'Bud Pong' pulled; brewer shocked beer used in game

Now THIS is more shocking than Fitzmas

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Anheuser-Busch (BUD) will discontinue a national promotion called "Bud Pong," a drinking game the company says is supposed to be played with water.

However, participants in the game — played with a ping pong ball and plastic cups — often were drinking beer as they lost points, according to a front-page story Sunday in The New York Times.

"It has come to our attention that despite our explicit guidelines, there may have been instances where this promotion was not carried out in the manner it was intended," Anheuser-Busch spokeswoman Francine Katz said in a statement Tuesday.

Katz says the promotion was meant to provide a fun activity at bars.


Can you believe that? People actually drink beer in a bar instead of water. The ghost of Fitzmas past must be at work.

strip darts or strip 8 ball at a gay bar. In the summer. Belts, cellphones, sunglasses and accessories don't count as clothing items.

I had to rethink the whole freeballing thing several times until I got better at air hockey, and believe me you don't want to bend over a pool table for a long shot in the buff if you haven't cleared the table by your eighth shot.
