Miller Beer Clarifies: No "Sponsorship," Just a Full-Page Centerfold Ad in Pornographic Sadomasochistic Program

[LifeSite News] 24 Sep 2008--After LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) readers contacted Miller/Coors Brewing Company to complain about their paid ad in the program guide for the notorious Folsom Street Fair, company spokesman Julian Green called LifeSiteNews.com from Colombia in South American to complain about the coverage. Green said he wanted to make it clear that while Miller/Coors did indeed place a full-page ad in the centerfold of the program guide (an 80 page production full of sadomasochistic porn) this year Miller/Coors is not an official sponsor of the fair itself.

However, while yesterday's LSN story said that Miller was "endorsing" the event with its ad, we never claimed that the company was an official "sponsor" of the fair. In any case, we couldn't help but wonder if Green wasn't splitting hairs. We asked Green if the brewing company had actually seen the guide in which their ad appeared. Green assured LSN, "Yes, I've seen the program guide. We took an ad out in the program guide."

But many of the images that appear in the Folsom Street Fair program are so vile and disturbing that LSN cannot even consider reprinting them here. (For reference's sake the program can be viewed at: http://www.folsomstreetevents.org/documents/2008_Official_Fo.... - Caution - very graphic images).

And the text in the guide is even worse. For instance, page 34 of the program, under the heading of 'Where to Get Some,' promotes the website StraightHell.net. The program describes the website as a place "where arrogant straight men finally get what they f***ing deserve!"
