Essay 1108


Breakfast is served with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Anheuser-Busch announced it will terminate the Bud Light campaign starring “Zagar and Steve” following complaints from Native American groups (see Essay 1040). “Based on discussions with the program director at the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility about these concerns, we have decided to conclude the campaign at the end of the month,” said an Anheuser-Busch spokesperson. Which means Zagar is now available to join the FDNY.
