Miller Hi-Life Pulls Ad For Lowlifes

Miller Brewing, a sponsor of this weekend's fetish street fair in San Francisco, has asked to have its logo removed from an advertising poster:

"While Miller has supported the Folsom Street Fair for several years, we take exception to the poster the organizing committee developed this year. We understand some individuals may find the imagery offensive and we have asked the organizers to remove our logo from the poster effective immediately," the company told Cybercast News Service on Tuesday.

However, since there is no mention of Miller pulling its support from the festival itself, I can only conclude that Miller is still a sponsor, they just don't want their name on the poster. Which is rather hypocritical.

Miller pulls its logo from the poster because the poster offends Christian's, yet Miller still supports the festival, which, according to commenters from yesterdays post, is a festival where people openly have sex in the streets, whip each other is sado/mosochistic rituals and perform lewd acts in public (where children have been openly invited to attend by event organizers). That not only offends Christians, that's pretty offensive to everybody.

My point isn't to rain down on the fetish festival, my point is that Miller needs to get its act together. Stop acting like a bunch of hypocrits and take a stand. If you approve of the festival, go whole hog into it. If you don't approve, then bow out gracefully. They're not fooling anyone by pretending to be some sort of moral compass by taking their logo off the ad, meanwhile, on the street corner in full view of children, some guy is blowing some dude who's dressed like a monkey while drinking that piss Miller calls beer.

Or something like that.

Who's responsible for sending me this? Take a guess.
