Comic Amy Schumer backs Kaepernick, says she won't do Super Bowl ads
« on: October 21, 2018, 03:59:34 am »
U.S. comedian and actress Amy Schumer has said she will not appear in any commercials during the 2019 Super Bowl in support of National Football League quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s protests against racial injustice.

SNIP

The “Trainwreck” star also urged members of the band Maroon 5, who are scheduled to play during the Super Bowl halftime show, to back out.

I'm sure advertisers were falling all over themselves to hire her to tout their products.  Ha! She showed them!  :pondering:

Good for her for following my lead. I also refuse to appear in a Super Bowl ad. Stay strong, fellow woke people!

I don't know if anyone remembers, but the commercials Amy did last football season were so negativly received by the public they yanked them off the air.

Bud Light abruptly pulls Amy Schumer, Seth Rogen ads

Anheuser-Busch InBev has pulled the plug on its Bud Light ads featuring comedians Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen.

According to Adweek, the beer giant pulled the ads “a little earlier than expected” after its beer sales declined in the third quarter.

The Schumer-Rogen ads launched earlier this year before the Super Bowl and played off of the presidential election featuring a mock Bud Light political party.

One of the advertisements dubbed “Equal Pay” received a lot of negative attention online. In the video, the comedians denounced the gender wage gap by saying Bud Light “costs the same, whether you’re a dude or a lady.” Comments on the video have since been disabled on YouTube.

Yeah, but she really rocked those Chik-Fil-A ads.

That's a relief...but, then again, I don't intend to watch the Super Bowl Big GameTM.

She'll do anything for attention. Now she's announced she's pregnant.

So the woman whose face resembles a potato is going to pop out a Tater Tot!
