I don’t see why there would be outrage other than the fact no one is drinking bud light and the only person drinking has a corona.

None of their current advertising caused “outrage” either. Those who criticized them for being “woke” weren’t truly outraged, they were just parroting right-wing propagandists because they are unable to think critically.
Pretending to be outraged just magnifies their voices and makes for more eyes on TV/news, that’s all. Don’t they always call others “crisis actors”? Seems to fit those faux-outraged folks. Remember: every accusation is actually a confession.

Fox News didnt tell them to be upset so they didn’t know they needed to be

I think people were more mad at budlight for calling its customers frat boys, not the fact they put a man on the can

Most macro brewerys have always made gay themed POS, however at least in my area it was always relegated to alternate lifestyle establishments. Tried taking some to normal bars etc and was politely refused. We’d get shipped things very rarely but my boss would hand it off to one of us and just tell us to give it to a gay bar.

I love every part of this sign. That 90s/00s aesthetic hits hard.

Crazy how encouraging diversity and self acceptance is controversial now. Like cmon this is just fun, not “woke”. I hate Bud Light, and advertisement in general, but if I have no choice then I’d rather see ads like this again.

Those things were special made for bars with large homosexual clienteles. There was zero chance of seeing one at a mainstream bar or liquor store.

Most people today have no idea how long Bud Light has been trying to market to lgbt bars.

Adults didn’t have social media yet. Well at least the ones we know today.

Politics weren’t injected into every facet of our lives in the early 2000’s

Yeah because back then no one was making money from manufactured rage on that particular topic.

Wow, it’s almost as if the simple, basic message “everyone be cool” works way better than putting an obnoxious idiot as the face of one’s company.

People’s sexual preferences or identities weren’t being thrown around as it is now. Just be you. Forward.

Oh it did. Society just wasn’t as connected as they are all on the internet and connected today. Maybe it just didn’t cause a ruckus where *YOU* lived @op… >.>

They used to do lots of ads (some even using actual people) in markets like SF, but those ads basically would never be seen outside of them. They might have even stopped them since people will take a photo, share on social and get RWNJ groups frothing.

Republicans weren’t soft as baby shit and brainwashed by Fox News yet back then.

What cracks me up about the current “controversy” is all those knuckle draggers switched to Michelob. Which is owned by the same company…

We didn’t have social media, social media ruined this country.

Wonder why the guy in the front is hiding his can of Bud in his pants. That’s his can of Bud right?

I feel like post social media there was less outrage.
