New in PJ Media:
Cat got your tongue, Bud Light? The giant beer corporation has been silent for over a week, ever since it came to light that pretend woman Dylan Mulvaney was the pretend beer’s new spokesman. Since then, silence. Gee, Bud Light, aren’t you proud of your front guy?
Bud Light operates one of those fun, friendly social media accounts we see quite often from corporate giants these days. On March 30, it tweeted or replied to tweets over fifteen times, with messages on the order of “Win tickets to Stagecoach for you and a friend! Travel and hotel accommodations covered” and “Have a cold one for us.” On March 31 came twenty more tweets and replies, including “There’s still time to win beer money. Which women’s team do you think will win it all?,” and a reply to a well-wisher: “Bud Light loves you back.” On April 1 it was more of the same, but we haven’t heard from Bud Light since 8:50PM that evening, when it tweeted: “Beers on us? Must be game time. For a chance to win, cheer on your team with #EasyToEnjoySweepstakes in the replies.” That was the day that Mulvaney was revealed to be Bud Light’s new spokesdude. But isn’t Bud Light proud, like all LGBTQETC activists constantly insist they are?
It isn’t just Bud Light, either. The UK’s Daily Mail reported Sunday that “The famous beer also hasn’t posted on their main Instagram feeds since March 31 and have not posted to Facebook since March 30. Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch, has also gone without posting since April 1.” This is unusual, for “while they have gone a few days without tweeting in the past, the @BudLight is typically fairly active, as are their other regular social channels.” What could account for this? It looks as if it’s because of Dylan Mulvaney.
It was on April 2, Bud Light’s first day of total social media silence, that Mulvaney posted a video of himself pitching Bud Light. Mulvaney added this caption: “Happy March Madness!! Just found out this had to do with sports and not just saying it’s a crazy month! In celebration of this sports thing @budlight is giving you the chance to win $15,000! Share a video with #EasyCarryContest for a chance to win!! Good luck! #budlightpartner”
One would think that since Bud Light often uses its social media accounts to tout such offers, and had just been pushing a few contests and deals in the preceding days, it would have jumped on this and pushed Mulvaney’s Easy Carry Contest on Twitter. Instead, not a word. Could it be, could it even be remotely conceivable, that Bud Light is horrified by the backlash it has received, and is actually embarrassed to be touting this ersatz woman and attention hound?
There is more. Read the rest here.

BL: “There’s still time to win beer money. Which women’s team do you think will win it all?”
The team with the most men.
Did ancient Rome have Bud Light?
somehistory says
“the team with the most men.”
When I was in elementary school, I pitched in all our softball games. Except for the ones where the boys played with us; and one of them pitched, making me his shortstop.
the balls were hit harder and went way out of the school yard and into the woods.
We knew even then, that boys were stronger than girls.

Normalizing abnormality always comes with negative consequences.
Keith O says
Or, in this case, normalizing mental health issues.
Using someone who has obvious mental health problems in this manner is crass and demeaning to the people with the mental illness.
Mulvaney fits this category perfectly, with his obvious mental health problems.
James Lincoln says
Keith O,
Not just “normalizing”, but turning the mentally ill into something that is supposed to be celebrated – rather than treated.
Wellington says
Mental health issues are a form of abnormality—at least I hope so because if “normal” then mankind is in even bigger trouble than I have previously thought.
In any case, I agree with you that treating mental illness as something not mental illness is cruel on its face—damn stupid too.

The Assistant Secretary of HEALTH and Human Services, Admiral Rachel Levine, is a man who wears a skirt, lipstick and heels.
I wonder if the beer brain surgeons ever thought that drinking beer in the bath was not a healthy idea, was he / she / it, going to drink all those cans of beer? A beer form of MAID perhaps.
Westman says
Before Reagan emptied the mental institutions, Mulvaney would have been committed at the most and given psychiatric treatment at the least. Now the inmates hold society hostage through grooming educational institutions, cowardly corporations, and snooping degenerate government.
Society fails when it creates new fervent religious beliefs, like climate change, sexuality, etc, which are divorced from personal moral behavior. Instead of producing peace, It becomes its own intolerant God.
somehistory says
Home intruders are not the same as homeowners. Doctors are not the same as witchdoctors.
males are not the same as females. the video of this creepy, lying male, pretending to be a woman in a bath is sickening. Any woman who looked as he does, would be seeking medical help…menta and physical.
Not a good promo for a drink more men than women consume…beer. Businesses once used shapely women to gain the attention of the male buyers. Guess they’ve just lost their corporate minds.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
At the risk of sounding like a traditional red-blooded male, I preferred the shapely women.
somehistory says
James, I rather think most real men do. Perhaps *all* is a better, more accurate, word than “most.”
tgusa says
Yeah, what James said.

She was hired to take a declining product and destroy it. She may secretly be working for an abstinence group.

tgusa says
In the above I am referring to VP of Marketing Alissa Heinerscheid, not that spokes-dude.

Gotta’ love the Bee. So much Truth in its satire.
