#2 I guess this is like sending an email that you regret immediately afterwards but it is already gone like a harpoon missile that cannot be stopped. Hopefully, beer drinkers are willing to punish this baloney as well.

#11 Local watering hole just installed a tap which is neither of these companies.

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.

#17 Fortunately, San Diego is home to some excellent craft breweries.

#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.

#20 I haven't had Miller or Bush in very many years. Even in east Tennessee there are great local breweries.

#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.

#23 Jeff Goldstein has an article up today that shows the snippy feminist bint going topless for some political stunt.

So, she's a hypocrite. Whutasurprise!

#27 Oh, and if the picture of her next to Hillary! is accurate, this gal is like 4'10", explaining her bitterness towards women.

If there is still any doubt, look at the name of the campaign; classic Killjoy use of language.

#28 Yeah. As every urbane ecologist who's ever taken an iPhone selfie while cranking the absurdly expensive recycled plastic compost barrel on the balcony of their air-conditioned apartment knows, nothing makes better compost than "old marketing materials."

To compost misogynist meanies,
The worst they could find
In this world going blind
