Yesterday we wrote about the Folsom Street Fair and its poster mocking Da Vinci’s Last Supper. Miller Brewing Company is a sponsor of the fair, and its logo is visible on the poster featuring sadomasochist homosexuals in place of Jesus and the disciples and sex toys in place of the bread and wine.
Miller has apparently felt the pressure leveled against it from this blog and has asked the Fair officials to remove its logo. Sure, they say it was Christian groups that motivated the change, but we know the real story. It was us.
In a statement on its website, Miller said while it 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 said.
I’m still not drinking Miller for the same reasons I posted yesterday. For those who don’t know what the Folsom Street Fair is:
The annual street event, which includes displays of nudity and sexual activity, is scheduled for Sept. 30. It describes its mission as organizing “world-class volunteer driven leather events, providing the adult alternative lifestyle community safe venues for self-expression, emphasizing freedom, fun and frolic, while raising money to benefit San Francisco charities.”
How nice.
