Get Woke, Go Broke

Standard Disclaimer: This content is not suitable for most work places, thin skinned moonbats, politically correct people, or anyone under 18 years of age who can't think for themselves and has no sense of humor.  If you can't tolerate hate speech, don't read this.

I was all set to write about this, and the Old NFO beat me to it.  Take a look and a read if you're so inclined, and remember you saw it here - or something.

But before you do, you need a little background.  A lot of the people reading this hound already know this, and have known it since they were ten years old.  Two things you have to know about beer to appreciate what's happening here:

  1. The manufacturer who brews this swill packages it and sells it (yeah, no shit Sherlock...) ahem! to a distributor, who then, in turn, takes the packaged product around to various retail outlets - stores, bars, whatever.  Why does it work this way?  Because, genius.
  2. The distributor takes what the manufacturer sends him.  No, it's not supposed to work this way, but this is the way it works.  Again, because.  See?

There's money involved in every step, which should answer most questions.  So - got that?  Brewer, distributor, bar, consumer, DUI, domestic, Fraternity Toga Party, and eventually, drunk tank.  Like always, there's money in it.

Now that we're all on the same page, looking at the same picture of Ms. Budweiser Light of 2022, here we go...

Get woke…

From the Old NFO article:

Many Anheuser-Busch distributors say they are resigned to their painful Bud Light losses — and that they have given up on luring back disaffected customers following the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco, The Post has learned.

After four months of hiring freezes and layoffs — with some beer truck drivers getting heckled and harassed even as Bud Light sales have dropped by more than 25% — Anheuser-Busch wholesalers have accepted that they have lost a chunk of their customers for good — and need to focus on a new crop of drinkers.

Fiasco isn't the word for it.  Fucking train wreck with sixteen tank cars of napalm next door to an orphanage, is, perhaps, a much more accurate metaphor.

The New York Post ran a story on this one.  Here is a highlight or two:


Bud Light truck drivers have been flipped the bird, called homophobic slurs in wake of Dylan Mulvaney fiasco

From the article:

A Kansas-based distributor, Pestinger Distribution Company, which serves 23 rural counties in the state, told ABC News that it has seen a nearly 30% fall in sales of Bud Light since boycott calls grew early last month.

Anson Frericks, an executive who left Anheuser-Busch InBev last year, told ABC News: “The biggest losers here are the 500 independent businesses in the US that distribute  [the distributors - MJ] Anheuser-Busch products.”

“Those are the people really hurting,” Frericks said.

The thing is, the distributors are caught in the middle.  Imagine you're a distributor, and everything is going along as smoothly as possible (ask any entrepreneur about an easy job, and once he stops laughing...), and suddenly without any warning at all, your supplier starts a new ad campaign featuring a famous faggot dressed up like a woman, lisping something about being light.  Your customers are blue collar vets who want to shoot a pedophile and mount the taxidermized head over the bar.  Do you really think they're going to buy anything that features a cock-sucking, fudge packing pree-vert faggot in its advertising?  They'll tie it to the back of a pickup and drag it over ten miles of bad road.

The article continues:

Matt Pestinger, the owner of the distributor, told ABC News that he has seen a 2% drop in revenue since the Mulvaney social media posts went viral.

“We’re stressed some because you never want to see red numbers,” he said.

Pestinger has resisted cutting costs. To make up for the shortfall, he has spent more on sponsorships of local festivals and charities, he told ABC News.

Stressed?  He's stressed?  That's a gross understatement.  He's getting the stainless steel shaft without lube, and there isn't much he can do about it.  What's he going to do, tell the folks at InBev he won't buy their product anymore because they screwed up the advertising so completely that it won't ever recover?  And yes, I mean that literally.  It'll be three generations before this little bomb is forgotten.

Maybe more to the point is wondering just what the ever loving fuck upper management at InBev was thinking when they gave this idea the green light.  The number of faggots in the U.S. of A. is some fraction of one percent, but let's say it's more.  Let's say it's five percent.  So, InBev has some fraction of five percent already buying its product, and they're switching their advertising to feature the Famous Faggot in the hope of accomplishing what?  This move is stupid beyond all belief, but it happened.  If I were the new CEO of InBev, I'd start an Al Capone style retirement plan.

Again, last time, from the article:

Even more alarming, industry experts say, is the negative impact on Anheuser-Busch InBev’s other brands, including Budweiser and Michelob Ultra — with the latter being the nation’s No. 3 beer last year with more than $3.3 billion in sales.

