Bud Light has been branded 'desperate' after releasing a new advert showing men aggressively 'grunting' The embattled beer giant released a new 15-second spot on Sunday showing Kelce cracking open Bud Light cans and aggressively grunting with several other men. The advert was a clear marketing U-turn after backlash to the company's previous collaboration with trans star Dylan Mulvaney devastated the brand financially. However, the effort has failed to gain traction after it was posted to YouTube, picking up just 2,500 viewers in over 24 hours following its release. The new advert, titled 'Backyard Grunts with Travis Kelce'

On display in my basement bar is an unopened bottle of Budweiser America. It was marketed back around 2000 when they understood their customers. Now the .2% of the population that celebrates perversity can display their Dylan cans, while business schools can teach how to completely destroy a good company.

Keep right on digging, Anheuser Busch! Elemental men grunting while swilling beer flavored water, tranny brew. Yeah, that's the ticket. Do something that you think is forcefully masculine while endorsing the least masculine brewery product. Unh unh! Nothing short of a groveling appy-polly-loggy for the Mulvaney campaign will suffice, and unless I'm very wrong, AB don't have the class to do that. Let's go Brendan.

A-B continues to look for a one size fits all solution. Their loyal customers are angry off at them, the trans community is angry off at them, and the investment community requires them to embrace the ESG score concept. Such a solution does not exist. They have to choose and live with it.

“For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse than not hiring a trans person at all.” Dylan Mulvaney, Bud Light Spokes____ Throwing money ($15 to $25 million is my guest) at an already rich NFL player won’t bring back boycotting beer drinkers. AB has shot itself in both feet for reasons that neither they nor anyone with common sense can explain. Only benefit from this disaster is that it might keep 100 to 150 of the Fortune 500 companies from imitating AB, Target, Molson Coors, Coca Cola and other large corporations which are run by Democrats.

Imagine fancying yourself smart enough to run a major beer brand but not understanding how much competition there is to produce watery beer. The arrogance is staggering.

We've reached the point in Bud marketing of " Throw it all against the wall and PRAY something sticks" Sorry Bud, your grunting guys DON"T LIKE TRANNIES. Take the hit and find somebody else who'll buy your beer.

I don't see how this can be remedied for Bud. The name and brand are destroyed. I don't even think a new name for the beer with new packaging would work. This has to be affecting the entire Bud brand. Buying Budweiser now seems almost like an un-American act.

Amazing. I am not defending either side, but, reading so many posts here and on other sites indicates too many people don't know the facts of this debacle and are spouting opinions and denigrating people for their personal tastes. It is little wonder there is so much division in the country Happy Birthday USA

FTA: "For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse than not hiring a trans person at all." Well, actually they would be much better off if they did not hire the trans person in the first place. Terrible logic from Mulvaney.

As expected. After insulting its entire Bud Light customers with celebrations of Trannies, now Bud Light makes fun of the ad worlds' boogey man, the white male. Can advertisers get away form make white males look like bungling morons for just one ad? Oh, they did throw in a quota to satisfy the ad world's quota inclusion criteria. Of course he is the 'hero' smart enough to open the Bud Light.

Dos Equis sold their beer to the most interesting men in the world: "HIS BLOOD SMELLS LIKE COLOGNE. HIS HANDS FEEL LIKE RICH, BROWN SUEDE. THE POLICE OFTEN QUESTION HIM, JUST BECAUSE THEY FIND HIM INTERESTING. HE IS….THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD! " Budweiser first tried selling to ladyboys while alienating their primary customers and now to grunting Neanderthals, with apologies to Neanderthals. They will be a whole chapter in marketing textbooks under "how not to."

Furious ice cream fans are promising to boycott the iconic Ben & Jerry's brand, accusing the company of 'going woke' following a July 4th tweet in which it said that it was 'committed' to returning 'stolen' lands to indigenous peoples. The brand, which was founded by longtime Bernie Sanders allies Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenwood but has since been sold to British multinational Unilever, tweeted the message to its 494,000 followers. 'This 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it,' the company's official account wrote before suggesting Mount Rushmore should be handed back to its original owners.

Cocaine was found on premises at the White House Sunday evening and the Secret Service is investigating the incident that caused an evacuation of the premises. A dispatch call reviewed by DailyMail.com reveals the substance was found in the White House library – and a preliminary test found that the white powder tested positive for cocaine. The discovery came two days after Joe Biden's son Hunter, 52, visited the White House on Friday, which has perked the ears of conservatives who are speculating that the president's addict son is the source of the illegal substance.

Depending on your point of view, the Supreme Court’s Friday decision in 303 Creative v. Elenis was either a great moment in American jurisprudence or a day that will live in infamy. There are accusations floating around the MSM that a piece of evidence referenced by each side was falsified. Alongside that story, there are whispers of attorneys being disbarred over the matter. That didn’t take long, did it? But even before that, leftists were quick to stand up in outrage and state that the ruling gave them the right to refuse service to conservatives, notably Trump supporters.

Last week, Michelle Obama, the politician, issued a formal position statement on Twitter regarding the Supreme Court decision to eliminate affirmative action in higher education. In doing so, Michelle not only revealed her political ambition, which I believe includes the Democratic nomination for president in 2024, but also the likelihood that she herself was an affirmative action student at Princeton University in 1981.

Kimbrady Carriker, 40, shot dead four men and a 15-year-old boy in the Kingsessing neighborhood on the eve of the Fourth of July. He is now in custody and facing multiple murder charges after rampaging through the streets with an AR-15, a handgun and wearing a ballistic vest. The killer has now been revealed to be a computer nerd who was obsessed by firearms - even posting video a few days ago of children at a gun range. Facebook posts from March 2022

When we first heard the story of a hazmat situation and the White House being evacuated on Sunday, we were told by the media that they’d found cocaine hydrochloride “near the White House.” Then it was described as being on the White House complex. That could be anywhere, including on the grounds. It was also described as “cocaine hydrochloride,” with suggestions it could be an anesthetic. Then came the report that it was in the White House library, which is on the ground floor of the executive mansion, according to the Washington Post. But now the Secret Service is contradicting that report about the library. Newsmax reporter James Rosen

An Obama-appointed federal judge on Monday issued a preliminary injunction against Florida’s election law that imposed limitations on third-party voter registration organizations. In May Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed SB 7020, a law that barred non-citizens from handling or collecting voter registration forms. One of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit is an immigrant from El Salvador who works for “Mi Vecino,” a third party voter registration organization. US District Judge Mark Walker said the election law banning non-citizens from handling voter registration forms is unconstitutional.
