carlito sells out?

I was kind of disappointed to see this Budweiser ad (sorry for the poor quality, it's a photo, not a scan).

Then again, the Chemical Brothers song "Push the Button" is in the tv ad...

Guess it pays to have a bajillion zillion dollars in your marketing departments budget!?! At least the cigars are good!

Money shouldn't matter. Strangely enough, people from other countries, at least in Japan, love Bud. I don't know why.

Makes me cringe to see an ad like this, it also makes me want to boycott AFs

I wonder who's paying for what.
First thing I thought of when I saw it was that Bud was paying A.F.

That would be my guess, also. But, does the add suggest a bad finish with the cigars, or wimp ass beer?

DING DING DING!!!

Dave has this one nailed....

Look at all of the rock songs they have bought over the years like so many other ultra advertisers... I still cannot believe my ears sometimes. So many "Artists" have given in big to advertising... this was probably flattering to AF and they most likely jumped at the chance.

"hey cool, check us out.... we were the most recent company asked to sell out!"

At the end of the day it is just a paycheck... we shouldn't throw stones, most of us would have done the same when we saw the exposure potential and $$$ offered.

Wow. Fuente associates itself with the worst beer on the planet. Well, maybe we'll see a price drop in some of their overpriced stuff....

.. I don't know about the worst... In my limited experience with bad beer (life's too short to drink nasty beer), I think I disliked miller light even more... and I hear natty light's worse...

Dunno Nick. Bud is the king of bad beers for me. I've had chit that cost less that i've liked better

So who here believes the Fuentes aren't in business to make money? I don't agree with everything they do, but they are marketing geniuses and have plenty of sycophants who gobble up everything they spew out.

While attending certain "upscale" (read frat) parties while in college Bud was considered the best in the keg. I always thought it was too heavy for doing keg stands though - you could hold out twice as long with natty or beast.
