As for MADD, I think that, like PETA, they often target the little guys figuring it'll be an easier battle, much like the gripe over the treatment of ducks in the making of foie gras, instead of griping over...say....the appalling treatment of cattle and poultry in the large slaughterhouses.

They're a once well-intentioned organization that's basically become one of the loudest anti-alcohol voices in the country. They're kind of like the PETA of the booze world, with insane over-the-top reactions to anything like this. They're the reason BAC levels while driving are so low that drinking more than one beer will earn you a DUI. Errrgh, they really piss me off. The Modern Drunkard actually has a very well researched article about MADD from several years ago that better explains it. http://www.drunkard.com/issues/08_02/08_02_fighting_madd.htm Screw MADD.

Ask anyone from Jersey" what exit are you from" and you will undoubtedly be told to "go to hell" since it is a sarcastic way to ask someone where they are from. To them it is probably just like naming the beers after a town. Still, even knowing that bit of knowledge, it was a stupid thing to slap on the side of a beer bottle.
