Michael Brown Drink Special: 6 Shots for $10

In a crass and heartless marketing move, a St. Joseph, Missouri bar called, Mug Shots, decided to capitalize on the death of unarmed Michael Brown who was shot by Officer Darren Wilson last August. by offering a “Mike Brown” drink special after seeing a similar offer on another bar’s Facebook page.

In an interview with FOX news,

A co-owner of the bar, Rodney Stapleton, admitted that he got the idea after seeing another bar that posted a similar special on their Facebook page, saying it looked like they got a good response.

“It looked like it was getting a good response so I just decided to use it here,” he said. “That’s what bar owners do if they find something works at another bar they try to use it at their bar.”

Now he says, it was a poor decision.

“It’s not meant to cause any harm,” he admitted. “I should have thought a little bit more about it before I made it a shot special.”

After protesters lined up outside of the establishment, owners created a new special to poke fun at themselves for their ridiculous lapse in judgement posting a sign that read,

“The owner of Mug Shots is an *sshole shot special, 6 Jose Cinge shots for $12.”

Hmm… same type of alcohol, same number of drinks yet at a higher price? I guess the only thing special about thier specials is their poor punnery.
