?,

    No — I don’t like those type of people generally. The extremely flamboyant exaggerated types.

    I still believe they should have equal treatment and realize most trans people are not like that.

    You were claiming that it was a great advertising campaign. But since it has resulted in a loss of twenty billion in market cap, are you still of the opinion that it was effective advertising?

    Oh it was 100% effective in showing what kind of company they are. They tried to quietly promote a trans influencer to their followers, faced a bigot backlash, immediately reversed course and has completely ignored the individual they hired, that individual is now facing daily threats.

    They are a **** company that has bowed down to **** people. So yes, their marketing was very effective.

    Market Cap is down $20B, now, seems like a story.

    The Hurt Won't Stop—Bud Light Fiasco Causes Bottling Plants to Cut Production, Lay off 645 Workers.

    'The hits keep coming for Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch after their disastrous marketing partnership with transgender TikTok personality Dylan Mulvaney. Sales of the beer fell off a cliff, A-B has lost billions in market value, and Modelo has taken over as the number one brew in ‘Merica.'

    'Both plants were forced to put some of their machines offline amid the decreased demand, which was “of course, being pointed towards the Bud Light situation,” James Munhall, a journeyman machine repair mechanic, told WRAL.'

    'By May 18, an internal memo obtained by the news station, company executives said they would shut down the two plants “due to slow sales with Anheuser-InBev,” the parent company of Budweiser and Bud Light.'

    'Longtime employees explained that the majority of their business was making bottles for Budweiser and Bud Light.'

    But using Dylan to mock women and insulting their loyal customers was a 'smart' move, right?

    Ooooops! I hope they are practicing "affirmative action" and laying off a firm quota of LGBTLMNOP people. :arrow: It wouldn't be fair otherwise.

    at the end of the day, NONE of this is Dylan Mulvanney's fault. This is all on bud light's stupid marketing employees.

    Can't deny that. Mulvaney is just another Greta Thunberg with a more colourful dress. Both of them have been pushed into the limelight by others wanting to make money and trying to further their careers.

    It's down $20B. You might want to load up.

    Wall Street Analyst: Bud Light's Loss of 15-20% of Its Sales is Permanent.

    Bud Light sales hit a fresh new low last week:

    'Data from Bump Williams Consulting and NielsenIQ show that sales for Bud Light are down 28.5 percent year-over-year for the week ending June 17, according to the New York Post. That's a decline of about 2 percentage points from the week ending June 10, when sales dropped 26.8 percent, Bump Williams's data show.
    Anheuser-Busch's other brands, including Budweiser and Michelob Ultra, have also suffered year-over-year losses. Budweiser's sales are down 12.3 percent, Busch Light is down 8.1 percent, and Michelob Ultra is down 4 percent, according to Bump Williams and Nielsen IQ.'

    'At the same time, competitors like Yuengling Lager went up 25.1 percent, the data show. Coors Light saw a 21.8 percent increase, and Miller Lite went up 16 percent.'

    'Bump Williams, chief of the eponymous consulting company, told the New York Post on June 21, "This was a tough week for Bud Light and other beer brands" that are owned by Anheuser-Busch, including Budweiser. Sales of Budweiser were down by 10 percent, Natural Light was down by 2.3 percent, and Michelob Ultra was down by 2.4 percent.'

    You're quite the sage.

    'Bud Light claims that "misinformation" is the reason for their decline, but video shows them proudly supporting the Toronto Shame March, where pedophile-adjacent naked men paraded their penises in front of children.'

    'Has Bud Light lost the taint of its old "fratty" humor yet, Alissa?'

    'The forecasts call for the current losses to be permanent. They've lost 15-20% of their sales volume permanently.'

    'Deutsche Bank sees some of Bud Light's declines as a "permanent reduction" in AbInBev's US business. Evercore ISI analyst Robert Ottenstein agrees.'

    "Bud Light will permanently lose about 15-20% of its volume.'

    Meanwhile, "dozens" of Starbucks locations were picketed by leftwing gay extremists who need constant validation by everyone at all moments of the day.

    Let us dwell on that for a few moments. What sort of "information" did former Bud Light drinkers "mis"? It seems to me it was And How's Your Bush that was "misinformed" about the population's druthers. Worse yet is that they doubled down on their mistake rather than correct it so they've missed a golden opportunity to claim that they stand corrected "But Wiser".

    Actually, it's down $20B, now.

    The Bud Light fiasco fall-out continues with worker layoffs, free beer promotions

    [​IMG]

    'More than 600 people are losing their jobs because of the marketing controversy that exposed the fact that the company didn’t know its customers. More than three months later, the story not only continues, it is growing.'

    AND, IT SEEMS THAT THEY DIDN'T REALLY LIKE THEIR FORMER CUSTOMERS.

    WHEN YOU CAN'T MOVE STOCK, YOU DON'T NEED AS MANY BOTTLES.

    One consequence of insulting your customers is that 'now the demand for the product is down. That means that the glass bottling company that contracts with Bud Light is closing two plants this month and more than 600 employees will lose their jobs. The Ardagh Group, a global glass producer, announced it will be closing their plants in North Carolina and Louisiana this month. The fall-out of the controversy is being felt by retailers, distributors, bars, and contracted companies.'

    Not at all, ehh?

    They are down $20B in market cap.

    'sales for Bud Light was down 28.5 percent year over year for the week ended June 17. Other Anheuser-Busch brands, including Michelob Ultra and Budweiser, have also seen year-over-year losses.'

    'In a recent note, Deutsche Bank analyst Mitch Collett said that the recent underperformance of Anheuser-Busch implies a “permanent reduction” in the company’s business in the United States, according to Barron’s.'

    “Our proprietary survey data suggest these headwinds are likely to fade even if we do not expect the U.S. business ever to fully recover from its current challenges.”

    'Bud Light has also lost the number-one position in the U.S. beer market following the marketing debacle.'

    'Meanwhile, Luxembourg-based Ardagh Group, a major contractor for Bud Light, is shutting down two of its glass-bottling plants in Louisiana and North Carolina amid declining sales for the beer.'

    They might be a little concerned.

    Now they are down $22B in market cap.

    GET WOKE…
    GO BROKE!

    Not Just Bud Light: Anheuser-Busch’s Other Beer Brands See Sales Crash.

    'Sales of Michelob Ultra fell by 4.3 percent in the week that ended July 1 compared with last year, and Busch Light was down 8.5 percent, the New York Post reported. Both brands are, like Bud Light, owned by the Anheuser-Busch brewing company.'

    '“Budweiser trends have been slipping for a very long time, but it’s the Michelob Ultra negative numbers and now Busch Light negative trends that are most alarming to me,” Bump Williams, whose consulting firm ran the numbers from NielsenIQ data, told the Post. “They were very healthy prior to April 1.”'

    EVEN GIVING IT AWAY FOR FREE DIDN'T BOOST SALES.

    'Sales of Bud Light the week prior, ending on June 24, were 27.9 percent lower than during the same period last year. The brand’s troubling numbers came despite Bud Light giving out rebates for free beer ahead of Independence Day weekend.'
