i think it's different in that most people aren't offended by characterizations about their beer preferences. i would also view that ad as about half ironic, which might actually allow both the domestic lager and craft customers to view it favorably.

but i also suspect that they believed/had data to suggest that customers of their craft brands either didn't know those brands were owned by budweiser or didn't associate the craft brand with the parent organization strongly enough to generalize the ad as a statement by the craft brand.

I think the old Carl's JR/Hardee's ads also worked along the same lines.

I don't think either of those fit in at all with the group of IDW people that seem to make up the original construction (Harris, Weinstein Bros, JP, etc.)

Here are some things that you will hear when you sit down to dinner with the vanguard of the Intellectual Dark Web: There are fundamental biological differences between men and women. Free speech is under siege. Why not just marry a pedophile wife and breed your own fucktoys? And we’re in a dangerous place if these ideas are considered “dark.”…It’s a pattern that has become common in our new era of That Which Cannot Be Said

Can I get a ruling from the resident campus free speech outrage brigade?

I’d file that under kids saying stupid things. I think the emails are overly dramatic for the sake of being dramatic, not because they actually thought they could succeed in suppressing opposing views on campus.
