Budweiser Humiliated at Sturgis After Woke Company's Stunt to Win Back Fans Epically Backfires

The punishing conservative boycott of Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Bud Light brand continues unabated, as the beer giant was unceremoniously blackballed at a major motorcycle event it sponsored in South Dakota.

The grim situation was captured in a TikTok video by user CycleDrag, who posted shocking footage Tuesday showing tent after tent with row after row of empty Budweiser booths that had been set up to promote the beer.

The TikTok video was shared on Twitter by a user who noted that there were “ZERO attendees at the Budweiser tent in Sturgis. This may be the BIGGEST marketing blunder of all time!”

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

After doubling down on woke I don't think they'll be coming back. Was the DEI score worth it?

A public execution can do wonders for others going down the same path.

I love the fact that the term "woke" has almost become synonymous with toxic.  Funny how much can change in 3 years.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

I wish the public would take in account more corporations that do exactly what Bud did, but slid under the radar from the general populace.

Rarely does a liberal term meant to show how enlightened libs were/are on social issues get turned around so fast.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

You can't save your face and your ass at the same time.  A-B chose the former.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Capitalism is about capital gains, not DEI.

Corporations exist to serve the stock holders, not liberal social engineering fruit loops.

Corporations and their foundations can do public good with their profits, but their primary business is profit.  Public do-good-ism is a luxury that comes only after profitability.

THAT'S RIGHT. And Bud Light was a 'who's your daddy' moment... And not even from the board room... This, straight from the customer...

And in American business, the customer, the customer, THE CUSTOMER is always right.

DEI is now on its lips.It's going away. Many directors and whole departments being weeded out of HR.

So much for Stakeholder Corporatism. What fun this Bud Light thing has been!

The hilarious part is that when they failed to 'defend' Dylan Mulvaney, AB's immaculate DEI score was removed.

You just can't make this sh*t up  :silly:

I do find this quite comical. Sturgis Rally is a huge event.  Just think of all the $$ that Bud is losing. Serves them right.
