Question

http://www.cnn.com/US/9907/31/gay.advertising/index.html

or are they just ahead of their time ?

for the record...i don't care what miller does, just asking what you good people think

Holy Cow ..."gay agenda" is a term i've heard alot on the news/talk shows...do they have one or do they just want the same rights and privilages that other Americans enjoy ?

Answer 1

"Gay agenda" is as idea being pushed by the lunatic fringe like Michael Savage. There is also a "Gay Mafia" out there too in case you haven't heard. In my opinion it's just as nutty sounding as the 9/11 conspiracy theories.

Answer 2

it really is not any longer the honestly association with Miller that allowed Jesus again into your existence in spite of everything those years. Your non secular journey change into more suitable probable brought on by your unexpected 'up-grade' to a classier beer. With this new chanced on aspect of enlightenment once you sense spiritually ambitious sufficient you could up-grade to a good classier beer, like a Beck or Michelob, and Jesus will answer you again. And once you're prepared for the spectacular leap, having God communicate to you without delay, you could benefit this by switching to a Sam Adams Lager.

Answer 3

Levis' success in the gay community saved them from going bankrupt (the headquartered in San Fransisco). It amazes me how some people politicize everything. It's advertising. Companies don't advertise out of the goodness of hearts. They do it to make money.

And while we're at it, just what is the "gay agenda?"

Answer 4

They werent trying to advance an agenda.....they were targeting their advertising to increase their sales...... When they or Budweiser run all these ads with sports themes, they arent trying to advance sports, they are trying to sell beer to that segment of the population

Answer 5

hadn't heard of this so thanks for the info.

did you know that John Coors, CEO of Coors brewing is a BIG donor to James Dobson and the Christian Coalition?
imagine that, fundies taking money from the sale of beer, lol.

Answer 6

Look where they aired the commercial...they are just following the local lack of morality, not "advancing" anything.

The Brotherhood of the Disappearing Pants: A Field Guide to Conservative Sex Scandals: If you're like me, you are finding it very difficult to keep track of Republican and Evangelical sex scandals. Goodness, they just keep screwing and screwing up faster than my aged brain cells can synapse. Well, fret no more! The naughty liberals over at Nation Books have felt your frustration and on October 28 their newest title, The Brotherhood of the Disappearing Pants: A Field Guide to Conservative Sex Scandals will be available nationwide.

This book, by the authors of "Sweet Jesus, I Hate Bill O'Reilly," is great fun. Since BuzzFlash has been posting Republican sex scandals for more than seven years, we know how vast the field is to cover. As "wide-stance" Larry Craig once again showed, the GOP sexually perverted hypocrites -- of the heterosexual, bi-sexual, and gay variety -- just can't keep their pants down. (We should note that their have also been a number of Republican women who have been caught with their skirts down.)

The authors document the details with a delightful droll voice. More than 60 "family value" GOPers get "exposed" in this rollicking Nation Books publication. In fact, even though "Disappearing Pants" has just been released, Larry Craig's coming out stall incident happened too recently to be included. You just can't keep up with the latest members of "the brotherhood of of the disappearing pants"!

But, to get back to YOUR question: the Folsom Street Fair, a gay parade which has for years included full nudity and sex acts on public streets is set to take place again this year on September 30 with city approval, partial public funding and sponsorship by Miller Brewing Company. This year several Christian and pro-family groups have called for public scrutiny into the event as the ad for the event is a mockery of Christ's Last Supper.

The ad portrays Christ and His disciples as half-naked homosexual sadomasochists with the bread and wine representing Christ's broken body and blood replaced with sadomasochistic sex toys.

"The most unimaginable and vile acts of debauchery are commonplace during the fair," said Matt Barber, Policy Director for Cultural Issues with Concerned Women for America (CWA). "Senator Larry Craig was arrested and driven out of the Senate for allegedly soliciting public 'gay' sex, yet during this event the city of San Francisco suspends the law and allows 'gay' men and women to parade the streets fully nude, many having sex - even group orgies - in broad daylight, while taxpayer funded police officers look on and do absolutely nothing."

Catholic League president Bill Donohue focussed his attention on getting Miller to act on the anti-Christian ad. "There are several sponsors to this street fair, but most are local and represent niche markets; Miller is the only national household sponsor," said Donohue. "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."
