So I got a RW email with a fake story. Here it is along with my newer version
Original I got today from cousin:


Thought you'd like to know what happened in a town north of Bakersfield California. After you finish reading this, please forward this story on to others so that our nation and around the world will know about those who laughed when they found out about the tragic events in New York, PA and the Pentagon.


September 11th, a Budweiser employee was making a delivery to a convenience store in a town called McFarland. He knew of the tragedy that had occurred in New York.He entered the business to find two Arabs whooping and hollering and really cheering it up. It was obvious they were elated with what had happened earlier. The Budweiser employee went to his truck, called his boss and told him of the very upsetting event. He didn't feel he could be in that store with those horrible people. His boss told him, "Do you think you could go in there long enough to pull every Budweiser product and item our beverage company sells there? We'll never deliver to them again."

The employee walked in, proceeded to pull every single product his beverage company provided and left with an incredible grin on his face. He told them never to bother and call for a delivery again.

Budweiser happens to be the beer of choice for that community. Just letting you all know how Kern County handles this situation!!
At last report, the store was closed indefinitely. Good old American Passive-Aggressive Butt-Whoopin'!]

Pass this along. America needs to know that we're all working together.

If you can read this.

Thank a teacher...

If you are reading it in English....

THANK A SOLDIER!!!

Last week, a Budweiser employee was making a delivery to a convenience store in a town called McFarland. When he went in to the store the rw fundies were watching Glenn Beck and cheering him on. He also noticed a radio nearby with a list above it showing what stations Rush and Hannity were on. The Budweiser employee went to his truck, called his boss and told him of the very upsetting event and what he had saw. He didn't feel he could be in that store with those horrible people. His boss told him, "Do you think you could go in there long enough to pull every Budweiser product and item our beverage company sells there? We'll never deliver to them again."

3. Ads running over a year now: Miller High Life stripped from stores/bars and carted away
Due to elitist pricing. In one of the ads, the $10 burger triggers the repo job on the beer.
