Thank you for contacting us recently about our use of Whoopi Goldberg, specifically regarding her remarks made at the recent fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall. The manner in which Ms. Goldberg chose to express her personal beliefs at this event do not reflect the views and values of Slim·Fast.
Slim·Fast selected Whoopi Goldberg as its spokesperson because of her commitment to losing weight, which we applaud.
We are disappointed by the manner in which Ms. Goldberg chose to express herself and sincerely regret that her recent remarks offended you. Advertisements featuring Ms. Goldberg will no longer be on air.
We appreciate you sharing your views with us and we hope you will continue to use Slim·Fast as your partner in healthy weight management.
Sincerely,
Kathi Eckler Consumer Services Manager
Bttt
Wonder when I'll get my letter?
I haven't gotten a reply yet, either. I'm feeling insignificant.
I got mine last night.
Same exact one.
I've never gotten a bump from a Mod :-(
Gives me a warm fuzzy knowing that us FReepers led the charge and got that b*tch fired.
This may be the only way to really fight these left-wing fanatical hate-mongers...We need to hit these cronies where it hurts their hypocritical selves the most.
Especially right after they complain about "Capitalism" and how it ruins the less fortunate!
Let's go after the sponsers of that POS MM film!
They didn't send me an email yet, but I was glad that two days after I sent my email to Unilever, they responded by firing the loud mouthed, B-list hack.
Forgive my ignorance but I'm not real sure as to what the significance of a "bump from a mod." is.
Forgive my ignorance again but, what does "Bttt" mean?
Frankly, while Goldberg's remarks reflected badly on her position of spokesperson for Slim-Fast, and it is their concern as to how to deal with that, or even whether to do so, the most egregious comment I am aware of was by Kerry himself when he claimed that what was being said was mainstream America.
"This may be the only way to really fight these left-wing fanatical hate-mongers..."
It better be. I can't think of one good reason to keep paying these public figures (hollywood dopers) and their ilk with your hard earned cash so they can insult your opinions and beliefs, dictate, and abuse their public forum to the point of trashing America as a whole. No sane person would just stand there and allow a store owner to trash them then continue to patron his/her store. I refuse to pay or endorse people who attempt to tear me down.
Bump To The Top
"Back to the top".
I always thought that people insured with Progressive did so because of their high risk status....not being offered insurance by standard carriers.
You still got some 'splaining to do.
Whoopi has a been a partisan thug for 'Rat politics since the early 90's - at least.
Whomever made this selection, apparently just last year, did so in the full knowledge she was a Socialist Bush-hater.
In time of war, the decision to choose the anti-American Whoopi as a corporate sponsor is a serious condemnation of the values and judgement of the Slim-Fast company, and we are right to be suspicious of their motives.
Even their apology rings hollow: "we're sorry if you were offended". Sounds like they just want your money.
In other words, what is missing is:
"We agree with you. We too were offended, as any rational American would, particularly in time of war, and we apologize that you were offended too.
The decision to hire Whoopi was a mistake when it was made, not only because of her recent comments".

Got the same response. Have to admire Slimfast for dumping porky. Who's next?
Should start a list of other companies to boycott or get FReepers on....
