Interesting how much more a smiling grandmotherly character speaks more about breakfast food to me than a dull milling company. That in no way uses a water wheel to power anything in their industrial manufacturing facilities. yawn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I liked the old Morton Salt girl better than the new one. I definitely liked the older Radio Shack logo better. But I guess none of that bothered me as much as this bothered you. In fact I can't think of anything a brand could do to a logo that would really bother me that much. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's blaming the victim - the campaign didn't fuck anything up, it's the white men who chose to boycott the brand then blamed it on the campaign who caused the losses. Brent loves doing that - "democrats opposed this thing, it's their fault the GOP then did this!!" I.e. the boycott is the direct cause of the financial losses and not the campaign. Sure, they did the boycott because of the campaign, but that's another discussion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just felt the new logo was uninspiring. Then again, logos and boxes don't convince to buy one brand over another. Quality does that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not BUD LIGHT, but they did piss away a bit more than $30,000,000,000.00 DOLLARS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are dozens of corrupt old men who have lost billions. Woke Pandering backfired Twice with Bud light. They pandered to the WOKE by hiring this idiot and then they tried to pander to the WOKE community by supporting a cross dressing male (Who just told his parents he likes females) who basically violates the general consensus of their Brands consumers. A total LOSE LOSE situation. The idiot has been fired. What does that tell you? That you are out of a job? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,538 #289 August 9, 2023 The most embarrassing part of this is: If you are ranting about Bud Light's advertising, then you are telling the world that you drink Bud Light. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep. And that you never even saw the can - just saw someone else posting about it. And that you were so conflicted about your sexuality that a trans person really got to you. Meanwhile, conservatives are crushed that the ultra-woke Barbie movie is breaking box office records, and Sound of Freedom not only came in a very distant 19th - but it turns out it was financed by a child kidnapper. They're going to need to cancel something big to give their egos a boost after this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, defunding the police isn't cancelling, that's very different. By the way, if you defund the IRS you'll have to defund everything else too. It's odd that conservatives are so in favour of defunding the military. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
