On Tuesday, Budweiser released its Super Bowl ad online. The 60-second commercial follows Anheuser-Busch co-founder Adolphus Busch's journey to the US in the mid-1800s, highlighting Busch's struggles and the prejudice the German immigrant encountered.

"You're not wanted here, go back home!" one American yells at Busch as he arrives in New Orleans.

Budweiser has said the commercial was not intended to be a political statement. However, many people aren't buying it after it aired at the Super Bowl.

"I drank your product for 30 years and I will no longer drink it you liberal s--- heads," reads one such comment on Budweiser's Facebook page.

While Budweiser's ad was in the works long before Annoying Orange was inaugurated, some saw the timing of the commercial's release as a jab at the president's executive order.

More than 14 million people have watched Budweiser's ad online, fueling the #BoycottBudweiser and #BoycottBud hashtags.

As is often the case with threats of boycott, many people are promising to buy more Budweiser to make up for those who are protesting.

Thought this was funny, though I'm wondering why anybody would really want a Budweiser.

Lol and people were blaming liberals for being whiny babies.

[Poliwhirl]

you'd think people would be angrier about the one that was blatantly anti-wall

The thing people fail to realize is that both sides of the spectrum equally get triggered over different things.  The left side is really violent right now.  But who's to say that the right side isn't violent?

Boycotting is not as violent as rioting and setting stuff on fire

No of course, absolutely. Extremes of both sides are whiny children or violent extremist cunts.

that's a funny way to spell piss

[Trogtor]

i thought the Google ad where they showed the front oh a house with the obvious gay flag "totally not there to make a statement" was more stupid

[-Fate-]

well every boycott Annoying Orange supporters have done so far has successfully forgeted stocks of X company.

maybe it's because people are watching the Super Bowl to escape from the stress of the political atmosphere as sharp as a knife in this country and instead of relief you get bombarded with pro-immigration, pro-LGBTQWERTY, pro-BLM, pro-all this and that

"shut your loving faces, I just want to watch some football without you guys hanging over my head all the time"

and don't act like this wouldn't be top headlines of all the major publications if the commercial were the immigrant's family coming over and they were under tough times and the wife was pregnant but they couldn't support the baby so the seriously considered aborting it but instead they went the pro-life route and ugggggggggggggggggghhh *fart noises* you get the idea, it would be just as annoying and preachy as this stuff is
