On September 30, San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair will be held. The ad for this year’s gay/leather event depicts half-naked homosexuals at a table mimicking the Last Supper. The sadomasochistic theme features sex toys displayed on the table.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue explains his response today:
“Kudos to Concerned Women for America for bringing this obscenity to the attention of the public. Their strategy is to get California politicians to denounce this event. Our strategy is to get Miller Brewing Company to withdraw its sponsorship. Here’s why.
“There are several sponsors to this street fair, but most are local and represent niche markets; Miller is the only national household sponsor. Furthermore, Miller has a record of acceding to requests from various segments of the population that have objected to certain ads: it has bowed to the wishes of Muslims, African-American clergy, lawyers and feminists by pulling ads deemed offensive. Surely it will do the same in this instance: the ad, like the event, is morally depraved. Indeed, it is the kind of ad that only the enemies of Christians would entertain.
“We have contacted Miller Brewing and expect that they will cooperate and do what is ethically right.”

As noted by other posters, if mocking Christians is passe.
If they had ANY balls, at all, they would do a photospread of someone sodomizing Mohammed with a bomb on his head.
But they’re CHICKEN. Bock-bock-Bock.
Miller beer is out...gee...those fellas had such interesting plans for the empty bottles...

I’m not sure if it’s very “threatening” for groups like Concerned Women for America to say they will not buy any future kegs from Miller... :)
SUBJECT: The Folsom Street Fair Ad
Julian Green:
I can not believe a major US corporation would put its name on such an offensive and hateful ad. I will never ever consider buying any product made by or associated with Miller Brewing Company ever again.
Isn’t Miller Brewing Company owned by Europeans? Perhaps they think the depravity common in much of Europe will be accepted here.
Good for Bill Donohue!
When perversion is treated as normal, Hell is just around the corner.
In the case of San Francisco, it’s already here.
Good Lord, imagine, in a city named for St. Francis, that this extraordinary depravity occurs so regularly.
Lets send them over to Iran if they don’t want to play nice. (just joking)
Its bad beer - let the queers have all they want. Drink Sam Adams.
“I’d love to boycott Miller. But I can’t. I already don’t drink their beer pisswater. Brew your own. It’s better.”
Heh, heh. Even when I didn’t know any better and drank cheap domestic beer, I didn’t touch Miller. Thank God I joined the Navy, got to travel and found out what real beer was.
bttt
“Miller has a record of acceding to requests from various segments of the population that have objected to certain ads: it has bowed to the wishes of Muslims, African-American clergy, lawyers and feminists by pulling ads deemed offensive”
And there it is...
Once you silence yourself in the name of Political Correctness, you become a victim...
Been boycotting Miller since they sponsered that big illegals rally.
No. South Africans.
Well, they can count me out as a consumer. When I do drink beer it tends to be Miller Light... no more.
Sheesh, Sponsored even....
