Anheuser-Busch, known for beer commercials that are often better than their beers, announced yesterday that they plans to drop risqué ads from their promotional campaigns.<br />
<br />
Of course, the flaming flatulence of horses and the crotch-biting antics of canines are only partially to blame for the recent "decency" pressure in the media from advocates. Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl breast-baring incident was clearly the catalyst to a surge of indecency public-exposures. Suddenly Howard Stern is being fined, Bono is a Nobel potty-mouth and we have lost the Victoria’s Secret Lingerie Fashion Show.<br />
<br />
No doubt, with no other campaigns to fall back on, Anheuser-Busch will bring back the Bud Bowl next year. Blame that on Janet Jackson too.<br />
<br />
Too bad Ms. Jackson (I’m nasty) can’t do something about ads for feminine napkins–personally I think those are indecent. But at least we will still have monkey ads, unless monkeys are deemed indecent… like when they don’t have pants or diapers on.
