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...

61. Has anybody ever considered that the management and ownership (Donald Trump) of the Miss Universe Pageant purposely put that questin out there during the pageant just ot get publicity?

62. "This doesn't mean the MUO is taking sides on the issue --"
Yeah, that's believable.
It's very clear what side they're on.

63. She's nothing but a lying whore! She lied when she said she did
not pose nude or partially nude. Yep---a Christian lying hypocritical whore.
If you're gonna quote Donald Frump, errr Trump, from this morning--
you should also mention that he said there was no way Ms Whore Cali
could've won! They went and counted all the score cards--and she LOST!!

64. gays are using marriage to push their agenda's. If it was really about love they would be happy with civil unions. THEY JUST WANT TO SHOVE GAYNESS DOWN EVERYONES THROATS!! If you want to be a pervert, fine, leave marriage out of it.

65. Sure, like Donald Trump would be honest about it.
You can take your childish insults directed towards Carrie and shove them up your ass, too.

The pictures are fine. Sorry, but there's no nudity. These are poses you'd see in a JC Penny's ad.

67. Why is someone anti-gay if they don't believe in gay marriage?

The President DID say the same thing Carrie said during the campaign. Google videos for Obama Prejean.

71. Unconstitutional. The use of any video is considered "fair use" in political and civic discourse, of which the gay marriage debate qualifies. The Miss Universe organisation has no say in those ads.

72. GAY people ALREADY have Civil Unions--thats fine by me---They can do and live anyway they please-BUT-just dont call it Marriage--- Thats for a man and a women--- If they get the Law they want--that is, Calling a union between 2 men or 2 women a "MARRIAGE", Thats ridiculous!!!! Then, what follows in law next??? A man can marry his Sheep or Rabbit, A women can marry a man AND a WOMEN? A threesome can get married - A brother and a sister? It can go on and on-

73. Well it looks like Carrie Preteens past is coming back to haunt her. My best friend said she had " Gay Sex " with Miss Preteen when they were kids, as we all know " Gay Sex " is different from " Straight Sex "

Everyone has the right to stand up and believe what there want if you like it or not.. Its called free america.. not gay america

75. #19 DUH (good name, btw). We call her a hypocrite because, like many bible-thumpers, she picks and chooses which of the rules should apply and which shouldn't as is convenient to her life. What about the body being a temple? How is it OK that she carved up hers so she could have big titties? What about only sharing your nakedness with your betrothed? My biggest problem, however, isn't with her. She's just another sheep blindly following and believing what her mommy and daddy told her. The issue I have is the right-leaning morons that jumped on her bandwagon and made her their covergirl without having a clue as to what kind of person she really is. Kind of like when the abstinence brigade jumped on Palin's wagon before they found out she couldn't even convince her own daughter to use BIRTH CONTROL. So, now, we have one more young girl raising another baby, probably on her way to public assitance. Yeah, that's the ticket!
