The poster by organizers of the Folsom Street Fair, sponsored in part by Miller Brewing, replaces the bread and wine representing Christ's blood and body with sadomasochistic sex toys.

Organizers of San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair — sponsored by Miller Brewing Co. – have portrayed Christ and his disciples as half-naked homosexual sadomasochists in the event’s promotional advertisement, and the conservative group Concerned Women for America is complaining about the hypocrisy of it...
After someone from Miller pulled their head out of the ass, Miller has asked to have its log removed from the advertising poster for the “event.” So far, however, Miller has NOT pulled its sponsorship of this freak show...

Many other sources posted today but I say the more the better. This article cropped the picture. The right side of the full picture has several sex toys prominently displayed.
Miller - The Beer for Queers!
Here’s a list of the Queer Beers:
Miller Genuine Draft
Miller Genuine Draft Light

Miller High Life Light
Miller Lite
Milwaukee’s Best
Milwaukee’s Best Light
Mickey’s
Olde English 800
There is something drastically wrong with some human beings!
As if Miller Chill was not enough of a reason to boycott all Miller products!
Miller Beer: not a good call
All right guys - no more Miller at the parish bingo games!
And you Knights of Columbus are going to have to switch to Bud!
Ewwwwwww...
Their online chat guys at Miller are getting testy! I’m guessing they’re getting lots of complaints. Look for Miller to pull their sponsorship completely next year.
You know what really makes me angry is the ‘globalization’ crowd wanting us to rush in and make American life more continental.
I’m told t.v. in Europe and South America is quite raunchy and that ours is tame by comparison! No thanks!
Coming out of the queer capital of the US, nothing surprises me. I’m just waiting for the big earthquake to make San Francisco a watery city.

Corporate telephone number (414) 931-2000.
The operator will switch you to another line where you can tell them what to do with their products.
Wait till I tell my brother he drinks Queer Beer!
I wonder what the Commissioner of the “More Taste League” will say about this?
You've been there too? :)
Miller Beer, the limp beer.
I also warned him to tell the executives that Miller Beer is now being called Queer Beer and that suits me just fine because I drink the "King of Beer".
I was there long enough to dish some much-deserved abuse and announce my intention to ban Miller from my home. The Miller anti-Christian’s answer was to ask where the Miller product question was. The flames were shooting out of my display, but that’s what I expected from Satan’s enablers. I encourage others to go to the site and tweek them a bit.
Just another form of hatred and bigotry by the sexual deviants aimed at those who don’t accept their behavior as beneficial to society. Some people on the planet still have not accepted the Will and Grace show as an accurate portrayal of the practices, of fisting, rimming and gerbiling in San Francisco.
If you want to see what this event is about, just put “Folsom Street Fair” into Google Images.
BUT DON’T DO THIS AT WORK !!!!!
You may also need eye-bleach to sanitize your eyes after looking at these.
Done!

New Man Law: No more drinking Miller Beers.
From the website:
United Airlines is the Official Airline of the 2007 Folsom Street Fair. If you or your travel agent call United’s toll-free number (1-800-521-4041) to book your reservations, you will receive a 2% discount off the lowest applicable discount fare, including First Class or a 5% discount off full fare unrestricted coach fares, purchased 7 days in advance.
If you look at photos of prior year's fairs, Miller was a past sponsor too.
The event seems to cater to specific fetishes as reflected in the flag in the ad which is the "Leather Pride Flag" which Wikipedia says, "is not an exclusively gay symbol and represents the entire leather community".
While the Folsom Street Fair appears aimed at this leather fetish community, and perhaps sadomasochism, I saw photos of people dressed in mascot-type animal costumes too.
Miller Lite is the sponsor. Brands are generally not responsible for what their sister-labels do with advertising.
It's the exact same company. Can the head honchos of marketing divisions provide "input" to brand-level advertising project coordinators? (Ya better believe it).
In this case, Miller's name is the one mixing in the mud; therefore any reputation is "Miller-wide."
Excellent. Can I use that pic on my website? I’ll link it back to whatever you’re pushing.
I think the guy on the right looks like Larry the Cable Guy.
Miller is toast as far as I am concerned now.
Thanks for the links.
Oh man, how am I gonna live without my 40 of Olde English 800?
