Budweiser super bowl ad... WOW.

Each year Super Bowl ads offer a snapshot of what's going on in the culture.

But this year's Budweiser ad released Tuesday featuring an immigrant's travel to the U.S. became suddenly more topical than Anheuser-Busch executives were probably expecting, released days after President Donald Trump's executive order Friday temporarily banning refugees and nearly all citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries.

Some will love it, some will hate it. Odds are there will be plenty of free air time on the cable shows discussing it.

Had some right wing site (I hadn't heard of the site before this) claiming that it was taking a swipe at Trump supporters, and advising them to boycott Budweiser.

Poor little snowflakes need a safe space to drink their beer away from bullying beer brewers.

And we'll have to re-write some history books to expunge any similar stories that might offend them.

I guess this is Alternative Political Correctness.

Considering how ugly our country has been to every immigrant group not resembling the ancestry of our founding fathers.

How can anyone consider this anti-Trump? It's just celebrating the success of an immigrant.
