The Universal Society of Hinduism is protesting a brewery's
release of Ganesh beer. The Society's President said that
it is insensitive to the Hindu religion to use a Hindu deity to
sell beer.
This is a good reminder that invoking religion to sell products
may not sit well with some, so it's important to consider the
potential PR and other issues up front.
