I thought we were boycotting crappy beer, then I realized it was just displaced moral outrage.

The Heineken we get here in the US is pretty poor. Fresh on draft in Holland I was shocked at how good it was. And I wasn't high when I tried it!

I had some on draft at the Amsterdam airport before, and it was good.
Maybe they are scared that our tastes are screwed up from drinking Budweiser and Coors so they send us the crappy version.

Its not bad in the UK. Its probably the best of the common cheap lagers, its certainly far better than Fosters or Carling.
I have no idea how Americans buy so much Budweiser........

Americans can and do make some good beer, but there are also a lot of people who just buy cheap beer to get drunk.

Actually it doesn't.
The picture and the story circulated with it is "Heineken is sponsoring dog fights, let's boycott them for supporting dog fights."
The actual story is "The club serves Heineken, they had a promotional event where Heineken branding was featured the day before. The club held an illegal dog fight the next day and didn't remove any Heineken branding, which made it appear that Heineken sponsored the dog fight. Heineken has since dropped all business with that club."
But I can see how those two can be confused.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
