- Crazy Horse was (or is about to be) taken off the market because of
- complaints from American Indians (specifically in the Midwest) that
- felt marketing a cheap high alcohol beer with a name like
- "crazy Horse" was a slap in the face to Indians given current
- problems with alcoholism.
-
- I'm not an Indian so I could be wrong in my interpretation.

- > Crazy Horse is the right name. Don't know about marketing.
