Discussion: Bud Light: On St. Patrick's Day Pinch Those Who Aren't 'UpForWhatever'

Ad includes tweet “You can pinch people who are not up for whatever” with pic of four young attractive women under the hashtag “up for whatever”. Inference is clear who the “people” are to which the ad refers.

But the ad also conflicts with the “drink responsibly” ad campaigns. The ugly beer industry secret is that without the inebriated buying beer, industry revenues would be a small fraction of what they are, as only about 1/8 of consumers account for almost 70% of beer sales.

Because what a bunch of drunken college amateurs needs is encouragement to grope strangers.

Everything looks like porn if you try hard enough.

Opps, I said “hard”… that must be a rape reference I made.

Oh yea. Another Huffingpost Style headline on TPM.

Of course you are not saying that guys who harass women are doing the same thing as viewing porn. Right?

We shouldn’t waste our time ridiculing this crap–it’s too easy.

Gee, “Up for Whatever.” Does that, like, have anything to do with getting drunk and having sex? Because if it does, I’m, like, Up for Whatever! Uh-oh, I think I’m gonna pu-blllleeeeeggghhh!

I mean, it doesn’t even register on the intelligence scale.

Nope. Are you saying that guys who drink and celebrate St. Paddy’s day and people who pinch those not wearing green, or drink Bud Light are harassers of women?
