It's not just Bud Light: 13 more brands partnered with Dylan MulvaneyFrom makeup to toothpaste As you've unquestionably heard by now, Bud Light and parent company Anheuser-Busch have been in a bit of hot water lately. The massive, multi-billion dollar conglomerate made waves this month when it announced a working partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, that included a ceremonial can emblazoned with the activist's face. It was not particularly well received. Anheuser-Busch has reportedly suffered a $5-$6 billion market value loss to this date. Despite that fervent backlash, Mulvaney remains in as much demand as ever, as evidenced by the other massive, multi-billion companies that are lining up to associate with the activist. A list of Mulvaney's brand partnerships was collected by Newsweek and it's a veritable who's who of relatively newer major brands. Mulvaney's corporate partnerships largely stay in the cosmetics and fashion world (Kate Spade, Ulta Beauty both also work with Mulvaney), but also includes some other brands such as KIND Snacks and KitchenAid equipment. In total, there are 13 brands currently helping turn Mulvaney into a social media superstar: Aritzia CeraVe Crest Haus Labs Instacart K18 Hair Kate Spade KIND Snacks KitchenAid Ole Henriksen Rent the Runway Ulta Beauty Nike Anheuser-Busch While Anheuser-Busch has most certainly felt the fiscal and cultural backlash for working with Mulvaney, it ultimately hasn't deterred the beer manufacturer. History suggests that neither will the dozen other (and growing) brands that want to work with Mulvaney be deterred. Note: If you look at the article, there are 5 brief videos, of the first 5 brands in this list, that show advertising that includes Dylan Mulvaney with their product. I heard/saw no foul language or nudity, but personally find this degradation of our society to be repulsive (yes, if I lived in Canada, I could probably be arrested and fined for that comment. ) www.wnd.com/2023/04/not-just-bud-light-13-major-brands-also-partnered-transgender-dylan-mulvaney/?ff_source=Email&ff_medium=wnd-breaking&ff_campaign=breaking&ff_content=breaking

All that I can say about this corporate obsession to normalize LGBT perversion and push it on everyone is:

Maybelline sees boycott over partnership with Dylan MulvaneyMaybelline is the latest company facing boycotts over its partnership with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The backlash has stemmed from a TikTok that Mulvaney, 26, posted showing off the cosmetic line while celebrating her 365th day of publicly identifying as a woman. “Getting glam for my Day 365 show with @maybelline #maybelline partner,” Mulvaney wrote in a video that has amassed nearly 200,000 likes. The promotional post spurred protests against Maybelline, similar to the wave of boycotts against Anheuser-Busch’s Bud Light for featuring the transgender influencer in an ad on social media. Many have taken to social media to blast Maybelline for partnering with Mulvaney, calling on others to also stop purchasing products from the makeup company. nypost.com/2023/04/26/maybelline-sees-boycott-over-partnership-with-dylan-mulvaney/

At the end of the Maybelline article was this statement, re:Anheuser-Busch partnering up with Mulvaney -- Those 2 clearly need a loonnngggg vacation from their duties as marketing execs. (like, as long as finding new careers, something other than working in marketing, and lasting until they're fully retired). Any guesses as to how long it will be until Dylan Mulvaney fades into the past? The LGBTQ+ stuff isn't going to go away, I don't think (tho' I wish it would), but Mulvaney will only be the gem-of-the-day for a short time. Human attention spans aren't all that long.

The LGBTQ+ stuff isn't going to go away, I don't think (tho' I wish it would), but Mulvaney will only be the gem-of-the-day for a short time. Human attention spans aren't all that long. Any time is too long. It just blows my mind how all of these big companies (as well as many government agencies) keep bending over backwards to pander to this perversion when time after time it is clear that the vast majority of the population is against it. The media would like to have us all believe that at least half or more of the people are Trans/non binary, but realistically it cant be more than 1 or 2% at most (and very likely far less). The fact that the real numbers are so low is likely why the powers that be are so determined to brainwash the youngest generation into believing that they are trans/lgbt/ etc. OK. Getting of of my soapbox now.

I despise the www.nytimes.com/ because I can't read there without paying them money. Ha! That's not happening. edited to add: I was going to look at the article because I thought I might find the percentage of Oklahomans who are thought to be misidentifying themselves. ... basically, I doubt more than 0.03% are truly born in the body of the 'wrong' gender. We had an A-1, topnotch neurosurgeon teaching the class on the development of the brain, from conception to death, when I was in grad school. He's the one who told us there is an 0.03% of babies, in the womb, who suffer a brain injury early on - and they are the ones who are truly born mis-gendered. I believe him - he had the training, education, and experience to share a figure like that.

