Yep ! I made that up from the Michael Moore original.

Marines Express THEIR opinion of Michael Moore!

not very PC, not very nice …..

[Jet Jaguar]

DUDE! I did not need to see THAT.

For those who might have forgotten, Lipton Tea (another of Unilever's products) continued to sponsor the Dixie Chicks' concert tour after the Chicks made their infamously disparaging remarks about President Bush in the spring of 2003. In fact Lipton parodied the public backlash in a commercial featuring the Chicks:

In the fall of 2003 the Dixie Chicks starred in a broadcast TV commercial for Lipton Ice Tea which made a tongue-in-cheek reference to the corporate blacklisting and the grassroots backlash: in the tea spot, the Chicks are about to give a stadium concert when the electricity suddenly goes out - but they manage to electrify the stadium all by themselves, belting out a rousing "a capella" version of "Set Me Free" to the raving cheers of the fans.

Seems like Unilever likes to hire big-mouthed Leftists to represent their company. I say, let's keep up the boycott of Unilever and keep their stock falling!

[GeronL]

I am BLIND!!! I am BLIND!!! AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!

This is excellent news. I've always been under the impression that when an entertainer stooped to doing commercials, they needed the money. So without this added income, I wonder if Whoopie will finally appreciate the tax cuts initiated by President Bush. Maybe when she sobers up.

[Rastus]

I'm sure if Big Whoop has been pulled, we'll hear that it wasn't the boycott. "That campaign was at the end of its cycle." Just like with Commie Glover and MCI.

[GeronL]

Oh I agree. We need to boycott ALL of Unilever until they get the message or start selling parts of their evil empire.

Thanks for the link to Slim-Fast - just sent in the following:

I've been a Slim-Fast as well as other Unilever products user for years. Since the vulgar hate attack of President Bush by Whoopi Goldberg, my family has made the decision to no longer purchase ANY Unilever products until the company publically fires Ms. Goldberg.

This is not a partisan decision by my family - it's a decision based on decency and fear for our country. The hate and bias of those guiding the media, politicians, some corporations and the entertainment field must be stopped if we are to survive. We will do our small part by not financing that hate with purchases.

Unilever could be a leader in corporate America by promoting all Americans stand united against the terrorists who want to kill us all.......rather than paying and giving voice to the hate-America voice. You decide - we have.

[Jet Jaguar]

ROTFLMFAO!

[feelgoodfox]

Damn, my daytrader friend doesn't read FR. He could've made a bundle on this one.

I'm impressed.

[GeronL]

Freepers are everywhere. Now if we can get some of that $1.2 billion to support FR, no more fundraisers!

[texasflower]

That amounts to a one-day LOSS of $1.2 BILLION dollars for shareholders!

Wow! That is incredible.

[kattracks]

BTTT

[backhoe]
