Really? Who cares? If you took a picture of Kirdy and showed it to people on the street I bet almost none of them would know he is lds. This is ridiculous.
Last I checked Jesus was the only perfect one. Since none of you are Jesus you should get over yourselves and stop assuming that you can comprehend the situation or that you even know what was going on in his life at the time. He made his own decisions but its not your place to judge him.
I dislike this because people might get the wrong impression for what us LDS people stand for... But I think this helped him finachially not to mention he is a very good man this stupid 30second commercial does not represent who he is and his character. I bet it was hard for him to decide wether to do this commercial.. And gudgeing his character is not what Jesus would do..
@Arsenaleightteen ya know there are several beer commercials that he has done and i dont judge him but it is dissapointing when you think that this is the example he is giving when he is a wide known mormon
I remember seeing this for the first time around strangers, saying "That guy's a Mormon!" And they laughed and made coffee jokes, which didn't really make sense because Beer is way more "no-no" than coffee. and I kinda didn't get it . . .
In church, at conference, or in our publications, we hear endless stories of people faced with a choice of compromising their values, and the rich blessings they reap when they stand firm in spite of the difficult circumstances.
But guess what? The vast majority of others who make the more "sensible," worldly choice... they DON't get cast straight down to hell. Sure, Kirby and countless others miss out on what might have been a great spiritual experience, but that's about it.
When I was in high school Kirby was invited to one of the summer seminary programs. Someone asked about this commercial and his statement was that he isn't one of those big hollywood actors. He has to support his family with what he makes.
As A Mormon my self I'm embarrassed by all the self righteous Mormons who are judging Kirby. Not once did he take a sip in the commercial. Some of you need to get over yourselves and realize you're not better than everyone.
people suck for creating a big deal...last i check, Jesus was the only perfect one. we can't all be Jesus now can we..except for the spaniards named after him...
@dragonvsrobinhood, yes it was a miracle because it happened, and a blessing probably because it got rid of the chance for parasites (which was/is a problem for the water sources of the area).
Oh well, it was a pretty crappy commercial. Not up to anybody's standards (not up to Mormon standards, nor up to Budweiser commercial standards.)
Enough of the name-calling, people. It's a commercial. A commercial. Aren't we all a little better than that? Who cares if you like beer. Who cares if you're Mormon. Once again, a commercial. And a funny one. Beer companies pay very creative people to come up with these funny commercials. Business! America! Yeah!
So he apparently he took this job to be a 'blessing' from Heavenly Father so he could feed his family. Uh...yeah. God gave you a job hocking an immoral thing...I don't think so. And if you wanted to feed your family so badly: Get a job.
@DragonVsRobinHood Wine as used in The Bible referred to anything from grape juice to the fermented alcoholic beverage known as wine today. Regardless; wine, last I checked, is not beer. Wine has a marginal nutritional value, beer doesn't.
@ZehnWaters If the argument at hand were nutritional value, we'd have quite a few more actors to angrily complain about. Or we could maturely evaluate this situation in an honest light. Actors portray characters. It's their profession. The Marriotts are LDS. Should we be accusing them of peddling alcohol and pornography? But if you insist that Kirby has sinned, why not extend compassion to a wandering sheep instead of getting him in your sights and blowing his brains out?
@DragonVsRobinHood I do accuse them of peddling alcohol and pornography. I haven't "[gotten] him in my sights and [blown] his brains out" as you say. I'm merely pointed out an incorrect choice. And how can I "extend compassion to a wandering sheep" when I don't even know them? Besides, how is it showing compassion to not mention when one is taking a wrong path? Is it showing compassion to stand aside and let someone make a wrong decision?
@ZehnWaters Perhaps you can't think of ways to be compassionate, but you've certainly gone out of your way to submit rude and angry comments. I think it might be time to take another look at Matthew 7 before coming back to the conversation to cast more stones.
@DragonVsRobinHood I've not said anything angry. Rude, perhaps, but not angry. Certainly no more rude than what you've said to me. Besides, I've made no assessments of him personally (save that his actions technically make him a hypocrite, which they do). I've also not encouraged violence on his behalf (as was the case with the scripture in question). I'm not saying anyone should boycott him. I'm calling his actions into question, something we are allowed to do.
