Let’s see if Sydney Sweeney’s jeans can turn Bud Light around:

Bud Light has been running dmg ctrl for a while. They had Shane Gillis, Post Malone and Peyton Manning do a commercial back around the Super Bowl featuring sitcom levels of masculinity cheesiness: https://youtube.com/shorts/LltFApeXqeo?si=MqbzYTQzpj0H-KxD
This is a horrible ad that has “Reddit” written all over it. The share price of the parent company still has not recovered, by the way. Perhaps not even Sydney Sweeney will get it to rise. Amusingly, I just checked Google, my favorite search engine, to see what sources of information it recommends. It is incredible that if you search for “Anheuser Busch stock” you do not get the stock chart. They do not even suppress Tesla, but they do not want to let chuds know that this company is still doing poorly.
Re: Sweeney. The left’s meltdown over a grade-school pun is amusing. These people simultaneously gloat that Darwin killed God and seethe because basic biology refutes their various lunacies (men = women, race is a social construct, people are blank slates, etc.)

Imagine being a supposedly grown person with no better use for your life than frantically playing whack-a-mole with these exponentially increasing glitches in the Matrix. Like a kid trying to sweep the thousand fragments of the vase he just broke under the rug so mommy and daddy won’t find out.
Aaron,
Starting in October 12, 2025 the European Union will starting using a new travel system on non European Citizens called Entry/Exit System (EES). And in the last quarter of 2026 the European Union will also implement a new system called European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS). These two new system is somehow designed to combat illegal immigration and control the borders in the name of safety, and that’s the story the political elites have been feeding us for years… safety. Just like the vaccines when they were soo concerned about our health.
I have no doubt that all these doctors and engineers will be exempt from this program.
