Shouldn't the outrage be properly directed at people who actually drink Bud Light? -- nm - professor smartbrain Mar 17, 13:36 3
- Right? Who drinks that cheap swill anyway? -- nm - CQ Mar 17, 13:46
- Nah, let them drink the swill so that they aren't driving up the prices of my craft beers -- nm - ty97 Mar 17, 13:42

- OFFS -- nm - groiny Mar 17, 13:23 3
  - If you were famous and posted your shtick on twitter, you would be eaten alive. - David Mar 17, 13:27 1
    - I am not famous, but I am the exact same IRL...... - groiny Mar 17, 13:28
  - No shit. These people can't honestly say that they're unaware of the pinch people who aren't wearing green... - ???? Mar 17, 13:26
- Ughh. People are the worst. Poor Bud Light. -- nm - Jovian Mar 17, 13:22
- Wow, I actually needed to read the article to even know why they were outraged. -- nm - ty97 Mar 17, 13:20 1
  - yup -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 17, 13:24
- I don't like it. I'm kinda with the outraged on this one - con_carne Mar 17, 13:19 21
  - So you're saying it's ok to sexually assault men?! -- nm - Ender, SJW Mar 17, 13:21 20
    - I wish someone would sexually assault me. - groiny Mar 17, 13:25 19
      - Go tell it on Craigslist! -- nm - Roger More Mar 17, 13:33
      - See? If you were famous...this post would have people banning whatever it is you're famous for. heh -- nm - ???? Mar 17, 13:30 6
        
        15 minutes apparently. - groiny Mar 17, 13:31 5
        
        My problem with your post is that you weren't very specific. You said someone good looking... - ???? Mar 17, 13:32 4
        
        depends on the nature of the assault. - groiny Mar 17, 13:32 3
        
        I am fairly certain that I have been sexually assaulted by Jack Dawson - groiny Mar 17, 13:34 2
        
        and liked it. nm - ???? Mar 17, 13:34 1
        
        debateable -- nm - groiny Mar 17, 13:34
      - :/ -- nm - b. Mar 17, 13:30 9
        
        come on. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 17, 13:30 8
        
        in all these years, I have rarely said anything about your out-there posts. - b. Mar 17, 13:35 7
        
        ok -- nm - groiny Mar 17, 13:38 6
        
        thanks *kisses your shiny head* -- nm - b. Mar 17, 13:39 5
        
        not for a long while. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 17, 13:40 4
        
        :) - -- nm - b. Mar 17, 13:41 3
        
        it's like you don't know me at all..... -- nm - groiny Mar 17, 13:41 2
        
        on the contrary. - b. Mar 17, 13:49 1
        
        which opening did you leave for me? -- nm - groiny Mar 17, 13:49
      - *unzips* -- nm - Groiny si Mar 17, 13:29
- Isn't this the company that sponsored the Swedish Bikini Team? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 17, 13:18
- [deleted]
- Not a great choice of wording, but the tweet is no worse than the beer they're selling, so at least there's that -- nm - znufrii Mar 17, 13:12
- I hate to do this, but I have to side with Bud on this one. Lighten the fuck up people. -- nm - Ender (4 Days till Puerto Rico) Mar 17, 13:07 1
  - I agree with Ender (and David). -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 17, 13:10
- For me, this falls under the category of "People who WANT to be outraged". -- nm - David Mar 17, 13:06 10
  - agreed -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 13:35
  - mmhmm. -- nm - kelly Mar 17, 13:17
  - For those who are actually outraged, sure. But OTOH I have no problem with people mocking Bud for that tweet. -- nm - Roger More Mar 17, 13:14 2
    - I think the Up for Anything ad campaign is insipid as a slogan but I enjoyed the Warren Sapp and (especially) Pac-Man commercials. - David Mar 17, 13:17 1
      - It's the kind of tweet Zapp Brannigan would write. - Roger More Mar 17, 13:22
  - Are you sure it's not about ethics in alcohol journalism? -- nm - Qale Mar 17, 13:13
  - yup -- nm - budice Mar 17, 13:11
  - Which is a decent subset of Twitter. Was it Slate who ran that, "What were we outraged about today?" calendar for 2014? This is 2015's entry. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 17, 13:10 1
    - the Grantland NHL weekly article does something similar -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 13:36