@ZehnWaters There is no violence encouraged in Matt. 7. I'm simply trying to help good christian folk around the world realize that they're not gaining any points in heaven for calling other people sinners. God isn't going to care at the end of the day what you think about anyone else. But you should probably care what He thinks of you.
@DragonVsRobinHood Perhaps not in Matt. 7, but you did bring up the 'casting stones' comment from the story of the woman taken in adultery, which is what I was speaking about. And speaking of Matt. 7, perhaps you should take a look at it again. It says we'll be judged by the same standards we judge others; I have every intention of being judged by the same standards I judge others.
@ZehnWaters You should be careful what you wish for.
Parting words:
The need to judge and decide who is and isn't in good standing with God is what makes Christians so unlikeable sometimes. It's not our job to point fingers. Aside from being a generally unlikeable characteristic, it's counterproductive and a huge obstacle to spiritual progression. If we spend all our time condemning, where does true humility and self improvement come in?
@DragonVsRobinHood I'm not judging who is or isn't in good standing with God. I'm merely judging his actions. How am I to improve myself if I can't even judge what is and isn't good behaviour?
@ZehnWaters Don't tell me you wouldn't pick up a beer and smile for thousands of dollars. I mean, it's not like they're making you drink it or anything. And it's just beer anyway, it's not some immoral thing. Sure, it's not the best thing for you but it's just a drink that people in the world like. I'm not a drinker myself but I don't view people who drink to be immoral or make bad choices. Some people drink, some people don't. So what?
@davcoolbeans Actually I *wouldn't* pick up a beer and smile for thousands of dollars. It doesn't matter that I'm not drinking it, I'm encouraging others to do so. You may not think it's immoral, but Kirby (and myself) belong to a religion that *does* think it's immoral, which technically makes Kirby a hypocrite. For those who bring up Kirby's smoking in 'Saints and Soldiers', such is an irrelevant comparison; Kirby wasn't encouraging others to smoke by being in that role.
@ZehnWaters I understand you are part of a religion that doesn't approve of drinking, heck, I live all around LDS people and the way you and many LDS folk around me come off is a something *I* disapprove of. There is so much religious discrimination here where Mormons judge someone just because they are from a different culture or religion, or if they drink. I know alcohol isn't the best thing to drink but you should never judge someone because of it, and especially don't judge someone of your
@davcoolbeans Why *wouldn't* I judge the actions of someone from my own religion? They're the ones who should know better. Again, I'm not judging them, I'm judging their actions. I've said nothing about Kirby himself (save, again, that his actions make him a hypocrite). I've said nothing of you or your drinking habits, nor would I. Besides, why aren't we allowed to disapprove of things? You obviously reserve that right yourself. Aren't you stating just now how you disapprove of my actions?
@davcoolbeans I don't think you really understand the LDS religion. If he is a "faithful" member, then he made a promise not to drink alcohol and has been counseled to avoid the appearance of doing so.
@davcoolbeans People get all hypersensitive about being judged; when you are doing things publicly, your actions are going to be scrutinized. Everybody is judgmental in some respects. I won't judge Kirby's character because I don't know him, but I am irritated because he gave the impression in the past that he was a faithful member.
You know I love Kirby's music and I don't judge him for acting in a beer commercial.
What he did though was promote something that we don't believe in. It's a thing called "Integrity" which we all come short of..... So just stop judging and start loving!
One last comment: library.lds.org/nxt/gateway.dll/Magazines/Ensign/2001.htm/ensign%20may%202001.htm/the%20work%20goes%20on.htm (wanted to just quote it, but it's a bit too long)
I think I am not the perfect judge, that's someone else's job ^. :) Heck, I make worse mistakes all the time, so I'd be a hypocrite even if I did. :P (still gonna dislike the vid though, alcohol has helped destroy a lot of lives in my family)
The negative reaction to this commercial is disgusting. I left the church under the same pressure from all of you "perfect" ambassadors of the one true faith. To the guy who condemned Kirby in one post and then bore his testimony in the next, I say SHAME ON YOU. And shame on everyone whose own moral code makes them believe they're in a position to judge ANYONE for ANYTHING.
It is wrong and not "Christ-like." Again... disgusting.
