A new label on some bottles of Bud Light, one of the brands owned by the beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev, is falling flat among women, a demographic group the industry has been desperately courting in hopes of jump-starting flagging sales of suds.

In a continuation of its “Up for Whatever” campaign, a wide blue band low on the label says, “The perfect beer for removing ‘no’ from your vocabulary for the night.”

Protests quickly erupted in social media, criticizing what was perceived as perhaps not the best marketing language in the midst of public outcry over date rape on college campuses.

“As a woman, as a mother of a girl and a boy, I find this message very disturbing and dangerous,” someone using the name Danielle Sawada posted on Bud Light’s Facebook page. “I have been a Bud Light drinker for quite a while, but until this campaign ends, you do not have my dollars.”

Some people are just always on the look out for something to be offended about.

Social media will be the death of society as we know it.

I'm sure Bud wasn't alluding to rape, but this would certainly be a nice side effect for rapey dudes.

Nah, that would be a PBR with a roofie in it. Works like a charm, and the cheapness of the beer makes up for the price of the pill.

I gotta side with the SJWs here. Drinking and removing no from your vocabulary? There's a pretty obvious rapey vibe to that. Definitely one of the first connections my mind makes.

As an occupant of this planet, your post really insults me. This planet goes through enough with all of the pollution and racism and college rapes.

i demand that you remove this post!

"Hey, girl, let me get in them panties."

"No!"

"No? Well, here, drink this Bud Light. That outta get the no out of this equation."

--

"No+Bud Light = Yes. Yes+Bud Light=Anal"

--

"Guys, give her a Bud Light. And be ready to get up for anything."
