The Beer debate: Miller v Bud.

This debate is rather moot in our beloved RSA as Budweiser is not exactly easy to come by and we have more prominent local beers to choose from, besides it is not one a rockstar of any intellectual demeanor or profuse free time is interested enough to delve into. So if you thought this was going to be a well-structured coherent argument purporting both sides of a beer debate you are misguided. [however if such debate does tickle your thirst try ‘allicareaboutisbeer.blogspot.com’ or another site of less interesting topics like our own]

Instead I have found an interesting little story on a news site that is worth posting. As stated we are not a site that looks to spend oodles of free time sustaining such trivial topic as which beer is better nor are we one of those sites that spends time cutting and pasting stories from current American news sites and pawning them off as our own. [we don’t do that cause (a) it’s a flooded market (b) we don’t have the patience and (c) the arduous task of referencing other peoples stuff is such a hassle that we prefer to Stephan Glass it and hope we don’t get caught]

Fuck I digress. Anyway this is the story:

-------------------------------------Your company needs YOU!

“The battle of the beers took a new twist in Racine this week when a Miller beer distributor fired an employee whose picture was in the paper. He was drinking a Bud Light.”

“In Racine at the Mardi Crawl on Main Street, a newspaper photographer asked a group of revelers to pose for a picture. The only problem was that a man holding a Bud Light worked for a Miller distributor.”

The poor dude said, "I was just having a good time."

I think it’s hilarious it would create a pretty interesting legal debate up on Constitutional Hill if you had the free time and legal resources. His boss didn’t state that he was fired because of the photograph but that he was ‘merely surplus to requirements’! This is speculation but I reckon he was axed cause of what he was wearing and that he was at a Mardi Gras festival. I think my argument is as compelling as the one to drink Bud light…
