There were supposed to be shirts with all proceeds going to Carson. Maybe you didnt see all the constant promotions on FB and Twitter etc from their pages. All Gone.
Time to cut out our Busch Light love affair
- Thread starter Knownothing
- Start date
I think that the DMR is finding out what happens when Cyclone and Hawkeye fans actually agree and unite on a matter.
It really is just modern day, Puritan witch burning. But at least they got a sham trial.
Not done for any real reason, other than people can elevate themselves through the destruction of somebody else, and using a moral panic to achieve it.

pretty much going to echo most of the comments here. super disappointed in DMR and Busch Beer. Looks like I'll be drinking through my current supply of Busch and switching over to Coors Light. Unless, of course, Busch sees their error and reverses course on this ridiculousness
A-Busch could have ignored the Reg story and supported him; IMO the majority blame rests with the beer folks.
There's no doubt that many, many people who "hate" outrage culture also openly participate in it. Only way to beat down one riot is with another riot.
This is where AB needs to respond. This is where people should pressure them. They were an advertiser on the show Carson was quoting. They have paid way more money to the show responsible for the "racist content" then they are going to give to the children's hospital.
Everyone wants to pretend the red pill was the right way to go, but it's actually the blue pill 10/10 times. Ignorance is bliss.
meh, the beer company was heading off even more sensationalist journalism that was bound to end up in a headline like, something like, "beer company puts racist on can"
unfortunately, we have become a headline society
Yet now we see, via Sonya at WHO-TV, that A-B advertised on the racist Tosh.0 program during this time? Wow...
I know someone today that contacted Karl Chevrolet who had a full page ad today and voiced that he hopes they pull their advertising from the DMR. I doubt that happens but hey it doesn't hurt to let your voice be heard I guess.
I wouldn't even say Tosh.0 is racist...it's more of an "offending all parties" kind of show.
Yes, I should have put "racist" in quotes, as in apparently the label A-B is placing on Carson King.
Anyone know who Gennesso Brewing company out of Illinois is? They Just decided to make Iowa Legend bottles with Carson and donate a dollar for every can to the Childrens hospital until the batch is sold out. Figured some smart beer company would do it.
