You missed it up at the top of the article, though the author didn’t use “she” because he used “her” to refer to Mulvaney.
*** What were they thinking? How did someone believe that making “trans woman” Dylan Mulvaney the icon of a Bud Light ad campaign, complete with a beer can with her image on it, would be good for sales? With an ad featuring this person vamping around in the most preposterously possible way?
Dylan, who had previously been interviewed on trans issues by President Biden himself, was celebrating “365 Days of Girlhood” with her grotesquely misogynistic caricature that would disgust just about the whole market for this beer. Indeed, this person’s cosplay might as well be designed to discredit the entire political agenda of gender dysphoriacs. ***
It was only one can…but that was one can too many.
You’re right. They only talk to each other. A sizable reservoir of confirmation results, which can sustain even obvious delusions for a lifetime.
You are right...I missed that usage of “her.” I think I spotted it on the first reading and was disappointed like you, but overlooked it when I went back to look for “she.”
I stand corrected.
Yes, we need to expunge ALL uses of the feminine when referring to males. Do not give an inch on this!
“Since March 31, shares of Bud Light’s parent company have fallen by nearly 4% — knocking down the company’s market capitalization from $132.38 billion to $127.13 billion on Wednesday.”
A company worth $127B?
Secular religious (or cult, should you prefer) dogma causes normally respectible, well-intentioned people to do despicable things to other people ... and, especially, to other peoples' children.
This is the nadir of where our American society has devolved to today ... Much of which is attributable directly to the horrible, morality-sucking effects of what so many politicians, unelected bureaucrats and "experts" deliberately and forcefully did during the Fauci Flu debacle so as to gain momentary fame or to make a ton of money or, in many cases, to obtain and, literally, to enjoy vast new power to control the lives of others.
Nike and Olay also.
You’re right. I watched Hill Street before that.
A can too far.
Lost $5 billion or 4 percent in value.
Going to be one hell of a suck up plan but they may find out once you jump off the building it’s a no return deal.
Lost only 4%, we can do better.
They care more about social engineering than profit usually
And they nearly all bow to woke extortion
I remember arguing with pc folks here two decades ago about tv commercials mixing race at a fever
Folks here rationalized oh they just want more audience
I was like bullshit ad agencies are run by stereotypical folks who live to change culture their way
Well has anyone looked at tv commercials lately
It’s become ridiculous the social engineering today I mean laughable
He [Marx] kicked off a new age of the classless society under the leadership of the vanguard of the proletarian classes.
Where did it all go wrong? Because it did even in Marx's lifetime and he knew it. It's that "vanguard". It became obvious to him and codified by Lenin and his team that (1) the industrial proletariat as they knew it wasn't a revolutionary class and (2) that it became so inclined at the behest of a revolutionary vanguard that was decidedly not proletarian: academics, media influencers of the day, and upper-class agitators with university degrees. Those in turn became the New Class (a formulation described in Milovan Djilas's work by that name), an elite with none of the obligations or restraints typical of the old upper class. The New Boss wasn't the same as the Old Boss, he was worse.
And here we are. There was never any real threat of disbanding the corporations that were Marx's "means of production" - you can't run a factory with a worker's soviet, and they did try. Consequently, the "state capitalism" of Lenin's New Economic Policy levered the political agitators of that vanguard into roles they were simply not suited for and unable to adapt to. It's one major reason for the universal economic failure of such governments, from the Soviet Union to present-day Cuba and Venezuela. Party climbers don't count beans very well.
Contrast the ineptness - it is likely to be devoid of personal consequence - of Alissa Gordon Heinerscheid, with the highly effect leadership of non-members such as Elon Musk. It's there in plain view. Heinerscheid wanted not to change the consumption patterns of her working-class customers, she expected to change the class itself. That is hubris on a cosmic level, the detachment of a person so privileged as to disdain from bearing her own children. Such an individual isn't likely to be tipping a few back with the boys on the bass boat. And it does make a difference.
He has 11 million followers.
Even if AB did not produce vids it was really dumb to send the dude cans.
They were banking on the non-woke crowd to never see his videos. Sorry, kiddos at these woke companies, we *old fogeys* have been around the block a time or two. We’re not as stupid as you think we are.
My employer would periodically hire entry-level staff, and I was one of the senior people who would review resumes and interview job candidates. Around the mid-2000s, I noticed that many of the candidates fit a certain profile. Item #3 was something I had never seen before:
1. Age: 25-27
2. Education: BS and MS from top programs in my field
3. Prior employment of any kind (even a summer job in college or an after-school job in high school): NONE
These people invariably ended up being the most troublesome, difficult employees we ever had — and I attribute it entirely to their total lack of any real-world life exposure in their formative years.
I think corporate America is filled with these misfits.
Budweiser should have stuck with those beautiful Clydesdales and the puppies in their advertising. Those were feel-good and heartwarming.
Tastes great.
