'It's time beer made it up to women': Miller Lite APOLOGIZES for using women in bikinis to sell beer after campaigns featuring Sofia Vergara, Meghan Markle and Pamela Anderson: New ad echoes woke Dylan Mulvaney controversy
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Miller Lite created a campaign for Women's History Month in March to buy up old marketing materials featuring women in bikinis

  • As part of the 'Bad $#!T to Good $#!T' campaign, those materials would be turned into compost, which would be used to make fertilizer to grow hops

  • The hops would then be sent to female brewers

Do they live in an echo chamber?

Literally, yes.

Think industry conference with booze and elevated oxygen levels introducing influencers in superhype fashion to 'discuss' next phase best advertising practices and goals.

#12  The Miller Marketing Chief is a clone of the former BudLight Marketing Director:
"Sofia Colucci, the chief marketing officer of Molson Coors Beverage, which owns Miller Lite, has a past of supporting liberal causes such as gun control, protests for George Floyd, illegal immigration and the COVID-19 vaccine, social media posts reviewed by the Daily Caller found."

But the real crackup is that the spokesperson in the commercial defaming the sexist displays of women has previously made exactly that kind of commercial. YJCMTSU

#13  She sounds horrible but the ad doesn't really bother me. They aren't trashing men, they aren't trashing women, they aren't pushing trans or gay. They are just saying the bikini ads are shit and trying to get more female drinkers. This seems a reasonable position. It wouldn't work as I don't think most women care that much about the bikini ads as the feminists do but it seems far better way to expand market share to what Bud Lite tried.

Are you saying that Coors has gone woke too?

#15  They are just saying the bikini ads are shit and trying to get more female drinkers.

Most of the women I know prefer wine. By and large, the nicer ladies do not appreciate getting bloated and belching.

My only confession is that I prefer whiskey. Beer is good though, if I've been outside getting sweaty.

Stick to the German imports or local craft brewery.

#19  San Diego has more breweries than Bavaria, and consumes more Hops than the rest of the world combined - iirc.

IPA Capital of the World and USA.

#21  Kudos to the real women in bikinis selling beer. Enough of the creepy pseudo woman selling Bud Lite.

#22  There are so many better choices than big company beer and wine. Sutter Home could make a woke commercial as well, but woke people are picky about what they drink. Woke ad strategy for marginal booze is a market looser every time.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Chappelle didn’t go deep into his TERF beliefs Thursday; instead, he settled for a barrage of transphobic dog whistles.

And if you know his routine, its not that he hates trannys. He hates you trannys. And is proof that nobody will survive their purity test.

Kurt Schlichter: Let the Blue Cities Die
[TOWNHALL] The Democrat cities are urine-soaked hellholes that reek of pot where criminals stalk unmolested while the full fury of what is supposed to be the law hangs over the head of any citizen who dares do something about it, and that’s good. The idiots who live there voted for turning their urban landscapes into petri dishes of social pathologies, and they should enjoy the full benefits of their decisions. We normal people should avoid these socialist wastelands and elect politicians to Congress who will starve them of the federal funds that enable their decline. In red states, our politicians should wage warfare on the blue tumors in their midst lest they metastasize outside the city limits. And we should ruthlessly point to them as the future Democrats want, which they are, a vision of a psychotic hobo taking a dump on the sidewalk out in front of your house forever.

Us normal people can’t help the cities and their moron populations because they don’t want to help themselves. We tried compassion. Now let’s try compression. Let’s squeeze them until they pop, like the pimple on America’s rear end that they are.

We used to love going to New York City. It was like Vegas for people who don’t play slots. The excitement, the food, the energy — there was no other place quite like it. And now there is no place like it at all, because the corpse of the Big Apple that we enjoyed visiting was rotting even last year when we swung through on a book tour. The people, at least the normal ones, were missing — it looked empty somehow. But what it lacked in people it made up in dank clouds of weed smoke. The whole place smelled like a dorm at Rasta U. Junkies, bums, derelicts, and other key Democrat demographics loitered on the streets; the cops seemed to have simply checked out. But who can blame them? The Soros DAs, the slack-jawed electorate elected won’t charge anyone anyway unless he’s a political enemy or a normal person trying to protect New Yorkers from one of the myriad freaks the city fetishizes and indulges.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Hamas, undeterred, sat on the sidelines as Islamic Jihad and Israel slugged it out
[IsraelTimes] Though Gazoo’s ruling terror group has shown it can impose its will on other factions, in recent rounds of fighting Israel has not forced it to exercise its illusory sovereignty

For the third time since Operation Black Belt in 2019, Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, sat out a fight between Israel and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
Though it maintained a "Joint Operations Room" with other groups and put out a statement with Islamic Jihad about resistance, the Gazoo

Israel needs a new policy to push Hamas out of its comfort zone
[IsraelTimes] The Gazoo-ruling terror group is enjoying the economic benefits of detente with Israel and building its forces, while allowing Paleostinian Islamic Jihad to keep up the fighting

Amid the hostilities between Israel and Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at the advice of the security establishment, issued a clear directive to ministers: Keep Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", out of your rhetoric.
