Customers: Did you create this commercial?
Miller: Uh.... No (sweats profusely)
Customers: Pretty sure you did, what's this link in this ad?
Miller: What link? (deletes all traces of ad links)

I want these incompetent asshole's jobs. Clearly, it's easy to be a dumb as a box of indoctrinated rocks; out of touch with society and your brand/product diversity hire. I think I can pretend. I think.Customers: Did you create this commercial?

The seltzer stuff (over ice) is a phenomenal choice when sitting on the beach all day. Just saying.

Uh.........Miller Lite customers enjoy gulping down cans of shit.
Unless they plan on destroying their shit recipe and starting over I don't understand the message here.

What do Miller Lite and having sex in a canoe have in common???
They are both fucking close to water...
I wish I drank this shit so I could boycott it for this nonsense hate marketing. It's like the ad is genuinely reminding everyone about better times.
This must be where the fired Marketing Executive at Bud Lite ended up.

Facts. Stick to advertising to women White Claws, Rose wine, Moscato and Mimosas.
It's okay that these non-harmful stereotypes and tropes are targeted in advertisement. Because they're true.

The executive has been listed on "40 under 40" lists and praised by company higher-ups for her innovative strategies.

If that's not an established and widely accepted and understood term, it needs to be. Hate Marketing - When rather than welcoming new customers and growing your brand through being genuinely inclusive, you reject and insult your existing customers while trying to win favor with potential customers.

Imagine writing that essay in the OP about a beer advert. What a lesson in self-aggrandizement.

Ok, so the part to make a men spring to action is “women were the first beer brewers”?
They realise they were born thanks to a woman? Like, everybody on Earth?

When progressive people adapt the worst aspects of organized religion. That's how I've come to view "woke" when used in a pejorative sense. Judgement, intolerance for opposing thought, desire to force your worldview on others, wishing those who don't agree with your worldview to be silenced, have their livelihood threatened, or otherwise be forced into compliance. When it gets really aggressive, that's generally when people start referring to it as cancel culture.
However, you'll notice that nowhere in my entire first post did I ever use the word "woke." It's a divisive pejorative that just leads to people arguing about what qualifies as "woke." It's needless and pointless, and just creates debates that are reduced into semantics.
I'd much rather argue that this is a company lecturing their customers and shaming them for enjoying how the company used to advertise their product. That's a much more solid foundation to me than throwing around a label that doesn't have any agreed upon definition.

Someone senior at Miller had to green light this.
Someone who knows who Miller Lite’s main consumer base is.

So they start by lying about women being the ones brewing beer in ancient times.
The reality is that agricultural activities were labor intensive, before industrialization. Requiring a lot of work from both women and men.
And this includes the production of beverages, like wine and beer.
It's not just the planting and harvesting. It's also the tool making, the barrel making, the processing of grapes, wheat or barley.
This was a comunal work, that required the work of man, woman and even children.
To pretend this was just the work of women, it's disingenuous and and outright lie.

The video's entire premise is very flawed as it takes creative liberties with historic facts to create some weird false narrative that women started brewing beer and we should be thankful to women for basically creating beer. At least that is the vibe I'm getting.
Unfortunately, she literally starts by saying "women were among the first to brew beer" which just sweeps the legs from underneath the entire rest of the video.
Women were "among" everything regarding pretty much any activity. Do they think women sat at home reading Vogue coming up with armchair activism 2000 years ago? Fuck no, they were working their ass off just like everyone did back then because everyone was dirt poor, owned basically nothing and if they didn't work they had no food.
I legit don't understand what Miller is trying to accomplish here. I mean, what is their end game here? Or are they really only pandering and really just that retarded?

This actually came out before the bud light thing.
But yeah the whole “ you can’t be beautiful and strong “ is some dumb shit.
Also they are basically scolding you for something They did.

Beautiful women set an unrealistic and frankly unhealthy standard, and are a product of patriarcal society we should aim to abolish.
Anyway do these dingbats watch the bud light fiasco and collectively said "Hold my (shitty) beer" ?
What is happening in the head those marketing morons so they always choose the worst option ??

It was trying to make their chief audience feel bad about who they are. Re-read this sentence.
Imagine a similar situation:
Chevrolet commercial for their new whatever-that-6-litres-monstrosity is: Oy, cowboy bitch! You might not know, but you be killing the planet driving our cars dawg. So now you are getting this beta 1.4 litres EV like they have in Europe with their small weenies. #smallisthenewgreen

It's just another carefully judged marketing campaign. They want to make you all angry because guess what: YOU'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT A MILLER LITE AD. You've all been hoodwinked.
