Boston Beer Company, makers of
Sam Adams, launched a new commercial
on July 4th. In the commercial, the bartender quotes a few lines from the
Declaration of Independence—a document that Samuel Adams himself signed.
The script of the commercial goes
like this: “Why name a beer after Samuel
Adams? Because Samuel Adams signed the Declaration of Independence. He believed
there was a better way to live: all men are created equal. They are endowed
with certain unalienable rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Smooth, flavorful, we bow to no kings. Samuel Adams Boston Lager: Declare your
independence".
By omitting any reference to the
Creator, the beer company has carried the question of political correctness to the
point that we are now editing the Declaration of Independence.
This is not the first time the
brewery has caused a stink. Remember
their “Sex for Sam” promotion on the Opie and Anthony shock radio show?
Perhaps, the beer is better
suited for one of the Insufferable Airhorn’s vaunted beer summits.
