i don't think no black man nor white man nor yellow man would like to be on the same beer can as bon jovi....

what these moaners dont think about is 'does it really matter' - I mean, what sort of value or respect will be generated by having a little fucking picture on the side of a beer can for a coupla months, like, if they put ALL black artists on there the same people would probably be saying "omg they are targetting black people in this vicious campaign, they are clearly aiming the product at black people and encouraging alcoholism which is already rife in black ghetto areas"
A beer promotion is simply not important, these people have too much time on their hands.

i know it's not important, but that shit just gets me crazy. I'm more perplexed than anything else.
- rasko40
if 'innocent' then yes, it is a huge and ridiculous oversight.

agree with rasko.
"We just went with the people that we thought were appropriate," he said. "We went through (the covers) and said these people we don't think are appropriate, or wouldn't appeal to Miller drinkers."says it all miller drinkers are a bunch of no-marks. its going to take more than there beercan to get them to go listen to some Nile Rogers licks
miller is piss.

asian's in rock? seriously?
naw *shakes head*
(ditto natives)
Black people were instrumental in that music. But it was Elvis who became "The King". Easier for a racist society to accept, and so only normal that some fuck-wits at Miller think Elvis was the birth of rock. Without doing an ounce of research. It wasn't intentional, but it just goes to show. I don't think people are just looking for a reason to moan, but it is kinda interesting... the stupidity of marketing people at miller.
Anyway, their beer tastes like piss,
As does Budweiser,
As does all American Beer ;)
