Eenie - Meenie- Minee - Moe... Boulevard Beer offends with racist ad....
Edited on Thu Jul-13-06 10:41 PM by givemebackmycountry
I love their beer too.
But, how stupid can they be?



I remember saying this (in it's entirety) when I was 6 and playing on the streets of New York City.
Hey, it was 1961.
What the hell did I know.
The rhyme of course has changed along with the times.
I still think it's offensive.

I picked this up from a local blog in Kansas City.
(And there are many, you should check them out)
This one is Tony's Kansas City.
I don't know where he is going with this.
He seems to dismiss it as just another attempt to make something out of nothing.
We do a lot of that here in Kansas City.
We also do a lot of something, and it winds up being a lot of nothing.

Here is the ugly truth from the ever vigilant Kansas City Star.
Our version of FOX news in print.

It amazes me how some people can be so blind to the FUCKING OBVIOUS!

Now, I have to stop buying SOMETHING ELSE that I love.

You just can't win sometimes.
