Itty Bitty Update: Spykes

Itty Bitty Update: Spykes

This Anheuser-Busch product is more than ever all over the news.  Hopefully these the news programs and sources that children ignore.  ABC News picked up on it, link to that story here [1].  Keith Olbermann [2], on his nightly MSNBC news program Countdown [3], featured a story on the product, how it is clearly geared toward adolescents.  The story [4]was also covered on NBC's wildly successful Today show.

Prom season is just around the corner.  Won't parents --and motorists all over-- feel comfortable and secure knowing that Anheuser-Busch is promoting an aclohol and caffeinne inducement product, smal enough to stash into a pocketbook or a backpack, to give their kids and fellow motorists a jolt and a buzz?  Poetic justice might be one of those kids smashing into a Budweiser/Anheuser-Busch Clydesdale [5].

With each passing day the Anheuser-Busch product gets skewered in yet another newpaper, tv or network news program, or via word of mouth.  Google News [6] has a dozen hits as of this morning.  Perhaps all this bad press will prompt Anheuser-Busch to remove this insidious product from the marketplace.
