#12  even if they got gay'd up.

Those are big animals.
My bet is they have already been cut.

#11  Prepping for the unintended consequences attending their upcoming support for Zoophilia and Bestiality "rights"?

#9  I've see Budweiser Clydesdales up close and personal. One time they were kept in the pasture where I kept my horses. They were yuuuge. Very docile, too.

#8  It's not the horses at risk, it's the horses' asses.

#7  The Qwerty counter-meme is weak, and I'm sure Coors Light would just assume stay out of it (one circulating is CL with a bunch of redneck boogery going on). Another is the old jeans "where did it hurt you" that was popular back when Marvel movies were watchable.

And that's just it. It isn't hurt or embarrassment - it is ridicule. Its the stupidity of predictability. It wounds their corporate focus group laziness with monotonous laughter.

Along these lines, I'd like to know how some aging rock star who hasn't been a thing since Pearl Jam and season 1 of Friends going on tour with fake shop-teacher tits is serious messaging.

In fact, this is all quite literally the plot of ridicule in South Park's 'Funnybot'. Awkward!

#6  Safety concerns my ass. Its not wanting the iconic image shown being met with ridicule and disapproval over the stupid marketing decision about BudLight. The horses aren't at risk, but imagery of the whole Budweiser display being met with negative reaction that will never be erased.

#5  Marketing decision on a par with the "New Coke" rollout.

#4  Me as Marketing Director:

"What would be zo hip, zo now, would be a re-imagining of the Budweiser Clydesdales as My Little Ponies! It would be soooo super cute."

........"Fetch the Draw and Quarter gear. Call billing, I have a Pay-Per-View extravaganza idea."

#3  Such bullshit. We would never do anything to hurt the horses. This is an attempt to gaslight the left and separate those that dont approve of what The European owners of Budweiser are doing. We might, however offer the horse team rainbow unicorn headsets for their horses...

#2  Oh Bullshit.

Nobody is going to mess with the horses, even if they got gay'd up.

What happened I'd bet, is that they were going to gay them up, and somebody noticed the music's tempo even with a tin ear.

#1  Yes. The problem isn't that Anheuser-Busch has lost its once legendary marketing prowess and made one of the stupidest marketing decisions in history. The problem is all you hateful transphobe bigots out there are making us scared.
