Drink Bud Light and Get Laid

It seem that competition from real beer is proving tough for Anheuser-Busch:

A new label on some bottles of Bud Light, one of the brands owned by the beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev, is falling flat among women, a demographic group the industry has been desperately courting in hopes of jump-starting flagging sales of suds.

In a continuation of its “Up for Whatever” campaign, a wide blue band low on the label says, “The perfect beer for removing ‘no’ from your vocabulary for the night.”

Very classy.

I'm typically not surprised by much of anything anymore. But this left me shaking my head in disbelief.

At least it didn't say “The perfect beer for removing ‘no’ from her vocabulary for the night.”

Anheuser-Busch could be hurting bad. If you've got mega capacity to pay for, you can go broke if demand become 'mega-10%.'

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you don't actually believe it had to say exactly that to be saying exactly that.

My basic take on the whole thing is that this shows that the assholes as Bud are indeed scared and desperate.

I don't drink alcohol so I guess that puts me at a bit of a disadvantage in a discussion about the beer business. Is Busch suffering some sort of market share crisis?
