Probably not. Because they have been producing beer since 1876 and are firmly stuck on the ground. Unless their famous commercial phrase “What’s Up?” actually is a hidden message saying that they are going into the airline business. I don’t think that will happen for a long time – because they have too much history on the ground holding them back.
History should not stop Budweiser fly and eventually lands on top of the airline industry.
Strength is a weakness, if not used as a strength.

In a land rich with culture and curiosity, my book Sharkonomics is now swimming amongst 127 million readers. It’s humbling and amazing to see Sharkonomics translated into Japanese – a beautiful language – and designed and presented in such a clean-cut way. My hope is that it will inspire Japanese business people in both attack and defence. Since Japan is such a great country which I have yet to visit, my hope now is to hold lectures about Sharkonomics and meet interesting people there, and experience the uniqueness of this land.

The B-movie Sharknado is a mega movie success. I have seen hundreds of shark movies but Sharknado seems to be outstanding (in a way only B-movies can be). It got 5,000 tweets per minute (Foxnews).
B-movies are more trendy than the rest of Hollywood, this movies is produced by one of the best The Asylum.
When a freak hurricane swamps Los Angeles, nature’s deadliest killer rules sea, land, and air as thousands of sharks terrorize the waterlogged populace.

Watch the trailer for Sharknado a mega success with over 6 million wives on Youtube and are creating a cult tribe of fans.
Sharknado will make Sharkonomics swim faster and bite harder!