Also, DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO USE PUNCTUATION ON HERE?

@gentrylee12 Just because the followers of a religion can be idiots (and believe you me the mormon and every other church has em) doesn't make the religion untrue. :) I do agree that judging others is not Christ-like, for even Christ did not condemn the woman who was accused of adultery. Making suggestions (Go and sin no more) isn't necessarily a bad thing, it can in fact be a great way to change a life, but ya it gets annoying after a while if everyone keeps repeating the same thing.
@gentrylee12 The best idea is to make a suggestion (if you're a personal friend or whatever) than strive to set a good example. You will only hurt the situation by forcing your views on someone. As you said, God is the final judge, who are we to put ourselves on that pedestal? To answer your second question, it's the internet. Do you expect them to? :P lol (JUDGER!! xD jk)
so he does a beer commercial. and? so he smokes a cig in "Saints and Soldiers." AND? He's makin money and doin his thing. And he's doin a lot better than these judgmental momos helping the world to see our church in a better light. Beer and all
I think that the commercial represents very well Kirby´s personality, he is not rude to anyone ... so he took the beer and goes away ... obviously he was not going to drink it , he was going to throw it, or something!
To all the people ranting about how bad of a person Kirby is for doing this, I say, look in the mirror. Come on, take a long long look, and if you find that you're perfect, then you're still a frickin hypocrite.
I don't remember people flipping out when he pretended to smoke on Saints and Soldiers... It is obvious that he is trying to find the stash of beer in order to break it on the street.
In response to this commercial, Heyborne said this in an interview with Deseret News’ Mormon Times: "I'm a temple-worthy member that loves his wife and kids, and fulfills his calling at church and does his home teaching. And yet I'm going to play characters that might have moral dilemmas, or do a commercial -- or whatever it is -- because my job is the way that I provide for my family."
I'm not going to judge Kirby. I wouldn't have done it. I knew a mission president who owned several Outback restaurants. Well, they have bars, don't they and are open Sunday. So, where do you draw the line? Also knew a faithful member who owned a casino. It's a personal choice. I wonder though, if Kirby will ever act again? Did he "sell his soul" when he chose this commercial?
okay i understand that he's just acting and i still love him and everything but... i would refuse a beer commercial job no matter how much they paid me. jus sayin
WHAT IS THIS GUYS PROBLEM HE MADE SACRED COVENANTS NOT ONLY AT BAPTISM BUT IN THE TEMPLE ASWELL! A QUESTION ONE MUST ASK, WAS KIRBY WEARING HIS TEMPLE GARMENTS IN THIS COMERCIAL! ITS TRUE HE IS AN ACTOR BUT EVERY MEMBER TAKES UPON THEMSELVES THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST! HE HAS AN EXAMPLE TO SET AND STANDARDS TO UPHOLD!!!
I THINK KIRBY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF! HE IS AN LDS MEMBER HE MADE A COVENANT WITH THE LORD AT BAPTISM! HE ALSO MADE EVEN GREATER COVENANTS IN THE TEMPLE HE IS ENDOWED AND EVEN WENT ON A MISSION! THE BIG DEAL IS THAT HE LOWERED HIS STANDARDS AND SET A BAD EXAMPLE, WE LDS MEMBERS HAVE A DUTY TO THE LORD TO SET A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS! I WONDER IF KIRBY'S BISHOP HAD A TALK WITH HIM, WHICH HE SHOULD HAVE! YES HE IS AN ACTOR BUT HIS COVENANTS WITH GOD ARE MORE IMPORTANT THEN HIS ACTING CAREER
@mormonguy777 I ALSO WANT TO BEAR MY TESTIMONY THAT THE LDS CHUCH IS TRUE AND THAT THE BOOK OF MORMON IS TRUE AND THAT HEAVENLY FATHER SENT HIS SON TO DIE FOR US AND THAT THE PRIESTHOOD IS RESTORED ON EARTH, THE SAME PRIESTHOOD THAT KIRBY WAS ORDAINED TOO! I KNOW OUR REDEEMER LIVES AND I KNOW THERE IS A LIVING GOD GOD OF ALL! I SAY THESE THINGS IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN
Someone sent me this link. Well, wether you think Kirby was right or wrong in doing this performance, that depends on how developed your conscience is. I personally think that him participating in this commercial was a smart move for him -taking for granted that he is truly faithful to his principles -. This is true not just for the mormon church, but also for any other organization: you, as an individual, represent the organization you belong to. Anyway, who am I to judge, right?
