Allow me to correct a sentence in the article:
Today, though, AB InBev confirmed to GBH that it has, in fact, invested in infested the website.

If it is a minor infestation, can we call on an exterminator?

Interesting that they did it using something called ZX Ventures. They may be making acquisitions where the acquired company doesn't realize it's AB.

I wonder if ZX was chosen because A is first and B is second, and Z is last and X ous second to last in the alphabet (like the HAL is one before IBM theory about 2001).

A simple Googling of ZX Ventures reveals it's AB, so I'm sure no one is being bought out without knowing who it is.

I'm sure a lot of great movies involve the hero coming out of "retirement" to save everyone.
