Bud Lite Puts Tongue in Cheek

Ever walk into a store and buy something you’d rather no one see you buy? And then your prom date shows up? And the store clerk has to shout to the other store clerk at the top of her lungs about what you’re buying? And then some freak exacerbates the issue? And then the store gets held up? And then you’re on the news?

Thank God for the internet no one is at risk of going through this scenario any more. Which begs the question. What was Bud Light thinking when they made this ad? Are these things still sold in convenience stores? And why would anyone risk embarrassment when they can obtain an endless supply of the stuff in the privacy of their own home?
