This Bud's not for you: Anheuser-Busch does the unthinkable and gets hammered!
ST. LOUIS, Missouri (PNN) - April 4, 2023 - Will the conservative-populist slogan of the moment, "Go woke, go broke," apply to one of Amerika's most venerable companies, Anheuser-Busch, of Clydesdales fame, the maker of Budweiser and Bud Light beers, and dozens of other brands?
St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch has entered into a promotional partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, a 26-year-old man who recently celebrated living one year as a transsexual, faux "woman" on TikTok.
Mulvaney specializes in putting out short videos mimicking exaggerated feminine and even girlish characteristics - including a March 18 video of him dressed as a six-year-old girl living in the Plaza Hotel in New York City, a bizarre recreation of the girl Eloise in the 2003 family film, Eloise at the Plaza. The Plaza Hotel is one of Mulvaney's corporate sponsors.
Anheuser-Busch created a specially designed can with Mulvaney's visage marking his one-year anniversary as a supposed "woman"; disregarding the simple fact that God made him male. The pervert celebrates his ungodly and false self-characterization as a female.
Conservatives reacted with outrage and anger that another seemingly wholesome Amerikan corporation, steeped in tradition and middle-Amerikan values, had gone "woke" by teaming up with a perverted transsexual who is pretending to be female even though God made him male to millions worldwide, including many young people who might be lured into pursuing their own perverted cross-sex, plastic-surgery-assisted "transition" by the glamour, fame and money accorded the perverted and unnatural Mulvaney.
"Congratulations @AnheuserBusch. You have made sure that I will never buy or drink @Budweiser or @budlight ever again," tweeted Harvey Lesser.
Others were more forceful in making their point. The rock star "Kid Rock" (Robert James Ritchie), went so far as to tweet out a video of him shooting up a few cases of unopened Bud Light cans with a semi-automatic rifle, followed by an expletive-laden message to the camera for Anheuser-Busch.
At press time, Kid Rock's 35-second video had 21 million views, gaining four million views in a few hours - surely not the sort of publicity envisioned by A-B executives and their woke, "Diversity, Equity, Inclusion" (DEI)-embracing staff when they signed up the over-the-top, biologically male "girly girl" Mulvaney.
As for Anheuser-Busch's bottom line, Wesley Yang "quote-tweeted" a post by Oli London, who noted, "Dylan Mulvaney is now getting paid $10,000+ to be the face of brands including: 'BudLight, Tampax, Kate Spade, Kitchen Aid, Plaza Hotel, Stella McCartney, Crest. Perverted mock women = get rewarded.'" Attached to it is a Bud Light promotional video in which Mulvaney luxuriates and plays in a bubble bath with a supply of Bud Light cans nearby.
"Is there any evidence he [Mulvaney] moves merchandise?" Yang asked. "I just want to understand what's driving this."
Anheuser-Busch answered the criticism by saying the outreach with the pervert was just a means to connect with a particular audience. Mulvaney has amassed 10.8 million followers and 440,000 "likes" on his TikTok page in a bit more than one year.
"Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics and passion points. From time to time, we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like (pervert) Dylan Mulvaney. This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public," said an unnamed Anheuser-Busch spokesman.
With Anheuser-Busch now joining the pandering ranks of corporate "trans" allies, it is perhaps useful to compare the perverted LGBT activist Mulvaney's controversial videos and the backlash his hiring has created to a wholesome and touching Father's Day ad that the company ran in 2019, celebrating stepfathers who "stepped up" to be the loving, caring dads for children who initially were not theirs.
