If anyone is looking for a marketing job, it is pretty safe to assume that InBev will be looking for some new marketing professionals soon.

Bud Light apologizes for 'removing no' label

As much grief as I've given Bud Light, I really didn't see what was wrong with thus until it was explained to me. I get it, but I think it's pretty obvious that its not what its going for.

Not disagreeing, I just think that someone will probably lose their job over this mistake.

That being said, a marketers job is to invoke specific reaction. When you miss the mark this bad, this potentially offensive, there is a massive failure in structure. This is one of the biggest businesses in the world. It's not like one person made the mistake alone. It's shocking that they have a culture that broken that not one person had enough clought to see how bad of an idea this was.

I'm not disagreeing that someone should probably lose their job over the potential for jokes alone. I just think anyone who is "outraged" over this needs to find a hobby.

Yeah. Definitely not the tragedy people will make of it. It will be front page news though.

Meanwhile... Almost 300 women were saved from captivity in Africa today. That news won't even trend on Twitter.

Unless you are someone or are very close to someone who has been raped. Speaking as someone who has had a loved one go thru that....."outrage" is 100% justified.