No surprise here.  And so it goes, but it isn't all beer sales.  It's everywhere.  Consider the Hollywood film industry.

We've got two films here.  Sound of Freedom, which is about human trafficking and the perverse behavior that goes along with it. 

Sound Of Freedom
PG-13 2022, Crime/Drama, 2h 11m
Audience Score: 99%
Box Office (Gross USA): $149.4 million
Cost to Make: $14.5 million

Then we've got the woke version of Indiana Jones, which everyone has been waiting for.

Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny
PG-13 2023, Adventure/Action, 2h 24m
Audience Score: 88%
Box Office (Gross USA): $167.1M
Cost to Make: $295 million before marketing, making it one of the most expensive movies ever made.

It, like the rest of the Disney woke crap, is losing money.  Little wonder.  Once Disney set aside gay days for their Orlando nightmare, I knew they were headed down the slide.

They, that is to say the film industry, sat on Sound of Freedom for ten years before releasing it.  Why?  Because the story didn't fit in with their agenda, which is something along the lines of normalizing pedophilia, human trafficking, and drug use.  All these crimes and vices are perfectly acceptable if you're wealthy and/or famous enough.

This incredible crap is evil.  Until we the people do something to stop it, things will get worse.

I liked this found it quite interesting, I have heard of WOKE but no bugga all about it except that there are a lot of idiots saying really stupid stuff that makes one wonder are these people are so stupid or just a bunch of attention seeking fools. I have no problem with gay people just idiots and man haters and those who think the world owes them something and they don't have to work or take responsibility for their actions.

Here's the thing- Satan's time is growing short. He's pushing to finish off the corruption of mankind. So he pushed a little too hard here. But see, he's also got a concession on hate and divisiveness, and he more than made up for it here. Innocent drivers getting heckled and worse, no matter WHAT their opinions of the deal were. So we all clamber up on our hills and shout at each other. We SHOULD be clambering up our hill and PRAYING. Hard to do while you're spray painting "God hates fags" on InBev trucks, for example. Not bashing your (correct) opinions in anyway, just saying there's more to this, and too many of us are falling for it.

I'm sure Soros isn't the only anti human wanting to push things along so they can celebrate their destruction of humanity before they die.

We used to understand that the common sexual perversion behaviour patterns were closely linked. Faggots were often cross dressers as well, or exhibitionists, or child molestors. The left has largely white washed that out of the public consciousness. 20 years ago I’d get banned off the old chat boards for saying that if you let the queers out, all the sexually disturbed lunatics would come prancing out of that closet with them. And here we are today…where pedos and lunatics are just another couple frooty colours of the pervert rainbow. There IS great evil here too…these guys drive kiddie porn, human trafficking, the spread of disease, and mental illness. Stop trying to dodge the problem by claiming to tolerate one group of sickos and not the others.

And no, we should NOT be praying. In most shitlib cities, when the rainbow folk are out grooming children and providing freak shows for the debased… if you stand up and pray for their redemption you will get arrested and fined or worse. These guys are openly declaring their intent to rape and indoctrinate your kids, folks. And all you’re going to do is pray about it? Hell’s bells - God made you better than that!

If I see some truck driver getting pounded simply for delivering woke brands…I am just peachy with it. All of us need to put our foot down on this and put a bloody stop to it. The teachers pushing this in public schools should be horsewhipped. The gay bars should be shut down. The kiddie pornographers should be jailed and torn limb from limb by the other inmates. These people are attacking your culture, your institutions, and now your kids… and you let them do it?

They all live somewhere..

JoAnne: Thanks! I have no problem with gay people either - just don't push your ideology on others.

CW: I'm afraid you're right. The evil one thinks time is short, and it may well be, but even the evil one doesn't know everything.

Ed: Thank you.

Justin: Soros, like his affiliates and comrades, is evil. The Ayatollah Obongo wanted to destroy the U.S., and the damage he was able to bring about was severe. Still, we're surviving, and ultimately we'll win this one.

Glen: The entire 'truck driver' scenario smacks of 'just following orders', as if there is no other option. Yes, there are other options. Choose one.

I drive past a Black Lives Matter sign on an irregular basis, and I've always wanted to put both barrels from my 12 gauge into that sign.

Glen, I'd still rather see them not in hell. And if praying might save one out of a million, it's time well spent. But in front of them? I'm not going to seek them out. I know they won't listen to me. God may decide for one of them to open their eyes though, and I will keep praying for that.
