  4. Mr. G:
    Thanks for sharing that; I had not seen it before. My personal favorite is Budweiser’s tribute to the victims of 9/11, namely this
    To the Budweiser company’s eternal credit, they aired it once and once only, never to be repeated again. That is class…and compassion

  7. After reading and seeing so much detrimental about Islam I fail to see how anyone could practice this theocracy and yet support our western rights and freedoms. I listen to Raheel Raza and sense her dilemma in trying to reconcile these opposite poles.
    When asked what Islam can bring to enhance Western culture Hirsi Ali stated “Nothing!”. So far I have not seen anything that would challenge her statement.

  8. They couldn’t do their usual ad after 9/11 because it was no time for whimsy. I don’t know what I would have come up with either, but this was better than anything I’d have thought of (which would have involved horses biting muslims’ heads off…)

    From the comments:
    “On 9/13 while working the pile at Ground Zero a Budweiser truck pulled up at West broadway near vesey Street. We were slightly surprised that the truck was there. The truck unloaded cases of 6 packs. On our first break we walked over to see what had been delivered. It was Budweiser Emergency Drinking Water! Packaged in beer cans, A-B turned its brewery in to an emergency drinking water operation! It was greatly appreciated by us all, and even got a chuckle or two”

  12. “* In 1998, Jackson’s sons Yusef and Jonathan were awarded the largest Anheuser-Busch beer distributorship in Chicago by company head August Busch IV. He’d been introduced to the Jacksons by Beverly Hills billionaire Ron Burkle– who later hired Karin Stanford, mother of Jesse’s child, as a “consultant.”
    Back in the ’80s, Jesse Jackson had organized a boycott of Anheuser-Busch, complaining about the company’s hiring and promotion practices. The two Jackson sons today refuse `to disclose their- own minority-hiring practices.”

  13. Years ago, in California, I got to stand right next to the Budweiser Clydesdales and their wagon, after a parade*. I also chatted briefly with their Budweiser wagon driver.
    *(The Marysville, Calif. annual Bok Kai Parade, for those wishing to google some fascinating Calif. history from the Wild West days. But I digress…)
    I’m a 6 footer and standing next to these magnificent horses and yet looking up…amazing. Even their shoulders were slightly higher than me.
    They really are beautiful, magnificent horses. The wagon driver, who also worked with these horses at the Bud. farm where they’re kept and bred when not on tour, told me they’re really sweet, friendly horses. Gentle giants.
    I just wish I hadn’t forgotten to bring my camera to watch the parade that day. I’d love to have taken close-up photos and had someone snap me with those magnificent horses and wagon driver and the Bud. wagon.

  15. comment to richfisher,
    the more one reads about the history of Jesse Jackson and his “Rainbow Coalition non-profit social activist organization”, the more one is forced to conclude that Jesse Jackson is an extortionist and racketeer.
    (BTW, “Reverend” is a self-granted title, as Jackson dropped out of theological seminary after the first year.)
    The means Jesse Jackson used to get that beer distributorship for his sons is his standard MO in extorting money from corporations all over America. The threat is to “expose and boycott” a corporation for it’s “discriminatory practices”, with the almost-but-not-quite-stated alternative of “financially showing their support for multiculturalism, opposition to racism, yadda, yadda”. The companies, just to avoid all the hassle, make a large tax-deductible “contribution” to Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition. Jackson goes away, pockets stuffed with extorted corporate money.
    (Some may also remember the brief scandal of some years back when, with Rainbow Coalition money,the married Mr. Jackson paid off money his mistress, who’d had Jackson’s baby, to get her to shut up. As I recall, she got a really nice condo and $5 grand a month, all paid for with Rainbow COalition money, or that’s what a few papers printed. Needless to say, the bulk of the MSM let that story die ASAP.)
    As I remember reading once, the one and only corporation that wouldn’t bend over for Jesse Jackson was the Coors Brewing Co., when it was still privately owned by the (politically conservative) Coors family. The story that went around was that the then-president, Peter Coors, allowed Jackson an appointment with him in his office. When Jackson had finished his extortion spiel, Peter Coors literally told Jackson to go f*** himself, dared him to try a boycott, and threw him out of his office.

  16. I think Bruce is right. The tribute commercial is Bud’s best. The geography seems to be a little screwed up but it works wonderfully well.