- Meanwhile, Denny's wins. -- (link) - Tim Mar 17, 13:03 1
  - That's really great. -- nm - David Mar 17, 13:06
- their apology is almost as dumb as the post in question. what possible other read could there have been? -- nm - b. Mar 17, 12:55 17
  - [deleted] 1
    - That was actually my first two readings of it also. - Ender (4 Days till Puerto Rico) Mar 17, 13:17
  - "Up for whatever" is a campaign they're having, it's not related to sex... The tweet happens to feature women and it's misleading, but I don't think - Guigue Mar 17, 13:00 14
    - I get that it's a campaign and that it's not specifically a sex thing, but it's not ok to encourage - b. Mar 17, 13:13 10
      - Isn't pinching a common St Patrick's Day thing though? -- nm - Guigue Mar 17, 13:17 9
        
        "You pinch people for not wearing green on SPD. You should also pinch women who won't f*ck you" is what the tweet is saying -- nm - con_carne Mar 17, 13:30 6
        
        It really isn't - znufrii Mar 17, 13:35
        
        Actually, I believe it said you should also pinch people who aren't #upforanything. - ???? Mar 17, 13:33 3
        
        We can agree to disagree but gender is specified. I ask again, why did it have to be a picture of women? - con_carne Mar 17, 13:41 1
        
        Because tits sell beer. -- nm - znufrii Mar 17, 13:42
        
        Nor do they say anywhere that #upforanything doesn't include that, so.... -- nm - znufrii Mar 17, 13:38
        
        I don't think it says that at all. -- nm - CQ Mar 17, 13:33
        
        yah, that's not the issue. - b. Mar 17, 13:21 1
        
        But b.! If we ban pinching, who's going to protect us from the leprechauns? -- nm - Roger More Mar 17, 13:24
    - "Awesome"? lol -- nm - znufrii Mar 17, 13:08 1
      - It was sarcasm... "Great" too. But the media people do believe it... -- nm - Guigue Mar 17, 13:16
    - No! It could only possibly mean that the company was encouraging assault, duh! -- nm - Qale Mar 17, 13:05

- I read this earlier and understood the point he wanted to make. He failed to articulate it well, though. - David Mar 17, 13:02 1
  - It's better to be in prison than to play in the NFL. -- nm - CQ Mar 17, 13:23
also, I just read some GoT major spoilers and I am not amused! -- nm - Jovian Mar 17, 12:43 3
- You'll have to be more specific -- nm - Roger More Mar 17, 12:51 2
  - some body dies -- nm - Epiphany Mar 17, 12:52 1

Jovian made a really good point on B2. - David Mar 17, 12:30 2

[deleted] 13
- just = last night. it was mentioned in someone's link back there; but, since he says he'll be back, it's extra.... something. - b. Mar 17, 12:41 1
  - back there = bb. -- nm - b. Mar 17, 12:41
- I want to know if the tip jars went empty or got fuller from this campaign. I suspect the former -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 17, 12:38
- #LOLTwitter -- nm - Qale Mar 17, 12:37
- I can just imagine the boardroom discussion now. - znufrii Mar 17, 12:35 6
  - if he was psychic, he never would have run the campaign -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 17, 12:36 5
    - Or had past evidence of corporate hashtag campaigns to look at - znufrii Mar 17, 12:39 4
      - true. he could have used data from dozens of other similar campaigns other companys did -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 17, 12:49 3
        
        What in the blue bloody blazes are you two talking about? It's Twitter. There will always be idiots on Twitter, everybody knows that - con_carne Mar 17, 12:55 2
        
        I'm talking about a corporate SVP being really bad at his job if he didn't see a backlash coming - znufrii Mar 17, 12:59 1
        
        yes -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 17, 13:14
- now he realizes ignoring twitter for a week would have been a smarter choice -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 17, 12:29 1
  - and as a senior VP, he could have assigned dozens & dozens of underlings to monitor it. -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 17, 12:43
Colorado was the only power conference school to accept a CBI invite, but their best player won't participate. -- (link) - Tim Mar 17, 12:23

  - Isn't the district overwhelmingly GOP? - Tim Mar 17, 12:26 5
    - Not "overwhelmingly", but pretty solidly. Both Springfield and Peoria are in the 18th. - TWuG Mar 17, 12:29
    - Pretty much. But there are still several different strains of the GOP in the area. - ReluctantCynic Mar 17, 12:29 2

    - Oh yes. My hometown is super Republican. - Kim Pine Mar 17, 12:27
  - I did. But they Dems don't try very hard in the downstate elections. - TWuG Mar 17, 12:26

- If the charges against Rep. Schock end up being as severe as what put Rep. Jackson under a 30-month sentence ... - ReluctantCynic Mar 17, 12:21
So two of last year's Final Four teams didn't even make the tournament and the other two are the top two picks to win it. -- nm - Tim Mar 17, 12:07 2
