Actually just recently it's become a trend among conservatives that both wind and solar don't work in winter.
I'm not kidding.

It's been popping up pretty frequently and they are laughing that for whatever retarded reason these don't work when it's cold outside. Yes. I know this makes no sense. But, there are a LOT of people that give a poo poo about this.

It's less hot in Winter so the sun obviously isn't working as well, duh

Wind is, uhh, thermal pockets, or something, maybe the turbines freeze up or some dumb poo poo like that

I prefer lovely "piss" beers that cost like $1.50 a can over any pretentious micro brewed nonsense. The hops taste of every expensive beer out there is loving insufferable

If I'm drinking alcohol, its to feel a drunk buzz, so why not do it for as cheap as possible? Then I can go back to enjoying a nice sparkling water or whatever that actually tastes good.

TL;DR all beer tastes bad, you all are just elitists.

... my post was to support the point that it's ridiculous for budweiser to hype the quality of their ingredients given that nobody buys their beer for that

but you seem to have some deep frustrations, so you can let those loose. it's a safe space here.

I used to be a beer snob, only buying $7 a bottle beers and scoffing at Molson Canadians. But then I got better, and must face the tiring rants of men with waxed mustaches.

I live in one of the most northern large cities on the planet, we still get 7+ hours of sunlight during the shortest time of year.

This is the greatest super bowl ad of my lifetime, both because the crowded bar where I originally saw it fell into absolute stunned silence before erupting into cheers, and because it actually convinced people to buy a piece of poo poo requiring wheel removal and pulling body work to get to the battery

More back on topic, they had a couple commercials for Pizza Hut with a guy who looked like Abe Lincoln doing 'modern day' stuff while talking about what $5 dollars would get you, each ending with him holding up a $5 and saying something about it must be good because it has his picture on it.

Ok, fine, right? Dumb. But fine.

In the background of the commercials, all of them, the music for 'All about the Benjamin's' by P-diddy was playing. Now, I don't know if you're aware of this, but Abraham Lincoln is not Benjamin Franklin, and Benjamin Franklin appears on the $100 bill, not a 5 spot.
This drove me nuts.

Anthony Hopkins doing his Hannibal routine hand-fed a peacock. Pretty good, I laughed. Now I have to buy, like, fifty Alexas.

I don't know if this is a best to worst list or just random order, but I'm gonna leave it at that.

Nobody calls it sportsball, the cool thing to do is to call football "handegg".

Artist Andy Warhol once made a film of himself eating lunch.
Burger King changed the packaging on the burger to read 'Whopper'.

They are counting on Burger King customers to get this reference.


You may know him better as "That guy who painted a portrait of a Campbell's Tomato Soup Can".
He also made a 12 hour film of nothing but the front of the Empire State building. That's literally all the film is.

That is literally the dumbest loving thing.

I knew who it was but I didn’t know they changed the packaging. Everyone I was watching it with was just like wtf is this poo poo.

It did not make me want a whopper.

We had a Super Bowl party for the students at the school where I work. Most of my students are low-income inner-city minorities.

When this commercial came on, one of the kids shouted "Yo, how much did this dude get paid to eat a burger on TV?"

I shouted back: "Nothing, because he's dead." and I proceeded to tell them who Andy Warhol was. Had a real "teaching moment" as we say in the business.

Watching people who have spent their entire life pretending to care about and support capitalism drop the veil the moment the free market decides that triggering them with corn-free beer and reminders not to beat women is more profitable than not is the one redeeming thing to come out of the super bowl this year
