I Am A Demographic, Part 2
From Charlie Chan’s Revenge: AsianBud.com. Hrm.

From the website: “This site exists as a part of Anheuser-Busch’s continuing commitment and interest in the Asian American community.” Well, thank the good lord for that — I don’t see enough Bud Light banners at the gay pride parades!

Now, if you’re Asian-American, let me ask you this: would you be caught dead drinking a Bud? No, seriously. I’m obviously not the biggest alcohol drinker, but the last time I’ve seen Asians drink cheap beer I was in a fraternity house, and that’s because they ran out of money to buy Ecstasy. All my Asian drinker friends will imbibe mixed drinks, take shots, maybe drink a microbrew or an imported beer. Hell, they’d syphon gasoline before drinking a Bud Light.

How considerate! AsianBud.com recognizes my love for bad beer and my Asian-American awareness by including a Chinese horoscope. Wow, that’s pretty original. Hey, you could make Wil Wheaton’s website bright red and put a Chinese horoscope on the main page and he can be Asian too! Never mind the Chinese character for the Year of the Dragon horoscope page actually says DOG. I wish I was kidding.

Okay, this is just a nitpick, but the graphic designer for AsianBud.com obviously opened his stock photography CD, missed the “Asian Male Images” folder and clicked on the “Native American / Peruvian / Aboriginal Peoples” folder instead. And if you look real closely behind the bottle of beer to the right of him, you’ll notice a map of Asia. You know, just in case we forget where Asia is!
Mommy, is it time for my valium now?
