Mad enough and not gonna take it anymore, Budweiser, in early November, complained to the nets about a recent Miller Brewing taste test-based ad campaign claiming it “disparaged” the Budweiser brand. CBS and NBC have agreed to pull the campaign.

By using these shady practices, SABMiller is admitting its products can’t stand up to fair comparisons.” And off he struts, back to class, chest puffed out, bully’s trophy girlfriend on his arm.
