>>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.<<

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.
