Nascar Flavor

Like most members of the new-media, we're addicted to flavorpill. Its trusty cultural filter warms our hearts whenever it pops up in our inbox, and makes us feel like we're actually cool and, occasionally, on the leading edge of hip in this town. (We realize, however, flavorpill does not make us sexier.) Which is why we were pretty conflicted over today's announcement that our beloved 'pill is partnering with Anheuser Busch for Select Flavor, a program that will highlight emerging artists who will create ads using "variations on the Select crown, interpreted by each artist in captivating, unique ways." More troubling, though, is that Budweiser "aims to position Budweiser Select as the new beer of choice for discerning, trend-setting adults." The Select brand desires to identify with the creative class, people who emphasize and appreciate quality in all aspects of life be it design, fashion, travel, or cuisine and proper beer is no exception. By aligning the Select brand with Flavorpill, Anheuser Busch commits to our audience's forward-thinking sensibility and ever-evolving taste patterns. For the record, we don't often drink cheap beer, but when we do, we've been known to select PBR. Full release after the jump.
