I didn't see one suggestion in their ad to buy beer.

And not one singe person, upon seeing the ad, would think "I'm going to support Budweiser, to thank them and show my appreciation for that moving tribute, and to encourage them to keep on sponsoring moving tributes to tragedies". The Clydesdale horses are a well-recognized logo of Budweiser, and they were visible in 53 of the 60 seconds of the film.

In most countries in the world, such as Canada, it is illegal to show anything related to beer in a commercial except the corporate logo. Billions is spent on such commercials, because, incredible as it may seem to you, the breweries know that the viewers see suggestions in the ads that they buy beer.

You mean the almost 3000 people killed by a select group of terrorists who happened to be Muslim?

The self righteousness is sickening, the painting with the WIDE brush disgusting. It makes YOU no better than THEM. It's the exact same extremist views from the other side of the mirror.

Have you not seen 9-11 remembrance and honors on Fox News? Yes?! Then you've seen a muslim company doing something in honor of 9-11.

My wife and Were both at Ground Zero, I was on the pile for a week.
I got out of the north tower. I got a call within a few days from one of the contractors with whom we do business, a Muslim born in Brooklyn of Egyptian parents. He wanted to make sure we were OK. We wanted to make sure he was OK in view of how Muslims were being treated in some places in the following days.

Perhaps that's not bestowing honor in the way that you are looking for, but we did it this way: People who knew one another as individuals did not see the others as bearing the characteristics of some "group".

Taking people as individuals was the only way to survive then and it's the only way to survive now. It's a little harder than just sweeping "THEM" into a big pile and shoving them out the door. It involves risk, but at least you know you aren't going to sell your soul to the god of fear in the process.

Isn't the whole point of an ad is to get you to buy something????? They call it a commercial for a reason, it's commercialism, look up the definition of commercialism.

Glad that InBev (the foreign owner of Budweiser) is so patriotic.

Go microbrews!!!! Support your local AMERICAN brewers.

This ad shows how easy it is to manipulate people. That's why you have candiates making ads waving guns, holding the bible, and waving the flag, and that's enough to get elected, no need to know anything more about the candidate, except if he is gay or not.
