Miss Universe to anti-gay group: Stop using Carrie Prejean pageant footage

Carrie-prejean-6  

TMZ reports that Miss Universe Organization has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the National Organization for Marriage.

Seems the Miss Universe organizers are not too thrilled with NOM using footage from the Miss USA 2009 pageant in an anti-gay marriage commercial.

The commercial is playing on NOM's website  and uses Prejean's controversial response to the gay marriage question to back up the group's message.

This doesn't mean the MUO is taking sides. Although we kinda think it might be.

But NOM cannot legally use copyrighted pageant material to promote its social agenda.

The NOM shows how clueless they are in the film industry. It is an organization that is doing something that it shouldn't be doing. It will be a pleasure to watch them fall from their less than graceful horse, and they can take the religious blond dingbat/zealot with them!

Typical Christian: a bigot and hypocrite.

Welcome to the America where individual opinions are no longer accepted unless they conform to the agenda being sponsored. Organizations consider it their right to cram their beliefs down our throats. Morality goes to the highest bidder. Are you for sale or do you stand for something? Stand for what you believe and respect others for doing the same. That way we know where to stand instead of living in lies and compromises that provide no foundation at all. It's very sad to see intelligent creatures acting so stupid.

Ms. Prejean is much too opinionated regarding the institution of marriage. She should use her energy towards other social issues that matter.

I stand up and cheer for what she did. The homosexual terrorists will stop at nothing to ruin the lives of whoever disagrees with them. STOP SHOVING HOMOSEXUALITY DOWN OUR THROATS!!!!!!!!! IM SICK OF IT!!!!!!! This is not a civil rights issue, its a LIFESTYLE issue. Those who choose that LIFESTYLE have to deal with the consequences of that LIFESTYLE which is depression, drug use, and disease. As far as religion goes, there is not one religion that approves of that LIFESTYLE. Wait until the muslims are running the show in America. The gays will beg for the Christians to help them when heads start to roll!!!!! And for the "oprah/God doesnt judge" fans, Jesus/God doesnt approve of gayness!!!!! Its in the Book!!!! Read it!!!! REPENT!!!!!!! Oprah is a self righteous hypocrite - self glorifying hound leading the way to hell. GO CARRIE PREJEAN!!! DONT LET THAT DISGUSTING WORM HILTON STEAL YOUR CROWN!!!!!!!!!! PROP 8 RULES!!!!!!!

So nice to see the hate filled anti-Christians doing their best to spew tortured views of the world to their adoring media friends. I am certain that Miss California will soon be losing her crown because of her stand against gay marriage. So much for the First Amendment.

Haha another big mouth Christian will loose morals when it comes to their own behavior.

LOL, goodbye crown !

I think everyone is missing the point here. Go look at the photo - is this really a big deal? How do we even know she was topless? Maybe there were pasties. Its a sexy, but classy and tasteful picture: not pornography.

I respect the opinions of both sides of this issue, and I don't see why anyone cares this much about gay marriage to start with (disclosure: I voted no on 8). We all must live with the consequences of our statements: but she is young: give her a break, let her enjoy the "runner up" thing and move on to the next issue/ hypocrisy.

It is amazing the clown asked a hot question and doesn't have the decency to graciously accept her respectable answer. He responds by calling her a "*****"...I respond by calling him dork, idiot, mush for brains and generally one of the nastiest people I've ever see in the media.

He, of all people, should respect her right to choose her beliefs as he probably screams and cries if someone doesn't respect his - the hypocrite.

As for the "nude" photo - please, it is no way distasteful. People need to get lives.

This post is either knowingly false or else displays Miss Snead's misunderstanding of the Fair Use principle of copyright law as is referenced in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

What Ms. Snead does not say is that the NOM has the right, whether they use it or not, to challenge the Miss Universe Org. for the incredibly small portion of the pageant footage that they used.

This is why Perez Hilton's spurious claim for copyright was rebuffed by NOM's lawyers.

The faux 'scandal' about the 'nude' photo is desperation at its worst. Embarrassing on the part of the Perez Hilton side.
