    Budweiser Renames Beer to 'America'

    So, in a blast of amazing marketing skill, they're replaced the name 'Budweiser' with 'America' on the labels, and replaced the 'AB' with 'US', and put text from the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star Spangled Banner on it. I'm waiting to laugh at the inevitable storm of hilarious comments...
