I think your preachin to the choir with this statement
Think about the genious of their marketing for a minute though. They have a sea of unneducated masses who crave alcoholic beverages. So, instead of educating them (which would turn them against thier product, for obvious reasons) they fill them full of half truths, re-directions, and outright lies. The thing is, most people are not going to question it, or take the time to find out for themselves. So, for them it might as well be gospel. I have actually heard people repeat this nonsense.
Its kind of like those emails you get that say "you can look it up on snopes.com to verify". Have you ever looked it up on snope? I always do, and 99% of them are total lies. The originators know that most will not look it up, and repeat thier lies. I recieved one a couple of weeks ago about the backwards pin thing, and have had 3 people tell me about it since.
Its the same concept, Miller-Coors is cashing in on ingorance and laziness.
As far as Miller Light, I can't stand it and never could. Even in my own BMC days, its the one that I would always turn down. It gave me a killer head ache. I would rather drink a bud light.