That's strange, last evening the article opened just fine for me, and I do not have a paid subscription to the NY Times; but now this morning it is being blocked by a pay wall popup when I tried to go back to it. Sorry about that. I try not to post links to sites that aren't free.

And then there was this: Dylan Mulvaney Calls for Reporters to be Thrown in Jail for Calling him a ManDylan Mulvaney, the man who claims to be a woman and has partnered with several women’s brands as an online marketer, is calling for reporters who refer to him in “he pronouns” to be thrown in jail for running afoul of transgender ideology. Mulvaney made his call to imprison journalists in a video, bemoaning reporters’ usage of “he pronouns” when referring to Mulvaney, a man who has partnered with companies like Bud Light and Nike, and even visited Joe Biden at the White House, as a result of his “transition” into “girlhood.” Mulvaney has often been accused of pedophilia, as many of the online videos that brought him his stardom involve him dressing and acting like a young girl. Despite his calls for reporters to be thrown in jail, Dylan Mulvaney was rather non-responsive when recently pressed for his opinion on the rapes of female inmates by the “transgender” men they’re being housed with, in the United States. nationalfile.com/dylan-mulvaney-calls-for-reporters-to-be-thrown-in-jail-for-calling-him-a-man/And all of these company execs can't understand why most normal people find Mulvaney objectionable.

Bud Light is hoping free cases of beer will smooth over any tensions with its sellers after Dylan Mulvaney backlashThe company behind Bud Light is hoping some free beer will help smooth over any tensions with its distributors, some of whom told The Wall Street Journal they've faced backlash and sagging sales after the brand's promotion featured a transgender influencer. Anheuser-Busch, the company that owns Bud Light, is gifting a case of Bud Light to all employees who work with the company's wholesale distributors, the Journal reported. The company has also promised new ads are on the way that the beermaker will increase marketing spending on Bud Light to alleviate any impacts to sales, distributors told the Journal. These changes follow a month-long controversy that led to a reported dip in sales for the beer brand. On April 1, transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney posted a video on Instagram that featured Bud Light cans designed with a picture of her face. Backlash among some of its customers followed, including a conservative-led boycott toward the brand. Later, the Journal reported that Bud Light Sales dropped by 17% by mid-April, per data created by Bump Williams Consulting and analyzed by Nielsen. In comparison, Bud Light's competitors, including Coors Light and Miller Light, saw sales jump by nearly 18%, per the same data analyzed by Nielsen. www.yahoo.com/news/bud-light-hoping-free-cases-195402011.html

I hope people just don't roll over for free beer. Still makes me laugh to think about -- "let's just throw cases of beer at 'em, that'll solve the problem! Yeh, that's the ticket!!"

Bwahahahahahaha I luv it! You ought to write up your idea for the "chunk-yer-beer!" game show and find some company to submit it to. Never know what could happen! edited to add: Don't ask me where I pulled the word "chunk" from; it's just what came out of my mind & onto the screen. I was thinking, "chunk yer junk!". Rhyming, y'know, just my mind at work.

Former Anheuser-Busch marketing genius destroys woke beer companyAnheuser-Busch executives looking for what went wrong as their beer goes down the drain need go no farther than the nearest mirror, according to a former brewery giant executive. "Effectively, it took us 20 years to take Bud Light beer to the No. 1 beer in the country, and it took them one week to dismantle it," Robert Lachky, a former chief creative officer at Anheuser-Busch said, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Lachky who was booted when InBev bought the company in 2009 after having created award-winning ad campaigns, said the damage from the company’s dalliance with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney was “self-inflicted.” “It’s a complete lack of corporate oversight, and it’s been that way since (InBev) took the company over,” he said. He said the lords of marketing don't understand the people who drink Anheuser-Busch's beer, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. ”None of these marketing folks has ever been to a NASCAR race, none has been to a football game or a rodeo,” he said. “That’s insanity. That’s marketing incompetence.” www.wnd.com/2023/05/former-anheuser-busch-marketing-genius-destroys-woke-beer-company-20-years-work-drain/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=wnd-brief&utm_campaign=dailypm&utm_content=brief&ats_es=%5B-MD5-%5D

I wasn't a beer drinker before, but even if I was, their recent advertising campaigns would not have drawn me toward their brand.
