Miller has also had to apologize for financing the pro-illegal alien lobby…and we’re not talking Cinco de Mayo. Miller sponsored a pro-amnesty march in Chicago in 2006 to the tune of $30,000, and has pledged financial “support” for scholarships for illegal aliens and other similar causes, which makes one wonder if their marketing department hasn’t been over-sampling their own product: the white, working class Miller http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=1937 the company depends on reacted with an unprecedented outcry.

The Miller Brewing Company issued a formal apology on Friday for any offense caused by the use of its logos on a poster promoting the http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=1878’s painting of “The Last Supper” with half-naked homosexual sadomasochists.
In an email statement sent to Cybercast News Service by Senior Manager of Media Relations Julian Green, the company said it “has taken action to ensure that such an incident will not happen again.””Miller has just completed an exhaustive audit of its marketing procedures for approving local marketing and sales sponsorships, and it is implementing plans to tighten its compliance procedures,” the release stated.
“The company has received assurances from its local distributor in San Francisco and from Folsom Street Events that future marketing materials and event activities will fully comply with Miller’s marketing policies and procedures,” the statement added.
“We deeply regret that we did not adhere to our own policies with regard to the Folsom Street Fair,” said Miller Senior Vice President Nehl Horton. “We apologize to everyone we offended as a result. We hope people will forgive us for this serious error and have confidence we will not repeat it.”
“Miller Brewing was never afforded the opportunity to review our Fair poster before it was printed and distributed,” said Andy Copper, board president of Folsom Street Events, which sponsors the “world’s largest leather event” every year. “The approval was made by a third party without Miller’s knowledge and consent.”
Copper also issued an apology on behalf of the organization which distributed the controversial poster.
