A rumor recently surfaced online that Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of Budweiser, among other popular brands, fired its entire marketing department over the decision to honor a transgender person on a can of the popular Bud Light.
The campaign ended in disaster, with Kid Rock humiliating the company by shooting the crap out of a bunch of beer he had purchased for the occasion. Bud Light sales immediately dropped 80 percent, Augustus Anheuser had to issue a formal apology, and Kid Rock ultimately had the beer banned from his upcoming tour.
But did the company fire its entire marketing department over it? Yes, that’s true. The official line from the human resources department was “go woke go broke.”
We looked into the source of the rumor and tracked down the original author, who wishes to remain anonymous. In order to protect our source, we asked an independent auditor to review the piece and check the writer’s credentials, all of which came back to a person with a stellar reputation. Therefore, we stand by our rating having followed the standards of journalistical integrity.
Hopefully, the marketing department can be rebuilt to include some American values instead of the woke fads of some kids who are probably too young to drink anyway. God Bless America.
This isn’t true at all. And they are publicly defending their decision. They nvr apologized. ?????? Your story is false. Wish it was true. But it’s a lie
People would lie on the internet?? NO way!
Show me the proof they are publicly defending the decision? They haven’t posted on any of their social media accounts. Nothing on A-B, nothing on budweiser, nothing on bud light. This article is clearly lies but the fact they haven’t posted anything about this situation means there’s clearly internal conflict happening right now.

Yeah… I’m no fan of the alphabet mafia, but this story reads like it was researched by an eleven year old.
Disgraceful WOKE marketing, I hear a bunch of people claiming parts of this story are exaggerated, but looking at the facts both sides acknowledge, it is clear Bud Light has made the single largest marketing mistake since it’s inception. Go Woke Go Broke
On April 5, 2023, claims began to spread online that Anheuser-Busch had fired its entire marketing department over the “biggest mistake in Budweiser history.” We found the claim, however, to come from a satire website — there’s no evidence any of it happened.
“TRUE: Anheuser-Busch fired its marketing dept. over ‘Biggest mistake in Budweiser history,'” a Twitter user posted. “The nail in the coffin was Kid Rock ‘shooting the crap out of a bunch of beer’ & banning the beer from his upcoming tour! Bud Light sales dropped 80%!” It linked to an “article” that supposedly supported the claims.
A-B Would do better selling Zy Klon-B in a handy pop-top can
hahahahahaha what are these brain dented comments, good one patriot party, people need to learn to read good grief.
Is Anheuser-Busch stock a buy sell or hold?
Valuation metrics show that Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV may be undervalued. Its Value Score of B indicates it would be a good pick for value investors. The financial health and growth prospects of BUD, demonstrate its potential to outperform the market. It currently has a Growth Score of A.
Should I buy Anheuser

Pls note that A-B sold out to In/Bev years ago, so any comments citing A-B as a source are BS.
