Unilever Pulls Slim-Fast Ads With Whoopi Goldberg (Update2) - Barf Alert Resp, incl.
Bloomberg ^ | July 14, 2004 | Staff

Posted on 07/15/2004 11:30:28 AM PDT by buzzyboop

Goldberg's Response:

``While I can appreciate what the Slim-Fast people need to do in order to protect their business, I must also do what I need to do as an artist, as a writer and as an American, not to mention as a comic,'' Goldberg said in an e-mailed statement.

``I've done material on every president in the past 20 years, from Reagan to Carter, from Clinton to Bush,'' Goldberg said, adding that ``it seems now that people from the other side are using this to further their own agenda.''

Translation - she can't be "funny" without being crass and doesn't think that her conduct should cost her money.

And?

You weren't trying to further your agenda?

Quite whining and accept responsibility for your own actions!

I am a proud member of "the other side"- she, on the other hand, is a disgrace.

Isn't it interesting how she claims non-partisanship - alleging she did the same to Clinton and Carter - in the same breath that she says "the other side"?

If you're non-partisan, there is no other side.

What is the different between Whoopi's bush, and our President--- our president don't stink!

Whoopi was never funny, and is never funny, and the idiots who think that she is funny or support her worthless work, are simply that - IDIOTS!

This is the problem with modern comics....they're not funny!

So they try to make up for it by performing two hours of idiotic smut.

God...I know he has a special place up there....but could you possibly send Bob Hope down a couple of times a year and have him do a few shows? Dean Martin, Crosby, and some of the other greats?


Whoopi...run a comb through that rats nest and call us when you get some sense.

Now let's go after the Nickelodeon show..

I think we could be ten times more effective on that one because most of us have kids and we buy a lot of those things advertised on Nick 2.

Unilever is right for busting Whoopi on her vulgarity and it's implications as a improper image for their product. But that should be the end of it. I'm sure Ms. Goldberg, however offensive she may now be, has done some good in her life.

Call it a day folks. You're going to end up bashing Ms. "Sister Act" and it won't play to your advantage in middle America.

I think she's got voice roles in two movies that are coming out pretty soon, Racing Stripes and Pinocchio 3000. Wonder if it would be a good idea to boycott the film companies that put those movies out, too? In other words, boycott not only those two movies, but anything else they release?

20 years? So she is doing Carter jokes in 1984. That is the sign of a good comic, fresh material.

Have you seen Lincoln's beard lately, whats up with that?
And hey Taft, the ocean called, they're running out of shrimp.

Thank you, I'm here til Sunday. Try the veal!

Her 'art' is on the order of "Piss Christ" and the elephant dung painting of the Virgin Mary, only not nearly as respectable.

What you need to do as a comic is make me laugh. You failed in your duty, Ms. Goldberg.

Actually, the only thing that makes her comical is that she thinks she is an artist.

She really is, however, a "big loser", with a really yucky mouth.

Thanks for the ping, Dansy !

Meg, Arrow: Here is an article that contains Whoopi Cushion's statement:


Goldberg's Response

``While I can appreciate what the Slim-Fast people need to do in order to protect their business, I must also do what I need to do as an artist, as a writer and as an American, not to mention as a comic,'' Goldberg said in an e-mailed statement.

``I've done material on every president in the past 20 years, from Reagan to Carter, from Clinton to Bush,'' Goldberg said, adding that ``it seems now that people from the other side are using this to further their own agenda.''
