   Someone up above mentioned boycotting Miller, which certainly seems appropriate to me, for those of us who think this is truly dispicable. Miller is currently owned by SABMiller out of South Africa (wiki entry) and they own a lot of brands in addition to Miller, so be thorough if you want to go that route. The link above lists quite a few brands (under the Global Operations heading), and some of the more common state-side include:

   Fosters
   Pilsner Urquell
   Peroni
   all the Miller Brewing Company stuff:
   Miller / Miller Lite / etc
   Sharp’s
   Milwaukee’s Best
   Hamm’s
   Icehouse
   Red Dog

   I think I’ll boycott San Fran, too, but then I rarely travel that far west so that’s not saying much.

   Englishqueen I would like to add for Rusty’s sake that they don’t sell studded collars for children for a reason…it is inappropriate and I would personally make it my life’s mission to shut down any business that did! Right and wrong exists. This is clearly wrong.

   Perhaps I’m misreading your comment (and if I am, forgive me) – but I KNOW they don’t specifically sell studded collars for children.

   I find it appalling these “parents” went to a pet store to specifically to purchase dog collars for their children to wear to this fest of depravity. Were I the clerk in this store, and they had mentioned their intentions, I would have not sold them the collars. Period.

   Like you, I would shut down any business that tried to market leather gear for babies – but pet stores are, sadly, an “alternative” to mini leather gear.

   “Why do (these people) bring kids here? This is a leather fair for god’s sake,” said Bahran Aliassa, who was masturbating in public.

   So you’re sensible enough to realize that kids don’t belong there yet you continued rubbing one out, knowing they were around?

   You….are a very sick man.

   Funny how the Miller High Life commercials have delivery guys going in taking their beer out of restaurants because they sell cheeseburgers for $11.00. But sell dildos and invite children and you’re A.O.K. and let the beer flow.

   Now THIS is a commercial I’d love to see… The beer truck pulling up to Folsom Street and that big truck driver getting out and railing against all the ‘goings-on’ as he and his crew carry out all the beer cases …..

   “You must be outchya-dayum mind!”

   I don’t have any gay issues live and let live. But, this very incident is why people don’t want gays to adopt or marry. These 2 men aren’t fit to be parents and child services should look into this incident.

   “Veronica Kruschel, 2, drinks water while her twin sister Zola enjoys the Folsom Street Fair environment. Their parents Gary Beuschel and John Kruse (not photographed) watch nearby while having a lunch break.”

   This is one of the many reasons I don’t think gay couples should have the legal right to adoption.

   Scarier part is that this ‘parent’ – John Kruse – is a psychiatrist in the bay area….

   What exactly is he counseling his patients about – when he thinks taking children to a BDSM fair where 1/2 and full-naked people are parading and being publicly flogged?

    Englishqueen, my comment was directed at Rusty. I am new here but I have been an avid reader of Michelle’s work along with the comments you guys post for quite sometime. I am under no misconception about where you stand. Perhaps, I worded my comment incorrectly. My bad.

    My twisted little mind suddenly had this image of “Geoffrey” the Toys R Us giraffe in a leather chaps / vest outfit and one of those black leather biker/cop hats they wear….

    I know this subject has already been discussed top to bottom, but I would just like to add one thing. The comment made by the “parents” of those unfortunate toddlers seems to be implying that Iowans suffer in some way because we have no place to take our children that exposes them to leather fetishes and outdoor masturbation… I am not only angry at the attempt to insult Midwesterners, I am digusted that there are palces where culture is defined in these terms and parents begin exposing children to it so young.

    However, living in a liberal, University town, I must say that these stories do their part in helping me feel a little less uneasy about raising children here. Things could be much worse where I live.

    This crap is almost enough to make it understandable why many Muslims hate our, “culture.”

    That’s not my culture, BOB.
    This disgusting and shameful public display of human degradation is distinctly lacking in “culture”.

    You’re right of course, but it is presented all over the world as a normal part of the way America is. Is there any question about why so much of the world rejects what they are told IS America?

    For all those football fans, many stadiums sell Miller at the games. I called Texas Stadium, home of the Cowboys, and informed them of Miller’s latest sponsorship. We should begin to speak out against Miller. Call!! Call event organizers in your area and ask that they not sell Miller products. For those of you in Texas, the Texas Stadium phone number is (972)785-4000.

    I watched a few of those videos and they were disgusting! And to subject babies to that, not too mention, there were a few older kids I saw too, is beyond my understanding. San Francisco, IMO, is one of the most vile and evil cities to live in.

    You know it’s sad, but true that people from other countries look at America and see this, and the first thing they think is “evil country.” It’s no wonder why they hate us.

    Shame on Those “parents,” if I can even call them that.

    A poster mentioned earlier that Miller wanted to know what people thought about this. Well, since it’s been all over talk shows, talk radio, blogs, etc., it would seem pretty obvious that folks are not happy campers.

    I already don’t drink beer, so I’d be interested in who some of the other sponsors were.

    Can we use the word “perverse” yet to describe this travesty of decency, civility, and respect for human life?

    Are we to be censored by psychiatrists and psychologists because they have deemed homosexuality not to be a mental health issue?

    Enough is enough.

    Oh yeah…they are the ones who most likely let these two DADDIES adopt these little girls in the first place.

    And to think I was still boycotting Miller over sponsoring that whole Illegal Alien support rally thingy. I am SOOOo behind.
