Store owner boycotts Miller Beer over Folsom Street Fair

advertisement

The national media isn't interested, but it appears that word is spreading about Miller Lite's sponsorship of the Folsom Street Fair, San Francisco's public indecency-fest…and at least one store owner isn't standing for it:

Mike Setto, owner of Orion Keg & Wine Party Store, is boycotting Miller Brewing Co. products until he hears a major apology from it to the public.

Setto said he nearly went out of his mind when he saw the beer manufacturer's logo on a poster depicting the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with Jesus and his disciples posed as scantily dressed homosexuals. "This is not against homosexuals. This is about the Last Supper, the poster where 13 half-naked people have sex objects in their hands, dirty sex objects and beer and the guys are pretending to be Jesus and his disciples, wearing face masks and all that," Setto said…

… Setto, a Chaldean native of Iraq, has lived in the United States since 1970 and calls this the most embarrassing thing he's seen since moving here. Chaldeans are considered one of the Christian minorities originating from the Middle East.
