Feel like everyone should stop the boycott. To the people who didn't like the message, hey, Budlight caved in and you won. To the people who didn't like Budlight caving, hey, at least the company went to the bat for your cause. Like, I don't understand why anyone is boycotting the product at this point. --- Copyright free literature available at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page... otherwise known as Tex-Mex ...

I mean, its a marketing blunder sort of on the same plane as the Dixie Chicks saying they were ashamed to be from the same state as Dubya and that they didnt support the war in Iraq.

Pretty hilarious they ruined themselves alienating their core base AND lost goodwill for disengenuously ditching their LGBTQ prop accessory shortly after the fact; leaving them with neither customer demographic.

Iamdepressed posted... They should have tripled down and went all in.They were in a lose lose situation. They blundered by doing something that anyone could have told them would piss off basically the only demographic that buys their brand. At that point, yeah, they should have doubled down, because there was no getting those people back and AB probably got increased sales overall as the aforementioned demographic just switched to other brands they own. But I dont think they were ever going to really get enough people with better taste in beer but who support the pivot to buy Bud Light to make up for what they lost. --- Console war in a nutshell: http://imgur.com/xA6GJZ9.png ...

He isn't saying that we should be putting rainbows over those things because it would cause them to fail. He's saying that we should put rainbows on them to ruin all of the so called conservative things as a spiteful venture. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?
