I don’t think Kirby is a bad person, but I don’t agree with his decision either. How can you teach people not to drink and then turn around and in effect endorse it by doing a commercial to promote it?

I would be nice to live in a world where professions did not interfere with beliefs.

Right, because Mormons have such a big influence on beer consumption trends.

I highly doubt that the beer company had any idea, nor did they care that he was a prominent Mormon actor…

You must be really naive if you think the beer industry didn’t know exactly what they were doing when they asked a very prominent mormon actor to star in their beer commercials. They were hoping for this kind of reaction. They are trying to generate that type of interest. It helps sell their product and gives them free advertising to have all these people talking about it. And we are all playing right into their hands. Doesn’t the word of wisdom say something about “evil and conspiring men”? Kirby was a pawn in their scheme and he made money for doing it. I’m sure it was very hard to pass up the amount of money he got for it. We have all made mistakes that we regret later. Unfortunately for Kirby IF he regrets doing this it was a very public mistake.

This is a really stupid topic. I have built bars before where they drink beer. Is that wrong? No, I was using my skills to feed my family. It’s exactly the same to me. When my job trailer is in front of the bar that is being built, it’s telling the world that I build bars, not that I like beer. He is telling the world that he acts in commercials, not that he drinks beer.
