#2 It’s not clear whether Captiv8’s shakeup, which happened Sept. 28, was a direct result of the Mulvaney fiasco, which led to Bud Light losing its two-decade status as the nation’s top-selling beer.

...Sure as shiat didn't do it any good now, did it?

#4 /\ Certainly did not. Appears they essentially took a woodland dump and fell back in it.

#5 Question is, did any of the morons involved in the Bud debacle actually get canned, or is this just more "times are tough, we lost business cause we're stupid" stuff?

#6 After the Bud Light fiasco, you do have to wonder what business in its right mind would hire Captiv8 to do its marketing.

#8 I'll go with 'Free trip to the Riviera, acted like A-List fools, got fired'

"I’m guessing that Dylan Mulvaney contributed," one laid-off executive told The Post. "They weren’t laying people off before [April 1] ."

Bud Light parent Anheuser-Busch blamed a third-party marketer for sending the transgender influencer a can of of Bud Light featuring an image of Mulvaney, which she touted to her millions of social media followers on April 1.

As has been said, there are a thousand ad companies who could have put any of a thousand men's....faces....on their April 1st (natch) promo.

Seriously told a bunch of dudes who just got done mudding, hunting, fishing, whatever that if they do not understand this dude acting totally on his meds, then they are just not sophisticated enough for Bud Light.

The politicians telling them all to get back in the field and drink Bud Light was the second finger.
