Why is it that no matter how good intentioned something is, SOMEBODY will always have a problem with it? I was just watching NBC Nightly News and saw a story on the Anheuser Busch ad from the Super Bowl. This was the one showing the returning soldiers walking through the airport. While it wasn't funny like the typical Super Bowl ad, it was one of the classiest and heartfelt ads I've seen in a long time. I think NBC did a good job showing the ad and mentioning how it was made as well as the intent behind it.
At the end of the story, they threw in some scruffy college aged kid who said that the ad was inappropriate and to capitalize on the troops to sell beer was wrong. Herein lies the problem. Some people are never happy. They constantly have to whine and find problems where none exist. Instead of saying "WOW...that was a real nice ad...Good job Anheuser Busch!", they beleive that it is all a big conspiracy by the evil corporate beer-mongers to hook us on Budweiser. By the way, none of the products AB sells was even mentioned in the add...no Budweiser...no Michelob...no Bud Light...just a simple "Anheuser Busch" at the end. A very heartfelt "good job" from the Margarita Lounge! Lets go drink a Bud Light.
