Hmm. Michigan fats maybe easier to shed than the East Coast variety.
Whatever. On to the Harvey Dent School of Business Theory:
Good business idea: deliver broadband through an electric socket. Broadband that doesn't come from a cable company or a telecom? Frigging brilliant.
Plunker business idea: Anheuser-Busch's decision to label Molson and other competitor companies as--gasp--"owned by foreigners."
Great Googly Moogly: that's it. That's the only thing holding the domestic mass produced beer market steady in an era of microbrew growth. It's only through "Great Googly Moogly" and "Wassup" and whatever commercial dreck Coors Light is subjecting us to these days that the Duffman market has managed to hold on to is flat-growth majority position for so long.
Meanwhile, the market for tiny all-malt craft beers has been growing since before you. These elitist Uter beers are where the present and the future of the market is. In yuppie circles--that is to say, where the big money is--the macrobreweries are receding faster than Penny Marshall's inflated glove in Shotz brewery.
And now Busch is going out of its way advertise that its competitors are foreign-made? Honestly, who would have thought that the company that created Tequiza would be so tone deaf about its marketing?
