Miller ‘Honk if you hate Jesus’ Lite
p2pnet news (OT) | Advertising:- Here’s a YouTube clip showing a nun sucking back a Miller Lite.
Good plug? There’s worse …….
San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair, “touts itself as the ‘crowning finale’ of the city’s Leather Pride Week festivities,” says Brent Bozell III on TownHall.com, continuing:
It’s not something you’d bring the children to, although in San Francisco those standards don’t necessarily apply. Media accounts showed that in some cases whole families attended — with the toddlers dressed in dog collars.
It is the kind of raunchy event that gives that city its reputation for decadence. But what really offended was the promotional poster for the fair. Seated at and standing behind a long table, Last Supper-style, are a set of men and women in various stages of leather dress/undress, including a man wearing a black dog mask. Sex toys, including a big red fist, are strewn across the table. As a spokesman for Concerned Women explained, “The bread and wine representing Christ’s broken body and life-giving blood are replaced with sadomasochistic sex toys in this twisted version of Da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper.’
So?
Well, highly visible in the left-hand corner of the ad is the Miller Lite sponsorship logo and, “Miller Brewing would like consumers to think of it as a wholesome, all-American product,” says Bozell.
“Instead, they’re in danger of becoming the Honk If You Hate Jesus beer.”
Miller Lite was the only national advertiser under the “Christ-mocking image.
Adds the post:
“When pressed by the Catholic League and other offended groups, Miller spokesman Julian Green gave the standard – which is to say, slippery – corporate answer. ‘While Miller has supported the Folsom Street Fair for several years,’ a nod to the gay community, ‘we take exception to the poster the organizing committee developed this year.’ If you think that was weak, try the next sentence: ‘We understand some individuals may find the imagery offensive’.”
She must be taking lessons from RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) spinmeister Cary Sherman

Speaking as a non Christian, it seems that nearly every group of people has a right to be offended except Christians and Jews. Society seems to bend over backward to avoid offending perverts while yet at the same time scoff when people of the Christian or Jewish faiths complain about things offensive to them. The P.S.A. surely has an evil and corrupt lamescream media and government.

Yup, Christophobia turns out to be the only legitimate hate to propagate.
