Dear SABMiller here's your list of does and don'ts:
DO bring in a real beer recipe, while back in the old days I drank Miller because it was better than ButtWiper and RockyMountainPissWater it's still a pretty skanky beer and with the modern age of microbrews and imports there's just no reason for a man to drink 2nd rate beer (note, you guys make a lot of money from me on Pilsner Urqel so this shouldn't come as news).
DON'T change advertising firms. Whoever has been doing Miller commercials the last 4 or 5 years (since the 70s cop show style commercials) kicks butt. Brilliant commercials that I actually look forward to.

You might read up a little more in depth yourself, dimwit. Who gives a damn where a company flies it's flag, when a good part of its operations are based elsewhere.

1999
SAB moves its primary listing back to London, raising £300 million in international markets. The strategy is to develop and expand its international beer and other beverage operations and to invest in the rapidly-growing gaming industry in South Africa. SAB is a FTSE 100 stock.

And what does it matter that a country a co does business in has a high level of AIDS?

You're just mad that I called you a dunce, dunce. That's why you're stalking me, weirdo.

Good, maybe they can teach them how to make a good beer. S. Africa has some good ones, I'd like to see Lion get imported.
