Bud Light disables comments on 'countrified' YouTube ad in wake of Dylan Mulvaney fiasco
[NYPOST] Bud Light posted a "countrified’ YouTube ad that showed young beer drinkers frolicking in the rain at a country music festival — but has disabled user comments amid continued backlash over its sponsorship deal with Dylan Stench of DeathMulvaney  ...the transexual influencerwho single-handedly trashed a major American beer brand owned by a Belgian company, tainted Maybelline, and then demanded that anybody who called him/her/it a man be arrested... The 30-second ad — which kicks off a major advertising blitz by the beer giant in the wake of its ill-fated tie-up with the 26-year-old transgender influencer — first aired during prime time coverage of the NFL Draft last week on Disney-owned ABC and ESPN. The spot shows four people — a man and three women apparently in their early-to-mid 20s — popping open a can of Bud Light as they rush to get out of the rain. While the actors scurry for cover though what looks like a mountainous outdoor venue in the Western US, a song by the Zac Brown Band is heard playing in the background. "Rain or shine, it’s always easy to enjoy a Bud Light," the company said in the caption of the YouTube clip. As of Monday, the clip generated more than 26 million views, but just 272 likes. Notably, the comments section under the YouTube clip was turned off. Meanwhile, ...back at the hanging, Butch continued with his last words, trying not to repeat himself too often...... Bud Light continued to face heat on Twitter for the deal with Mulvaney, a transgender influencer with 10 million followers on social media. "A commercial that shows cowboys & cowgirls at a rodeo where it’s started to pour down rain while the Zac Brown Band plays ’Chicken Fried’ is Bud Light’s latest commercial. Real smart, piss off that demographic, then cynically try to lure them back with this. Don’t fall for it," one Twitter user wrote.