I met Kirby Heyborne, and he is still the same guy, and nothings changed of him because he did this commercial. I honestly didn't like how he chose to do this commericial even if it's "acting" , but why act something your not?? Still think he's a great person though.
@yumyum247 HE HAS A DUTY TO SET A GOOD EXAMPLE HE MADE COVENANTS WITH THE MOST HIGH GOD!!! SACRED COVENANTS! LIKE OTHER LDS MEMBERS HE IS SET APART FROM THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD! THATS THE BIG PROBLEM IS HE'S NOT FUFILLING HIS COVENANT TO THE LORD ANY LDS MEMBER KNOWS THAT
bottom line, he let money get to his head and may have wanted to be seen across a larger audience. Either way, his family wasn't starving and this wasn't a life and death decision. it was a stupid one.
Steve Young is mormon and was paid to play football on Sundays and everyone still loves him and thinks he's amazing why is this any different. Both were "promoting sin". Mormons like make a big deal out of stupid stuff.
@kelseybee13 Also, he paid 50,000 to go against Prop 8. He donated money so same sex marriage could be legal. Obviously it didnt work because Prop 8 passed.
That was his decision to be in the commercial and he has to face the consequeces (ie BYU not letting him perform there). If he needed to feed his family then we shouldn't judge. I personally wouldn't premote the sale of alcohol but he did and we should just leave him alone for doing so.
Kirby, of his own volition, was paid, and worked, to promote the sales of an alcoholic beverage, forbidden by his religion, knowing that he has impressionable fans (and critics) of all ages. Would I do the same? Depends on how bad my kids needed food; I'd hope God would understand, but I wouldn't expect it from others. Case in point.
I'm Mormon and I don't see anything wrong with him being in this commercial, I mean, come on...he didn't drink it! If I needed to feed my family, then I would act in this commercial too. It's just like working on Sunday...if you have to do it to feed your family, then you need to do it.
@jhjh2005 I'm mormon too, but why help promote a cause you don't believe in and promote people to drink if your mormon? I don't really care that he did the comercial, but I don't think his family was starving.....
Miller Lite is mostly water anyway. The commercial doesn't even make any sense. Kirby and the other dude sense the keg being tapped get all the way over there and then take a bottle? There are many more inconsistencies besides having a Mormon in a beer commercial...that's all I'm saying.
I'm trying to be like Jesus...in all that I do and say. This is more for the funny comments that I've read. I'm not perfect, far from it, neither is anyone who reads this. Let's get the beam out of our eyes first.
AaroPajari is totally right. Just because someone murders someone else in a play doesnt mean they are in any way supporting murder themselves, its just a part they play.
@AaroPajari So I can do a bunch of sex scenes as an actor throughout my life and then say 'oh, don't worry everybody I was just pretending. I wouldn't do that stuff in real life.'
He may not drink alcohol in 'real life' but he sure is giving the appearance that it doesn't bother him to pretend. People get upset because they want consistency and they probably painted some perfect image of Kirby in their mind that was shattered once they saw the Miller Lite ad.
Amazing how many Mormons come on youtube to watch beer commercials and then talk about someone else being a bad example. He was just doing his job. You are all hypocrites.
It's not my job to judge anybody. I just don't agree with his decision. I was taught by the missionaries that I shouldn't do anything against my views and norms and I shouldn't let myself into any activity that encourages me to act against the gospel. They also told me when in times of temptations I need to rely on my faith and it will help me however tempting a situation is. So that's what I believe in and that's what I try to live according to.
What if your ox fell in the mire on a Sunday would you leave it to die or would you go save it? Im say this bcuz I know Kirby and have worked for him every day the summer when this came out and it was hard work because people viewed it agents our religion, he was only trying to feed his family if that was the only job you could take would you take it?. Can you even guess how much money he got for it?
Kirby is a star and this is work. We like to corner him into our small LDS market, but he is an actor, implying that he is acting. Pretty simple to me.
you need to be a better example. People like you is what kept me from joining the church for so long. You need to follow the Prophets and be loving not judgemental. Lok he has a family to support and he cant support them just acting in LDS movies. He didnt want to but as a actor sometimes you have to take what comes. I dont find anyhting wrong with this. So lay off
whats a stage cigarette? please enlighten me on this magical object that allows you to inhale and exhale mystical smoke that does not have any effect on the body. I am truly interested. O_o
you dont inhale anything as far as i know...otherwise they wouldn't be able to use it in an AUDITORIUM with people who DON'T SMOKE. It blows out a chalky substance that looks like smoke. they may have not used that in the movie but there ARE stage cigarettes.
Hm, I personally wouldn't choose to do it, but I think it's his choice. Stephenie Meyer uses language in Twilight, but that doesn't mean she does in real life.
It's not up to anybody besides Kirby whether he should have done this or not.
He did the commercial, so get over it.
People judging whether others are living their lives right - like what so many people are doing here - is a big reason why many people feel uncomfortable in the church
I was confused and disappointed with the commercial It made me start to think about my ethics class and I recall that a marketing student was offered a job to represent Bud Light. Even though the account was huge he turned it down knowing he could not compromise his standards In return he was blessed with an account equal to that of the Bud light account I wish Kirby could have taken the same approach this student did I am sure he would have been just as blessed as the young marketing student
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
haha...you Utards crack me up.
I know this one guy, who was offered a lucrative position for an entertainment company that produced R-rated movies. He turned it down because he had the faith that something more holier than thou, I mean, that position...would come up. He waited for months...until nothing came up and his wife left with their malnutritioned children to her mothers.
You think 1 faith promoting story establishes doctrine. Relax...it's just a commercial...and Kirby's livelihood.
I'm just disappointed with his decision. Too many people know who he is and what he says he believes in, and it just doesn't look like it is that important to him. It looks like money is more important than being an example. It's just a line I think he shouldn't have crossed.
in my opinion if this changes any ones opinion on kirby then thats there fault. Kirby doesn't have to live up to any ones standards but himself. so ya he did a beer commercial it doesn't mean that he went and drank one. I guess what i am saying is he can do what he wants i know he is lds and that doesn't change anything
@breale19 i agree, but out of all commercials, why the beer commercial? i mean he know he mormon and clearly mormons dont drink alcohol..doing this will grab attention and not in a good way because i mean come on he was best actor in "Best 2 Years" which was a great and popular mormon movie..just seems a little odd
I personally think all these comments about how he's ruining his reputation and stuff because he's a mormon.. it's truely stupid. He's not perfect, noone's perfect. and besides, it's not like he's drinking the beer. it's done. are you going to change that by posting a pointless comment on youtube? no.. seriously.. be quiet
Now let me get this right, If you make covenants to live a certain way, but encourage others to break theirs, thats okay? Does the saying Jack Mormon ring a bell for you? Well if you can't live the standards just lower them then. Cool
ok so my personal opinion on this is that: I would not have done it since a lot of people look up to him because he's mormon but i think it was his decision and no one should judge him.
Def agree w/ Jonas!! I'm LDS too, done lots of things wrong in my life(worse than THIS), but I'm HUMAN! I make mistakes, repent and do the best I can to live life the way I was taught! Still love Kirby though! SINGLES WARD! lol
u know wat! I am a mormon and even though this wasn't the best choice in the world, I think we should still love him! if he repented personally and didn't do it again, then we shouldn't shun him. we are mormons, not amish.
so what if its just acting, i think it was very stupid of him to go and do something like this, when he know we all got eyes on him being a good mormon boy. This totally messed up his reputation....i still love him tho....
Why do people judge him for this? He has to make a living? So I live in Utah (Yes I'm Mormon) and a company used his face for a Missionary type billboard, and once they found out he did this, they immediately changed it to another person. It's really stupid.
you know, this is just a guy trying to put food on the table for his family. there are plenty lds people who own gas stations... and guess what??! they sell beer there!They are just making a living! SO CHILL OUT!
i agree mormons ( and i am mormon) are making a big deal out of this just cuz it wasnt LDS produced. i mean in the RM will swenson was drinking beer & having sex with sluty girls, and he's LDS but no one said a thing about it.
It's all about what's being promoted - in the ad it was promoting beer - the movie wasn't promoting alcohol or sex. I agree people are making a big deal of it, but get a valid argument.
kirby never was in a beer commercial. kirby is to good.

I'm simply trying to help good christian folk around the world realize that they're not gaining any points in heaven for calling other people sinners. God isn't going to care at the end of the day what you think about anyone else. But you should probably care what He thinks of you.
DragonVsRobinHood 6 months ago
@DragonVsRobinHood Perhaps not in Matt. 7, but you did bring up the 'casting stones' comment from the story of the woman taken in adultery, which is what I was speaking about. And speaking of Matt. 7, perhaps you should take a look at it again. It says we'll be judged by the same standards we judge others; I have every intention of being judged by the same standards I judge others.

@ZehnWaters You should be careful what you wish for.
Parting words:
The need to judge and decide who is and isn't in good standing with God is what makes Christians so unlikeable sometimes. It's not our job to point fingers. Aside from being a generally unlikeable characteristic, it's counterproductive and a huge obstacle to spiritual progression. If we spend all our time condemning, where does true humility and self improvement come in?
DragonVsRobinHood 6 months ago
@DragonVsRobinHood I'm not judging who is or isn't in good standing with God. I'm merely judging his actions. How am I to improve myself if I can't even judge what is and isn't good behaviour?

@ZehnWaters Don't tell me you wouldn't pick up a beer and smile for thousands of dollars. I mean, it's not like they're making you drink it or anything. And it's just beer anyway, it's not some immoral thing. Sure, it's not the best thing for you but it's just a drink that people in the world like. I'm not a drinker myself but I don't view people who drink to be immoral or make bad choices. Some people drink, some people don't. So what?
davcoolbeans 6 months ago
@davcoolbeans Actually I *wouldn't* pick up a beer and smile for thousands of dollars. It doesn't matter that I'm not drinking it, I'm encouraging others to do so. You may not think it's immoral, but Kirby (and myself) belong to a religion that *does* think it's immoral, which technically makes Kirby a hypocrite. For those who bring up Kirby's smoking in 'Saints and Soldiers', such is an irrelevant comparison; Kirby wasn't encouraging others to smoke by being in that role.
ZehnWaters 6 months ago
@ZehnWaters I understand you are part of a religion that doesn't approve of drinking, heck, I live all around LDS people and the way you and many LDS folk around me come off is a something *I* disapprove of. There is so much religious discrimination here where Mormons judge someone just because they are from a different culture or religion, or if they drink. I know alcohol isn't the best thing to drink but you should never judge someone because of it, and especially don't judge someone of your

@davcoolbeans Why *wouldn't* I judge the actions of someone from my own religion? They're the ones who should know better. Again, I'm not judging them, I'm judging their actions. I've said nothing about Kirby himself (save, again, that his actions make him a hypocrite). I've said nothing of you or your drinking habits, nor would I. Besides, why aren't we allowed to disapprove of things? You obviously reserve that right yourself. Aren't you stating just now how you disapprove of my actions?

@gentrylee12 Just because the followers of a religion can be idiots (and believe you me the mormon and every other church has em) doesn't make the religion untrue. :) I do agree that judging others is not Christ-like, for even Christ did not condemn the woman who was accused of adultery. Making suggestions (Go and sin no more) isn't necessarily a bad thing, it can in fact be a great way to change a life, but ya it gets annoying after a while if everyone keeps repeating the same thing.

In response to this commercial, Heyborne said this in an interview with Deseret News’ Mormon Times: "I'm a temple-worthy member that loves his wife and kids, and fulfills his calling at church and does his home teaching. And yet I'm going to play characters that might have moral dilemmas, or do a commercial -- or whatever it is -- because my job is the way that I provide for my family."

I'm not going to judge Kirby. I wouldn't have done it. I knew a mission president who owned several Outback restaurants. Well, they have bars, don't they and are open Sunday. So, where do you draw the line? Also knew a faithful member who owned a casino. It's a personal choice. I wonder though, if Kirby will ever act again? Did he "sell his soul" when he chose this commercial?
