This Bud's for you, or else

I had heard about this story a while ago, and completely forgotten it until the news again reminded me.

It would seem Mr. Hopkins, an employee of Budweiser, was fired for drinking Coors at a local bar.

What's next? Wal-mart "associates" fired for shopping at Target? Burger King employees terminated for eating at Denny's? Dog walkers given their dog-walking papers for owning cats?

I hereby promise that I will never let Budweiser pass these lips again (unless there's no other beer available.)

But seriously, what assholes. Only the "King" of beers would dare such hubris. I don't think that it will happen, but I sincerely hope that they take a good hit in the wallet for this behavior. Join me, and boycot Bud. Let the cry of a half dozen angry beer drinkers be heard, and let Budweiser tremble before our (burp) wrath!

Talleulah, first the Tick and now Negra Modelo, can you get ANY cooler?

The megahugantic Coors corporation flat-out makes better beer than Budweiser. Period. Besides them bitches at Budweiser owe me $4000 for some advertising I sold them 10 years ago. When you're that big, apparently you don't have to pay people for goods and services- you just take them. If I were that guy, I'd sue Budweiser for turning me into an alcoholic.

Talleulah - That's the only kind of revolution I'll lead or follow myslef: the no-sacrifice variety.

David - We're just not seeing eye to eye on this whole beverage thing, are we?

Kaci - Don't even get me started on Albertsons!

J - Good. I will continue to NOT do the same! And could you just block my number? It'd be easier for both of us.

Yawn - Can't say that I like Coors, either... but I have no personal beef with them. Enjoy.

Joining your boycott is easy for me:

1. I don't drink beer
2. We don't have Bud. We have real beer.

I'll tell ya what- I'll do one better! I'll ban all beer altogether! Just in case other beer companies might do the same.

Oh. Wait. I don't like beer to begin with.

Mmmm...Zima....

I swear sometimes I think I'm the only non-drinker left on the planet, but hey, just for kicks, I'll claim I'm boycotting Bud too.

Pretty easy for me since I think it tastes like I imagine piss would taste like. (Having never actually tasted piss, I'm not sure. But I'm guessing.)If I'm gonna have to drink a beer, I want a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. If they even make those anymore. I dunno, I never drink beer.

But what about that fact that we transport for Budweiser, and through them Corona? What about the three cases of Bud in our garage I received as a Christmas bonus? What happens if they find out I'm married to a revolutionary? Javert will lock me in the cage and throw away the key. Will you wait for me?

Pay no attention to the loaf-thief behind the curtain.

Bud in the garage? Hahaha. Surely you jest. That would make me a... hypocrite.

Crap. Jig's up people. Go back to not drinking bud anyway. But I want you to glare really hard at any that you see in the grocery store. Just so that it knows.
