drinking pepsi
From the AFA Action Alert I received today:
Taking an "in your face" approach, PepsiCo sent a public message of support for the homosexual agenda. The company ran a full-page ad in the June/July issue of Out, a semi-pornographic homosexual magazine. The magazine is filled with page after page of nude and semi-nude photographs of men in suggestive positions.
First I raced home to see what the fuss was all about and found...no nudes. Bummer.
Being summer, there was a swimsuit fashion spread that featured men in swimsuits. Hmmmm...in a fashion mag. Really? Seriously though, using their criteria, any fashion magazine on the racks at your local drugstore qualifies as semi-pornographic. Oh, except it's usually women in those suggestive, semi-nude positions, so maybe that makes it okay?
Even if the AFA were to agree that all fashion mags are semi-pornographic, which they might, I've never been alerted by them about the various companies that promote themselves in Cosmo....or Elle, or Esquire for that matter. I keep an eye on AFA materials to see just what sort of lies they're spreading, and couldn't let this one go without a comment. Once again they are trying to punish a company for a willingness to believe that life should be about love and honesty and not about outdated social mores; and they're using outright lies to try and push their point.
I'm usually a Coca-Cola type of guy, but this is one time when the Cola war needs my support on the other side, so I'm shouting it here from my little corner of the internet soapbox: I am a very out and proud member of the Pepsi generation.Labels: dose of mikey, politics, sharketing, the gay
