Quote:I disagree Robert that this is sad. It is actually SICK.I don't blame Bud, I blame FIFA for reacting complely over the top, as our foreign office rightly remarked. FIFA should have gone after the beer company, not after the women, who were released after hours of detaention, but later re-arrest while in their hotel, all 36 of them. I since heard that they were released on bail, and have to appear before a judge on tuesday.
Maybe that is why the well known American comedian, George Carlin, said that he cannot wait for certain new sports events to come out so that Budweiser can smere their logo feces on it.
This answers your question about what Budweiser is all about.
I wonder what charges the police brought against them, since they broke no South African law. Or it must be a new law that forbids anyone to 'deploy commercial activity inside a stadium', no doubt a change in the law made under pressure from FIFA. Why did FIFA refrain from forcing the country to obey their overlordship is beyond me, I think mr Blatter missed a real opportunity here. Maybe they can be brought before a FIFA trial with a FIFA judge in session. Maybe FIFA also has a jail in some other coutry they bribed? :evil:
