We enjoyed your products. They have made a great contribution to health and a healthy lifestyle.
However we cannot abide your TV spokesperson Whoopie Goldberg and her crude, vulgar, hate filled rhetoric against our President. As long as Whoopi is a spokesperson for your products we will elect to use products from other companies such as Carbsmart, etc..
Continue to support this lightning rod and her hatefilled rhetoric as you lose corporate profits.
Goodbye!
Even if she wasn't a traitor, you'd have to question the wisdom of using Whoopi Goldberg as a spokesman for a diet and beauty product. She still fat and she's butt ugly.
I sent them an email earlier today too.
I can't wait to see their faces when they return to work on Monday.
Whoopi Cushion is fugly! Didn't Ted Danson do a film called "White Men Can't See"?
bttt
I wrote to them already. I just read the email a friend of mine sent--she added something I wish I'd thought to include:
"I no longer have an appetite for SlimFast. Every time I look at something with the SlimFast logo on it, I think of what Whoopi Goldberg said and I feel nauseous." Something along these lines might be good to include in your letter of protest. Food companies just hate it when people lose their appetite for one of their products!
WhooPIG
I'm still scratching my head over Weight Watchers decision to use Monica Lewinsky as their spokesblimp.
Just sent my email as well.
Hope all freepers will do same.
'Course Whoopi is also a good example that SlimFast doesn't work...
I just finished writing to them. I feel so much better now! We have GOT to keep the pressure on these people and their corporate supporters to the extent that we can. We can make a difference if we let them know our feelings.
I thought I was Jenny Craig??
Let's not go there--the thought of that...."woman" having sex makes me wanna....urp...ulp...gotta go....
After Whoopi Goldberg's shameless hatriotic display in New York shilling for the anti-American John/John ticket, I will no longer buy any of your products while she remains your spokesperson. And forcryinoutloud...don't you want someone to speak for SlimFast that actually looks like the product works?

Re: Whoopi Goldberg
I use your products several times a year when I want to take off some quick weight. However, I cannot support your company as long as you have this woman as your spokesperson. While you pay her, she represents you. She did not do you well the other night. It's a free Country, you feel strongly about her, go ahead and keep her on. Your business will go down. I guarantee it. I'll find another product to use as will everybody I speak to. This just wasn't Whoopi giving her opinion as a US citizen, this was a crude, drunken tirade. Can you imagine what this country would be like if nobody was help at all accountable for the inappropriate things they say and do because they are celebrities? It's your choice, it's who you want to be as a Company. I wish you good luck with your decision.

No, you're Kevin Davis....;^)
Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers....one of those weight-loss outfits that Monica had no business hawking.
Didn't know but's could get that ugly!!!!
I meant HELD at all responsible.
Slim Fast products are over priced. There are plenty of copy cat products (Slim For Le$$) that work just as well and are cheaper.
"Following the recent behavior of SlimFast spokesperson Whoopi Goldberg with her profane and disgusting performance maligning the current President of the United States, I would like to ask SlimFast to reconsider their choice of spokesperson.Such activities and base behavior is unflattering to any company's product, and has made me seriously reconsider any support I may show for your product. Should Ms. Goldberg's representation of your products continue, the image of SlimFast will become even more tied to her profane, obscene and hateful political rhetoric.
As this is quite insulting to me, a supporter of both the President and SlimFast, should she remain as your spokesperson, I will be forced to reconsider my patronage of your company."
That is correct.. Why I don't know...
My read of SlimFast ingredients is that they are
overly focused on low-fat, are protein-deficient,
and are thus too far from 30-30-40 "balance".
Balance Bar and Zone Perfect products might make a
more effective alternative, entirely apart from the
issue of unpalatable spokespeople.
bttt
Whoopi looks like she ate Jenny Craig.
BTTT
My submission:
"Thank you for having Whoopi Goldberg as a spokesperson for your product. Since weight loss is the primary goal of SlimFast, having an ugly, obnoxious, foul-mouthed anti-American traitor-slut as your pitchwoman has many times caused me to lose my appetite, not just for food but for SlimFast as well. I couldn't have reached my weight-loss goals without you. Thanks again."
Here is my message to Slim-Fast:
I have been a faithful user of SlimFast, and although it has performed as advertised., I am writing you to tell you that I will cease buying your product as long as Whoopi Goldberg is your corporate "face". Her comments at a recent Kerry fundraiser are beyond the pale. I have several issues with the President, but if I had a public personna as Ms Goldberg I would measure my comments knowing what that personna is. Free speech is fine , and a protected right, but also words should have consequences. She is free to say as she likes, but I am also free to spend my money where I like. Free speech is fine for people like Ms Goldberg when they are speaking, but when an opposing view is stated, suddenly free spech is not so important. And so to reiterate, I shall not be spending any of my money on SlimFast as long as she is your corporate face.
Regards,
Democrats must be completely out of their minds allowing Whoopi to get within 500 feet of the door to that fundraiser, much less invite her on stage to speak.
They have terrible judgement.
I also sent them a note.
Just sent a letter. FREEPS AWAY!!
email sent...
Sent e-mail to http://www.slimfast.com. Reminded them of a better spokesperson they used to use, Tommy Lasorda.
Good idea...I just sent in a letter.
Whoopi - Be gone! Email sent.
AMEN!
WILL DO.
Wonder if Slimfast likes a drunk for a spokesperson or if they're planning on putting hard liquor in their product as a show of support for Whoopi.
Why would they use a fat ugly drunk communist moron as a spokesman anyway?
She certainly chronically
has 4 cheeks flapping.
Bye Bye Slugfast. Boycott time
Perfect. :)
Let's SlimFast gets rid of Whopper Goldberg...soon!
