Beer Ads Targeting Kids
Anheuser-Busch is under fire from parents groups, who claim that Budweiser TV commercials featuring animated frogs, lizards and other animals are specifically designed to appeal to children. What do you think about alcohol companies marketing to minors?
Eric Hoak,
Project Coordinator
"The cartoon beer frogs clearly target children. Budweiser should return to its 'Bring Me Another Bud, Bitch' campaign, which was aimed at adults."
Colleen Raydon,
Systems Analyst
"Anheuser-Busch did nothing wrong. They're just following that new law requiring all commercials to feature talking animals."
Lauryn Oldis,
Reference Librarian
"Kids are definitely influenced by these things. My 10-year-old daughter is a big Snoopy fan, and she won't stop taking out MetLife insurance policies."
Alan Cimoli,
Roofer
"I don't approve of that commercial where Barney tricks Fred out of his Olde English 800 by dressing as a space alien."
Matthew Kravitz,
Opthamologist
"Hey, we've all had one too many Buds at some point and started targeting minors."

"Man, no matter how many times those frogs say 'Bud,' 'Weis,' 'Er,' it just keeps getting funnier and funnier."
