Budweiser Clydesdale Foal Is Named Hope

The three-week-old star of Budweiser's Super Bowl ad now has a name: Hope.

Anheuser-Busch said Tuesday that its contest to find a name for the foal born Jan. 16 at the company's Clydesdale ranch in mid-Missouri generated more than 60,000 tweets, Facebook comments and other messages. Hope was one of the more popular names generated through the social media effort.

Other suggestions were nods to the song featured in the commercial, including Landslide -- the name of the song -- and Stevie -- for Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks.

Alex that was just dumb. Clydesdale are work horses. Everyone knows hope and change doesn't work!

I guess you still live in the world where horses do the work.

Get out a little bit more Alex and you will see that horses do work. Take a ride North and visit an Amish farm. How about the police that uses horses. Educate yourself before you make such a stupid remark.

Mounted police or what's left of it does not use Clydesdales.
Amish live in the 18th century, and so are you.
BTW even Amish hardly use Clydesdales because they are expensive.

Clydesdales are still being used as work horses. So saying they are not a work horse is nonsense. They are a breed of draught horse and that was their purpose. To WORK. Just like humans they are suppose to work. Something you seem to know nothing about. Now you are going to bash the Amish for the way they live? Just like a typical democrat you bash things you don't understand or is against the immoral way you live. Shame on you Alex. Horses do work maybe you should try working it might make you feel better about yourself.
This ends this conversation I have wasted enough time trying to educate you on the way the world works. I think you are a lost cause.
