This Bud's Not Necessarily For You!


Budweiser has withdrawn a slogan on cans of Bud Light after some say it promotes rape culture. The Bud Light slogan read, "The perfect beer for removing ‘no’ from your vocabulary for the night." A company official told The New York Times it would be pulled from production. Budweiser said the language on the label was one of more than 140 “scroll messages” that were part of the “Up for  Whatever” marketing campaign that the company started two years ago. “It’s clear that this message missed the mark, and we regret it,” Alexander Lambrecht, vice president for the Bud Light brand at Anheuser-Busch, said in a statement. “We would never condone disrespectful or irresponsible behavior.”
