Miller Beer filters out photos of its own company-sponsored public indecency

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 5, 2007 08:08 PM

Yesterday, I noted the richly ironic disclaimer on Miller Lite’s website warning visitors that they may not “post or transmit to this Web site any unlawful, pornographic, obscene, profane, defamatory, libelous, threatening or otherwise objectionable material.”

You know, like the uncensored photos of the Miller-sponsored, Miller-approved Folsom Street Fair.

Now comes word from one of my readers that his e-mail to Miller spokesman Julian Green, which included a few of undercover investigative photojournalist Zombie’s photos attached to it, just bounced back.

The message?

The MessageLabs Email Security System has identified a file attachment in an e-mail sent by you that has been deemed to be potentially unacceptable by either your Domain Administrator or the Recipient’s Domain Administrator.

The subject title of the e-mail was: -
Folsom Street Fair

The recipient address of the e-mail was: -
green.julian@mbco.com

Here’s a snippet of one of the rejected photos. I’ll leave the rest to your imagination. If anyone deserves a public flogging it’s Miller Beer officials:

    Looks like Miller just might be starting to understand the magnitude of their poor business decision in supporting this festival of the depraved. Time to get the popcorn going.

    I sent Miller’s PR person and the main e-mail address an e-mail with the link to Zombie’s photos, and that e-mail appears to have gone through. I suggested they take a look at what they sponsored. I also mentioned their notice that they would not accept “objectionable” material through e-mail, and noted that since these were photos of an event that they sponsored, I assumed they would suspend their policy for a long enough period to look at what, exactly, they had sponsored. Right now I’m holding my breath in anticipation of a quick response (NOT).

    I went to the Miller site to try and find an email address, couldn’t find one anywhere. To me, an organization that doesn’t have contact information on its website is simply ridiculous.

    Hypocrisy Friday!

    It’s always a cheerful end to the week.

    Maybe they’re testing a new beer, Miller Low Life ™. “The Public Urination of Bottled Beer” ™

    “The Beer That Made Milwaukee Infamous” ™ perhaps.

    The ™ is symbolic – T-Shirts away!

    And still no reply from the head media honcho for SAB Miller (Miller’s parent company) in the UK. One would think that some reply would have been issued, especially for a company that lists AIDS awareness as one of their top 10 corporate priorities. Lots of AIDS awareness on Folsom Street.

    Email is a notoriously unreliable medium for communications, often filtered as SPAM or denied because of file attachments. Faxing would be a much more efficient method.

    I called the Miller complaint dept. guy, had a nice long talk, gave him the MM and Zombietime URL’s, and explained that he could get fired for looking at the Zombietime pictures on his company computer. He agreed that was ironic. I encouraged him to spread the word among his fellow employees and look at home if they dare, and then maybe have a talk with their supervisors.

    I also emailed to Julian Green 2 of the more tasteful photos – no rejection yet.

    Last year, during the MM alert about their $30,000 sponsor fee to the illegal alien march, I called 6 of the “leaders” from their corp. web site, including CEO Tom Long. Mr. Long returned my call on Labor Day Sunday and we had a 15 minute cordial talk. He didn’t remember the lesson, though.

    Anyone in the country can email Speaker Pelosi at: AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov

    Remember the SNL skit in November, 2006??

    It is easy to bypass the email blocker that Miller Brewing has in place. Do the following

    1. don’t put Folsom street Fair in the subject line, use something else. Their software has obviously been set up to spot these words in the subject line

    2. The same thing has happened with the images that are being sent. Rename the images to something innocuous such as tastegreat.jpg or lessfilling.jpg the software has been set up to block any email that contains images that have been previously sent.

    I hope many on this board see the larger picture….This flagrant public behavior was sponsered by Miller, but it is also sponsered by ALL of our liberal politians. In the name of tolerance and multi-culturalism, they want to mainstream this activity and call it normal…to the point of having “fairy tales” introduced into our public schools. The next time we see Hillary or Obama reguritating there desire to have the “rainbow” ciriculum introduced into the public school system
    make sure that THEY send their children and grand kids to the same schools…….and remind these same politicians every frigging day w/pictures from the Holsom/Folson Fair!!!

    Rats!!!

    I’ve been brand-loyal to Miller High Life (12pack/bottle only…mmmmmm) for over 30 years now. Any suggestions on how I can continue to purchase without being a hypocrite?

    1) Wear a Larry Craig mask during the purchase process?
    2) Wear bum-less leather chaps to distract people from recognizing my face?
    3) Sit in my car and ask other patrons to “pick me up a 12?”
    4) Switch from drinking beer to smoking crack?
    5) Mail order?

    Suggestions appreciated…

    The SF Comical covered it as if it were Disney on Ice.

    Go to this SFGate link to read the article and see the pictures. Funny how some shots are the same as Zombie’s, but from “the other side”!

    One has to wonder why in liberal culture, “out of the closet” invariably translates into “in your face.” There is nothing remotely erotic about these pictures. Why has the street replaced the bedroom for many of those — not all, I agree — who swing on the other team? I mean, nobody wants to watch a bunch of heteros work out their issues on the pavement — talk about a quick bust! Why do these people get a pass? Is the loathing for straights that deep? I guess the question answers itself. Fortunately, once the adherents to the Religion of Peace take over, only a few more years now, this nonsense will be over. A slight compensation. Do the street bangers know this? Do they care? Obviously not.

    You might also want to write to Penske racing and voice your complaints. They are sponsored by Miller Lite and my guess is they will not be pleased to learn about this festival and Miller’s invlolvement.

    Here’s the contact page.

    I am 68 years old, and I thought I was pretty aware of what goes on in this world, But I must say I have never seen such perversion in my lifetime. I am appalled and I have emailed Miller Brewing Co and Nancy Pelosi.
    This really dismays me.
    Thanks to Michelle the real truth is getting to us.

    To heck with the clueless moon-bats at the HQ–go for the local distributors!

    Does *your* local distributor know what “Mama Miller” is doing for him? No? I bet he’d like to know! Does you local VFW carry Miller? Enlighten them!

    The local yellow pages are your friend on this.
