Slog - Comments on Wait, Where'd My Beer Go? http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/wait_whered_my_beer_go Miller and Anheuser-Busch are releasing beer in camouflage cans to attract the hunting demographic. The cans arrive in October, just in time for a fresh slew of beer-related hunting accidents. (Via Adfreak.)...

Some states have specific laws against drinking and hunting. Seems like Miller and Anheuser-Busch are opening themselves up for a lot of flack if they are truly marketing the product this way.

I mean, could you imagine if any of these companies put their logo on something like, I dunno, a race car? Crazy!!!

Confidential to Miller and Anheuser-Busch: A fluorescent orange can for hunting would be way cooler. Most animals wouldn't notice it (um, unless of course you actually moved it to your lips), and it'd be a hell of a lot easier to pick up your trash in the woods.

Cammo cans are just going to sit in the woods and pollute them - and having drunk hunters is way worse than having hunters high on Jesus.

But, I just thought of use for the camoflage beer cans - we can use them against the pit bulls if they're full ... the cans full, that is.
