Millerbrewing USA is very hypocritical, if you consider the lengths to which they go on their homepage to give the illusion that they care about kids and porn....note the "registration" and links to Surfwatch Cybersitter NetNanny SafeSurf: http://www.millerbrewing.com/ © 2007 Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, WI Privacy Policy Terms and Conditions MillerLite.com MGD.com Registered with: Surfwatch Cybersitter NetNanny SafeSurf. . .

I’ve watched this for a few days now and haven’t seen my question addressed in any of the coverage or discussions. Maybe someone here knows. Is this event being sponsored by the brewery or by the local distributor. I happen to work for a distributor and I know that we call the shots on local ads. Ours are normally things like the Mardi Gras or Rice Festivals, but then we don’t live in an area like San Francisco, where what is so offensive to the rest of us seems like normal life.

My only regret is that I will no longer be drinking the occasional cold Icehouse in a bottle.

Boycotting companies who market to sinners does not, in the long run, make sense - American capitalism is based on marketing legal goods to whomever will buy them.

People are free to do it but I suspect the Catholic league and the AFA and the CWA have other motives than doing good.

And yes the picture is clearly offensive, but that’s not the point.

Your answer is in this post. Note, however, that this is not the first time the Miller suits in Milwaukee have used the local distributor excuse.

This is their page on this topic.

But some of the pictures are very NSFW people should use caution before clicking.

They seem to be using the sin to raise money, as nearly as I can figure. They cannot possibly expect corporations to not try to sell beer to adults who drink beer.

No question-—corporations should market products-—in this case, market beer to adults who drink beer.

However, IT’S THE WAY they market that is the issue.

People offended by ads should speak out and try to get changes made.

“Though most corporate interest in the gay market materialized in just the last few years, No. 2 US brewer Miller Brewing Co. has had a fearless presence at San Francisco gay pride events and the leather-oriented Folsom Street Fair since the 1970s.”

Miller won’t back off from supporting the homosexual agenda. They’ve been at it 30 years so far.

But they can certainly be smacked down for open display of antiChristian bigotry.

Agreed. I’ve written to several companies about their advertising and I even boycott an entire year of my favorite TV show -South Park- because of the Virgin Mary episode.

But in this case Miller didn’t have anything to do with the offensive picture. They are just trying to sell beer to the people who did something offensive.

BTW, I looked at the link above about Miller’s advertising. Its amazing to look at Logo’s advertising. They describe it as Viacom’s 24 hour gay bi lesbian transexual channel but the advertisers are pretty much the same big companies as all the main networks.

Silence is approval---Miller Brewing should have voiced disapproval----ads that offend people of faith should not be tolerated.
