There Goes the Economy: Catholics Threaten Beer Boycott


"It's Miller Time!"™
You have to love over-reacting religious wind-bags. Without their fabulous, public diatribes against this or that aspect of popular culture, I'm sure I'd miss seeing commercials like the recent Miller Lite ad that parodies da Vinci's Last Supper. Self-Appointed pan-American Catholic purity enforcer William Donahue is now threatening Miller Brewing Company with a Catholic boycott of Miller Lite beer, stating, "Miller doesn't know what they're in for." I guess we can take that to mean that Donahue and his Catholic legions drink a LOT of Miller Lite. Oh, well. I guess that Miller Lite's loss is Old Style's gain.

Old Style Beer for Old School Beer Drinkers
Thanks, Mr. Donahue. What with global warming, child prostitution, the war in Iraq, the American health insurance crisis, chronic poverty and other such problems licked, the Church and her followers should definitely devote their energies to standing up to evil beer companies and their ungodly commercials. You surely know how to make your Savior proud. Well done. Seriously, methinks you are expending way too much capital over a non-issue. I'd recommend that you chill out, take some deep breaths, kick back and watch a little Comedy Central. Then again, given how you feel about homosexuality, you'd probably end up boycotting Comedy Central over this piece from the Daily Show. Oh, and you'd drive Comedy Central right out of business, just like you did to Miller Brewing Company.
