Slog - Comments on Miller Beer is Sorry About that Last Supper Poster http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/miller_beer_is_sorry_about_that_last_sup More ripples--but not the final ones--from the scandal over the Folsom Street Fair's poster: Miller Brewing issues apology over poster Miller Brewing Co. today apologized for allowing the company's brand logos to appear on a poster promoting a San Francisco street festival that some viewed as offensive to Catholics. The poster, a parody of the Last Supper, promoted the Folsom Street Fair, which features exhibits on sexual practices. The company also said it has taken action to avoid future incidents.

Looks like a woman but for the lack of boobs.

It's ridiculous how sensitive they are about being offended. It is Tikkum Olam to make fun of Christians.

On another note does anyone know if there will be a Menorah in SeaTac this winter? As a Jew I was highly offended that the sacred symbol of my faith was not publicly displayed.

A similar passion, in fact, that I feel when I gaze upon Sebastian. Thank GOD I grew up Protestant! Less temptation.

Next year, Folsom should just hit up Anchor, Pyramid, Sierra Nevada, or the like for a sponsorship. I mean, it's not like SF has a dearth of local breweries or anything.

How does that work?

I'm trying to think of an analogy here, but to be honest I can't think of a comparison that is less silly than the truth: the catholic league, shocked and offended that a BREWING COMPANY would use sinful advertisements to sell, well, bottled sin.

I mean I'm Australian and Seatac has failed to recognize our national religions of cricket and rugby for years. I dont fret for there is always solace in the temple of the Kangaroo and Kiwi, I beleieve the equivalent to be a synagogue?

Coors that the gay community has boycotted on and off for decades>>>

Odd timing, eh? Right after they combined entities. Thanks, but I'll be boycotting Miller from now on (but I drink gin any way)

Nice going.

MillerCoors -- the worst beer in the world. I don't need to boycott them because I don't drink shit beer. Well, occasionally a Miller product, so, when you connect yourself with the Coors family in any way, your on "the list" with me...no more Miller.
