4 or 5 months ago (???) someone posted a link to a ton of these great budweiser commercials. Tried searching but came up empty. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

15 February, 2004

Well folks, it's been a fun ride, but as with all good things, it has to end sometime.


Anheuser-Busch has shut us down. This site is now a Bud-Free zone.

Why, you ask? Well, apparently they do not appreciate my exposing millions of surfers to their ads. Last month alone, this Website single-handedly (and for free, I might add) exposed 2,833,648 visitors to Anheuser-Busch's various ad campaigns. Maybe they're just jealous because my Google ranking is higher than theirs. Who knows? Maybe I'm hurting their sales. You know, bricco.org is an awful, awful website and we scare our visitors away from Anheuser-Busch products. I wonder if they think I was making money from all this. Answer this question: Have I ever asked anybody for anything for these ads? I think not. I could really see their point if I was profitting from all this, but I'm not. I mearly did the countless hours of research and opened my collection up to you. All in one convienient location. I did it out of love, man.

I've been emailed countless times by people asking me to burn them a cd for a price. I flat out said no every single time. Many visitors have written to me offering to Paypal me a few bucks for my troubles. I flat out said no every single time. This website is a hobby and you have to expect hobbies to cost a little bit each month, but I never asked. Never. And I never will.

I wonder how many of you have listened to the ads, felt thirsty and then headed to the 7-11 for a half rack of longnecks? Honestly, I have on more than one occasion. How many of you have ever had a crazy, hectic day and listening to a few Bud Light commercials actually made you feel better? You should see the emails I've received telling me just that.

Remember when Beanie Babies were the craze? Well, now it seems to be Bud Light ads. I collect them like a man possessed. Here's an interesting fact: 36% of my traffic is from our military stationed in the U.S. and overseas. You would not believe the emails I receive from these folks and their Commanding Officers thanking me for helping to improve troop morale in a time when that's a very difficult thing to accomplish. I'm retired military myself and know what it's like to be far from home. I got much satisfaction in knowing that I've helped to put a smile on a few of those faces.


Will this change my opinion of the product itself? Probably not. I have to admit, Anheuser-Busch has the best ad campaigns. They mix in humor and humor sells. And the beer's not bad either.


My website just last month had almost 3 million hits, due mostly to having those ads. I was not using the BUDWEISER KING OF BEERS or BUD LIGHT trademarks to self-associate myself with the Anheuser-Busch Companies. I was only trying to refer some traffic their way sort of in appreciation for such creative ad campaigns. My referral logs from last month indicate that 3,312 people hit the Budlight.com link and 1,207 hit the Budweiser.com link. So in some ways, I was assisting them by driving traffic to their websites because I'm quite sure a few of you must have clicked on their links and bought something. Or at the very least, got on their spam mailing list.....


Well, Anheuser-Busch has declared war on all the fan sites and they're winning. Most of the other fan sites have been shut down or are in the process of shutting down their ad pages. We have shut down our Budweiser and Bud Light files but not the rest of the site. We still have much more to offer our visitors. So keep coming back!

If you'd like to voice your opinion, please drop Anheuser-Busch an email and tell them what you think about all this. You can fill out a simple feedback form HERE


Or call them at 1-800-DIAL-BUD

Maybe if they get enough responses they'll realize that we're actually helping them, not hurting them.

You can also visit our message forum and post your rant in the "sound off" topic of the Bud Light board.

Either way, please be as respectful as possible. I owe that much to the Anheuser-Busch Companies, because the letter from their law firm was very respectful and by no means threatening to me. I guess if I felt cocky, I could ignore their letter and continue as if nothing happened, but in today's society, that's not the right answer. I will resect their wishes, but I don't have to like it.


Anyway, thanks to every single one of our visitors who took the time to find us. We do appreciate your visits, your emails and thanks to all who signed our Guestbook and left such positive comments.
