Busch buys World Cup rights ('This buds for you') in Germany!

[Tinksrival]

This story is just so absurd I almost didn't believe it. Lets here it for American Corporatism!

Around 1,000 Dutch fans arrived for the Ivory Coast tie in their traditional bright orange trousers - but bearing the logo and name of a Dutch brewery. To protect the rights of the official beer they were denied entry, so the male fans promptly removed the trousers and watched the game in underpants.

Football's governing body has explained why up to 1,000 Dutch fans watched a World Cup tie wearing no trousers. :rofl:

There has been a wider resentment in Germany that a US brewery has the exclusive rights in a country which prides itself on the quality of its beer and has very strict laws governing its composition.

2. I'd go to war if Busweiser tried to corner the market on beer

My fvckin' piss would taste better cold

American corporations are the essence of unbridled evil. May they all burn in hell

3. Euro 2000

back in 2000, it was the European Cup. In Belgium, in the Stade Du Pays in Charleroi, there were guys taping off the logos on the underside of the toilet seats. They were making sure that nobody was able to see the logo of the brand of the toilets, since that company wasn't an official sponsor of Euro 2000.
