Haven't They Done Enough?

As if being responsible for the beer that most tastes like piss (I'm guessing...but I do know what the beer tastes like) isn't enough, Anhueser Busch is now bringing us Spykes, little bottled shots of alcoholic nastiness in flavors like "Hot Melons" (seriously!) and "Hot Chocolate." The Spykes website suggests that they're perfect for adding to a beer (to hide the piss-taste, presumably) or to do as a standalone shot.

MSNBC is reporting that anti-underage-drinking folks are up in arms, and AB is playing Rainman on the question of whether or not they're marketing to teens.

As if the ringtones, screensavers, and IM icons available on the Spykes website weren't dead giveaways.
