Miss Universe Org. Declares War Over Anti-Gay Ad

Posted May 5th 2009 2:44PM by TMZ Staff

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...

106. Ww listen to all thesour grape bs. yeah sure you defended her. yet you fall for the un authenticated photos right off the bat?
The bottom line (no pun intended) is that if you are asked a question on your political position you should be judged on how well you present your position not whether or not you agree with the judge's position.
Miss USA pageant should not allow bias of this type to judge their pageants. What a stupid contest. It should be called the "No freedom of thought in the USA pageant!"
I thought these things always stuck to the World Peace answer to all questions anyway.

107. I was shocked to find someone doesn't know what original marriage is. After thousands of years of male female marriage they haven't heard or seen original marriage. Hmm. This brings up another point. after 6000 to 10,000 years, of male female marriage, all of a sudden marriage between same sexes is correct? Even the ancient Greeks who rampantly practiced homosexuality still reserved marriage for man and wife. But lets not concern ourselves with details. spoiled brats want some new thing forced down everyone elses throat, and you either give it to them or they will throw temper tantrums and fits and thow up signs and fists and shout you down. Whaa!
