“I like my beer like I like my violence: domestic” has been posted on many bar signs. The bars possibly thought that the “joke” promotes domestic beer, but many patrons believed that it was not a joke and that domestic violence is never funny. The bar signs usually have been taken down quickly.

Another Bar Makes Terrible Domestic Violence Joke
Tuesday, May 27, 2014, by Khushbu Shah
It’s the unfunny joke that never seems to go away: Yet another bar has posted a joke that reads: “I like my beer like I like my violence: Domestic.” Eater Dallas notes that Scruffy Duffies in Plano, Texas posted the horrific analogy on its chalkboard menu this past weekend. Patron Courtney Williams discovered the sign when she went to the bar with friends Saturday night. Williams writes in a Facebook post that she had to ask multiple managers to take down the “joke” — which was apparently written by a female bartender — before it was eventually removed.

The sheer number of institutions that have posted the tasteless “joke” is saddening: A bar in Austin, a bistro in Houston, and bars in Philadelphia and Montreal have all posted iterations of the analogy.
