Miss Universe Org. Declares War Over Anti-Gay Ad

The Miss Universe Organization just told us they've fired off a cease and desist letter to the National Organization for Marriage -- after NOM used footage from the Miss USA 2009 pageant in an anti-gay marriage commercial.

The commercial -- which is currently still playing on NOM's website -- uses Carrie Prejean's pageant response to the gay marriage question as a selling point for the ad.

This doesn't mean the MUO is taking sides on the issue -- just saying NOM can't use the copyrighted material to promote their agenda.

Story developing...

31. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion just be prepared what the consequences are when you attack any large group. I dont feel sorry for this cow. I never heard of her before this and in matter of weeks she will disappear. Who the hell cares what she thinks about who should be married. Not only will her azz be NOBODY in a few short weeks but she has blackballed any chance in the future. Sometimes we put our foot in our mouths and that goes for you idiots on this blog.
Gay people are in every walk and aspect of life. The person who signs your damn pay check is probably gay. The very clothes including drawers you put on your stank azzes is made by gay people. Get the HELL over yourselves as Gay people were here from the beginning and will be here after every one of you No life bastards are cold in the grave. Get over your damn selves. As for this cow. She is toast. there are many gay people in high places so you should Watch your mouth as you dont know who the hell your talking to and it can not only cost you your job but your monkey ass will not be Hired ANYWHERE! Gays have Money and Power. and thats all you need in this sorry assed world. Oh dont bother to send me a hate blog. I will not be back on to see it or even read it.

32. "18. Every one knows being Gay is a Mental disorder."

No, everyone doesn't. Public school children are taught that what they do is normal. Get freakin"real!

Our president lives in the real world and thinks "civil unions" are the way to go with they're disfunction. All homosexuals want is the label "marriage". They don't qualify!

33. This is ridiculous. The question should never have been asked, but she answered in her honest opinion. It should have ended there. She dragged it out and made it a holy war and Perez made it an issue. The crusade is not part of being Miss California and should not be carried on. She has a right as a private citizen to go out and campaign against or for anything she chooses, but not as Miss California. She should either stop talking publicly or give up her title and become a spokesperson for marriage. She can not do both while representing the State of California.

34. I agree, our society is so backwards. So many people are for freedom of speech until it contradicts what they choose to support. It is, in my opinion the "that pathetic piece of your mamas chit" on this cite so far, are the people continuing to bash Ms. Preej and her religious stance on this topic. I believe a marriage consist only between a man and woman. Let it be known that I don't care if you do take offense to it. As a matter of fact, take offense. There is no coincidence that this question was asked to a woman who attended a christian school, from the state of California....by a homosexual man. MUO is concerned about NOM promoting there own agenda, but disregaurd the agenda that MUO and Perez Hilton is trying to shove down America's throat. Give me a break.

35. it's rediculous that perez hilton became a judge in the first place and that's such a controversial question, it doesn't belong on the miss american stage.

that set aside, the controversial photo, isn't sexual by any means unless you're a prude.

and furthermore, if 80% of americans claim to be christian (which they do) how can gay marriage even be an issue?

36. I'm so glad NOM has found the perfect person to represent their hypocrisy. They must be so proud of her.

37. I will lay money on the table that the big 'ol fat queen perez is behind this in some way! What is really funny is the fact that his day will come....................just a matter of time until the disgusting pics of some very unflattering perez items hit the internet. They are coming and he will have to find a rock to hide under!

38. Are you surprised that MUO is getting this much attention and media coverage? The only reason they even had Perez Hilton on the show was to promote controversy. Everywhere that man goes it follows. It's only natural Trump would have a joker like that on. He needs the publicity to promote and sell himself. hello!

39. This is redicuolous. She gave her answer to a question that should not have been asked and now she is making a crusade over it. Perez should keep his mouth shut and stop making a beauty contest a political issue. She isn't the President, representing the U.S.. She should either give up her title and then go around speaking at functions or stop talking until her title goes to next years winner of Miss California. They are both wrong for what they are doing. Freedom of speech is when you are speaking for yourself, not for an organization that you have no right to represent personal opinions.

40. 27. "Gay people are in every walk and aspect of life. The person who signs your damn pay check is probably gay. The very clothes including drawers you put on your stank azzes is made by gay people. Get the HELL over yourselves as Gay people were here from the beginning and will be here after every one of you No life bastards are cold in the grave."

You really are in need of DNA modification you poor thing. Do you homosexual males have a sense of smell?

41. I must say that us straight folks are being particularly stupid on this issue.

42. Yawn... this whole controversy is contrived... if it wasn't they would have sent a takedown notice last week...

43. Homos are so sensitive....

44. Hilton and Shanna Moakler are both behind this.......................go read their twitter pages! They have both been trying to dig any and all dirt up on Miss California, as they possibly can. Donald rump said this morning on the View, "the question should NOT have been asked'.

Posted at 4:11PM on May 5th 2009 by perez is DONE!

45. I think she had a right to say what she wanted to say just ilke anyone else but NOM does not have a right to use Material that is Not theres. If they want her on video saying what she said they should ask her to do it for their camera's and not use copy righted footage.

People waving the freedom of speech flags are completely clueless when it comes to copyrighted material. Stop waving the freedom of speech flag around just for your own retarded agenda. She said that on Miss USA Pageant's television show the footage of what she said is theirs like any other television shows.
