"could be in theory?" So in other words, being insensitive to someone's religious beliefs is okay because it's a lesser issue? Sorry but I completely disagree with that. Not sure if you've heard of what's going on in the Middle East with Christians being executed, but if you are perfectly willing to dismiss that as being no biggie than you need to do a little more research or go to sensitivity school yourself.
Regardless, you can't cry fairness and justice and sensitivity for one group while dismissing another group entirely as that's simple prejudice. or hypocritical or both. You're either fair to all, or you're not.
More importantly you're acting under the fallacy that somehow Bud Light purposefully decided to offend a particular group of people with one headline as part of their overall campaign which I've already demonstrated is semantically not doing what is being proposed by Buzzfeed.
Overreaction is at an all time high but if we're seriously looking at Buzzfeed as being an arbiter of truth or moral compass, we need to reorient ourselves. In my opinion this is a made-up tempest in a teapot designed for views and nothing more than that. And it's worked amazingly well for Buzzfeed.
This campaign has been running for a while and no one questioned its purpose until now. This is a bullshit story cooked up to push the right buttons and nothing more than that. It's the old "when did you stop beating your wife," tactic. Bud Light has to be on the defensive because of some ginned up story by a sleazy media outlet. We should take this for what it is and nothing more.
Bud Light wants to sell beer. Not offend people. The bigger the corporation the more litigious they are, anyway. But hey, Bud Light's apologized, so everyone can take their victory lap.
In the meantime Christians are still being beheaded. Let me know when Buzzfeed writes about that and then I'll be impressed.
Considering the CEO of NPR makes over $658,000 a year and most performer contracts are agreeing to license their music for little or next to nothing on public radio, I would think that they don't see much irony, no.
