Whoopi Goldberg is a spokesperson for Slimfast- which, along with Birdseye, Lipton, Iglo, Hellman’s, Bertolli, Healthy Heart, Knorr, Family Brand, Findus is owned by Unilever. Let Unilever know how you feel about Ms. Goldbeg's actions. Click here to contact Unilever Remember- be polite!

My wife shows the same frustration with me.
But I'm not ready to roll over and play dead yet.

My note to Unilever:
I realize that spokespersons are selected to appeal to consumers. I also realize that spokespersons are people who have a right to express their own opinions. However, when a company selects a spokesperson, they must consider the existing and potential offensive publicity that person may bring to the public eye.

Take for example Whoopi Goldberg: I have found her opinions unacceptable in the past - but I don't use Slim-Fast, so I didn't feel the need to act. Her vile rant during the recent fundraiser for the Democratic Party offended me enough to look deeper - and I found that I was paying money to Unilever - I buy Hellmann's/Best Foods Mayonnaise. I have contributed to her support and platform from which to offend me.

No longer: My *ONLY* mayonnaise *WAS* Hellmann's/Best Foods. Just like my *ONLY* ketchup *WAS* Heinz.

I will even pay more to avoid supporting those who would destroy the good, the civility, the honor in our society.

If Unilever repudiates Ms. Goldberg, and her vulgar statements, I will gladly reverse myself and make an effort to buy Unilever products because that will demonstrate to me the company supports a civil society.

I don't expect Unilever to react appropriately, so I'm no longer a Hellmann's buyer and I'm on the watch to avoid any other Unilever products.

It still angers me that the predominant brand of chicken in the military commissaries I frequent is Tyson.

Just sent Unilever a very polite letter. Our family will no longer be buying Dove, Birdseye, Surf, Knorr or Hellmans-- even if our faces dry up like prunes and our hair is weighed down with normal conditioners.

As long as folks purchase products from companies that sponsor and endorse the crude, ill-mannered Hollywood bigwigs, these people will continue to believe that they have no limits and that there are no boundaries for behavior.
