Fox News reports: Catholic group calls for boycott of Miller....
League is upset over Miller's ties to a fair promoted in an ad that shows semi-nude men and women in bondage at a table with sex toys portraying Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" painting.
"Miller is sponsoring an incredibly outrageous and palpably anti-Christian event," said Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League.
The 2007 Folsom Street Fair, which organizers promote as "fairgrounds filled with people in their most outrageous leather/rubber/fetish attire" is planned for Sunday on Folsom Street in San Francisco.
The fair will benefit a group of local charities, including an organization called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, who call themselves "queer nuns."
** AND MY E-MAIL EXCHANGE WITH MILLER's FLAK:
Charlie –
This statement is being sent to you on behalf of Julian Green, Miller Brewing Company’s spokesperson on the Folsom Street Fair issue that you talked about on the station this morning.
“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.”

I responded:
Charlie, the logo has been taken off the poster on the website as requested. As you know we are a sponsor so our listing on the sponsor page remains. Thank you.
Julian
