Kid Rock says Bud Light bashing was just ‘a tantrum with a machine gun’

Dylan Mulvaney last year — in which he shot up cases of the beer in a viral display that sparked a boycott of the brand — Kid Rock is now saying that he was firing blanks, not bullets.“So, what’s it like being the dude who took out Bud Light?” Joe Rogan asked the country-rocker on his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.”“Man, I was just having fun, to be honest with you,” Rock, 53, responded.“I was pissed, but it wasn’t like it was going to wreck my day, let alone my life. I was just kind of like, ‘What the f–k are they doing?’ ”But after Mulvaney posted a video promoting Bud Light as part of the company’s March Madness campaign last April, Rock let it rip on social media: “f–k Bud Light and f–k Anheuser-Busch.”That led to massive Bud Light losses, with many refusing to drink or even stock the beer.But while Rock insists that he wasn’t the “Pied Piper” of the boycott, he admits that he was the “face” of it.“Throwing a tantrum with a machine gun? ‘Wah, wah, they wanna let guys play in girls’ sports, wah,’” said Rock, then imitating the sounds of an automatic weapon.But since the whole brew-haha, the “Picture” singer said that he’s actually become friends with Bud Light CEO Brendan Whitworth — and the two have even partied together.“We’ve become friends.

John Oliver, Host Of Last Week Tonight Goes Viral Defending Trans Rights

John Oliver, host of the satirical TV news show Last Week Tonight, has gone viral for a pro-trans speech he made during his October 16 show.During the segment, Oliver discussed the fight for trans rights, with a focus on how conservatives have “truly lost their minds” about it. The host of the Emmy-winning series started by stating that over 100 anti-trans bills have been introduced in states across the United States, with 12 states signing them into law. Oliver went on to talk about the tactic used by conservatives to explain the rise in kids identifying as trans as “due to social contagion” or a “rapid onset gender dysphoria,” which Oliver said is, “total horseshit.”Oliver then pointed out that “there is ample evidence of gender variance throughout human history and as far back as historians have found evidence of trans people, they found trans children.   “And, to the extent that some young people are just exploring their gender identity, how exactly is that a bad thing? Who the fuck are they hurting?“Watching the conversation around this, it is hard not to feel like, to the extent that there is any social contagion here, it is among adults who have whipped themselves into such a frenzy that they can find themselves repeating some humiliating nonsense.”Holy shit pic.twitter.com/jAxYqytO8M— Ari Drennen (@AriDrennen) October 17, 2022Last Week Tonight with John Oliver airs Sunday nights and can be watched on Binge. © Star Observer 2022 | For the latest in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTIQ) news in Australia, be sure to visit
