You have an ultra left student, in an ultra left university, in an ultra left city where the ultra left hates the country, the police and Jews.
Furthermore the left has been telling you that this is who they are for the last decade or more, loudly by both words and by actions, many of them violent.
Why would you expect anything other than what you got?
By all mean be outraged at this speech and the person who delivered it, but you have no business being surprised.
Not the bee is having fun with it but the reason why they don’t get the joke at Rolling Stone is that their target audience does not consist of the normal.
We’re approaching the two-month mark of the Bud Light boycott, which of course began when transgender social media, utilizing his–yes his–goofy 1950s-sitcom ditz schtick to recklessly promote Bud Light beer.
Immediately, I was confident that this boycott had staying power, despite the increasingly irrelevant mainstream media telling its dwindling audience it did not. As Da Tech Guy himself explained, Anheuser-Busch’s problem is that Bud Light is too easy to boycott. Coors Light, Miller Lite, which taste similar–assuming that light beers have a distinguishable taste–are usually available in the same liquor stores, supermarkets, bars, and restaurants. And they are all priced about the same.
American megabrewers are selling image and personality. Beer? Not so much. And in a few days, Bud Light, after partnering with Mulvaney, torched its macho brand-building work of four decades in just a few days. “Fratty” is the word used by the now-on-leave marketing head for Bud Light, Alissa Heinerscheid. Anheuser-Busch’s non-apology from its CEO only fanned the flames.
Bud Light’s slogan is, “Easy to drink, easy to enjoy.” And it’s easy to boycott.
Boss (John Cleese character): Now, let’s have a look at the sales chart (indicates a plummeting sales graph). When you took over this account, Frog (Eric Idle character), Conquistador was a brand leader. Here you introduced your first campaign, “Conquistador Coffee brings a new meaning to the word vomit.” Here you made your special introductory offer of a free dead dog with every jar, and this followed your second campaign “the tingling fresh coffee which brings you exciting new cholera, mange, dropsy, the clap, hard pad, and athlete’s head. From the House of Conquistador.”
Yeah, I know, Bud Light’s Mulvaney campaign hasn’t been, so far, as awful for Anheuser-Busch as it was for the fictional Monty Python coffee brand. But sales of the beer continue to slide. Last week, by way of a $15 mail-in rebate, A-B started giving the beer away, because, unlike wine and hard liquor, beer has a brief shelf-life.
So, yes, boycotts can be effective.
But we were told by the mainstream media that boycotts don’t work.
Around that same time, Patrick Coffee (no relation to Python’s Conquistador Coffee) of the Wall Street Journal, while citing other experts, opined that about the Bud Light boycott that “such campaigns often have failed to deliver a meaningful blow.” (Paid subscription might be required to access the link.)
So where are the finger-waving fact-checkers? Why haven’t these articles been revised?
Meanwhile, Target is facing a boycott over its prominent promotions of “tuck-friendly,” that is, male-genitilia-hiding, swimsuits, as well as arguably promoting the trans agenda to children. It has lost $10 billion in market valuation since a boycott began against Target.
Yesterday’s game was a Microcosm of the entire Celtics 2023 season, a Meh start, a long run when they were ahead. Slowly losing the lead and just about blowing it in the end and then when all seems lost a miraculous save.
When I watched the interviews at the end the Heat’s coach was spot on that their defensive team did exactly what they should have. Kept the ball out of Tatum’s hands and guarding him under the rim. They were making sure that Butler didn’t beat him and he didn’t. It was a bad break for them.
The big play of course was Derick White’s put back with .1 of a second on the clock. Take a look at the video again and you’ll note that White immediately sprints for the corner and the rim and puts himself in a position to make the play. That’s what a professional does.
The parallels to the 2004 RedSox are incredible. Losing the first three games, the third in an embarrassing blowout coming back with a heroic play to even things up, not quite a bloody sock but pretty dramatic.
If I’m the Celtics management I have David Ortiz and Curt Schilling at the Garden for game 7.
Of course even if Boston wins tomorrow night they still have one more series to win for a title. The Red Sox came off their game seven win to sweep a very good St. Louis team. I suspect Denver is going to be a tougher nut to crack then the cards, but we’ll see.
