Irony

I just had a huge spike in hits over the past couple of days, and it's clearly due to people searching for that "Bud Light Lime in the can" video ad, which I recently posted. Which of course is hilarious, because I'll likely never allow Bud Light Lime to pass my lips. Or, as Bull E. Vard put it: I think I'd literally rather have it in the can than drink a Bud Light Lime.

Budweiser to buy Budweiser?!?

Budejovicky Budvar, the state-owned Czech brewery that produces the beer that Europe knows as Budweiser, could go into private ownership soon – which raises the possibility that it could be bought out by Anheuser-Busch, which of course produces that inferior swill that America knows as Budweiser. (If you're confused, they've been locked in a trademark dispute with one another for years.) Read about it here.

Meanwhile, the Czech prime minister dismisses such a possibility.

And if that weren't all weird enough, despite their battle over the name, in January A-B signed a contract to become the distributor of Budvar in the United States.
