I'm not following. You did say the Catholic boycott was a charade didn't you? Like we've been pulling for almost 2,000 years.I must've missed the part where charades and boycotts meant the same thing.
My most sincere apologies.

Yeah, but we're feeling much better now.Yes, I called it a charade. I didn't say it was the only sort of charade. The sale of indulgences, the Spanish inquisition, etc.
I mean the list of charades (and atrocities, for that matter) that we can credit to the Catholic church is nothing short of extraordinary.
Nah. At the moment we are not nutjobs. Cool with evolution, science in general, but... we've still got to get past the 'gay is evil' thing. Most Catholics have. but the Vatican hasn't caught up. yet.True, you have evolved with time, and you're no where near as annoying as evangelicals/fundamentalists, but you still have your moments.
San Francisco, Sep 27, 2007 / 11:25 am (CNA).- Following an uproar over its sponsorship of the annual homosexual event known as the Folsom Street Fair, Miller Brewing Company has pulled its support from the event.
The scuffle over the brewers sponsorship is over a poster for the fair that portrays half-naked sado-masochists as Christ and his disciples at the Last Supper.
After several groups voiced their opposition and outrageamong them Americans for Truth, The Catholic League and the Family Research CouncilMiller withdrew their support saying, "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," according to Cybercast News Service.
I think if the company removes their support,then it should not be boycotted.(of course, If you boycott it because of the taste then it won't matter)According to the article:
"Miller wants its logo removed from the poster"
If Miller takes steps to get the logo taken off, then why boycott Miller?
There are plenty of logos on that poster. Here is a link to it if anyone dares to look:

I thought this poster was Miller's ad campaign. I guess its just advertsig for this "special event"?
